More than four decades after the tragic Islamic Revolution of 1979, the suffocating rule of Islam casts its death-bearing pall over Iranians. A proud people with an enviable heritage have been systematically purged of their sense of identity and forced to think and behave like barbaric and intolerant Muslims.
While the repressive regime suffocates the entire Iranian strata, the conniving mullahs are working overtime to obtain the ultimate death weapon—the nuclear bomb—the most efficient and economical way of inflicting death on the masses of infidels.
The modern manifestation of the Islamic Caliphate has been reincarnated into the “the Islamic Republic” of Iran, which has been holding the Iranian people hostage for the past 40 years. The Islamists ruling the country hope to realize their expansionist master plan after defeating the people of Iran, and ultimately unleashing their reign of Islamic terror on the rest of the world in succession. Hence the importance of world support for the Iranian people (not because of altruistic and an unselfish regard for others, but as self-interest) cannot be overemphasized.

In 2009 and after enduring more than four decades of the Islamic regime, the great majority of the Iranian people decided to cast their ballots in the hope of affecting change within the system. The Islamic government completely accustomed to doing whatever it wished and ignoring the people, stole the election and declared the incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the winner. Their blatant violation of this basic right to vote and choose the official infuriated the long-suffering masses who poured into the streets by the millions, demanding their votes be counted and honored. The response of the regime was to beat the demonstrators, arrest many and subject a great number to a raft of harsh treatment in prison.
Iranians deserve better than being manipulated by a bunch of devilish mullahs who have been riding on the back of the ignorant poor, while deceiving the poor and with empty promises of all the goodies that they are promised in the afterlife. Not a bad scheme for the charlatan mullahs. They have it all in this world while issuing IOUs to their victims, by the authority, they claim vested in them by none other than Muhammad.
The Islamic Republic is also supporting almost every rebel or terrorist group in every Islamic country from East Asia, the Middle East to North Africa, including the Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis in Yemen and even Al-Qaida, at various times. None of these rebel groups had or have any respect for the Islamic Republic, but for its petrodollar. With this damaging behavior directed towards Iran’s national interests, the Islamic Republic won the antipathy of the world community. A proud nation which once was the icon of goodness, friendship and humanism, had now become the symbol of evil, terrorism, homicide, deception and corruption.
Like the ISIS terrorists, this regime from the very beginning, began the animosity toward Iranian pre-Islamic culture and history and became the hallmark of the Islamic Republic’s regime. De-Persianization and adulation of the Arabic tribal culture entered elementary school books. In schools, instead of teaching Persian history, culture and geography and history, they taught culture and geography of the Bedouins of another land. In schools, children were brainwashed by a type of ideological indoctrination no longer acceptable by modern society and taught a Persian language obliterated by unfamiliar jargon. Purging of our institutions of higher education of scholars, top professors and researchers caused lowering of educational standards relative to international standards and flight of the best and the brightest of our country.
Right from the start, a concerted effort was made to demolish historical monuments such as Persepolis and tomb of Cyrus the Great, and destroy cultural heritage by pilfering the archeological relics, museums and sites and by denying all beliefs and customs Iranian. The Islamist zealots ruling Iran for the past 40 years have undertaken a systematic campaign of endangering and destroying the cultural sites of pre-Islamic Iran, ignoring the numerous petitions and pleas of the Iranian people.
The Islamic Republic’s discriminatory and monopolistic treatment of religious minorities and people of certain geographic areas, and widespread gender discrimination, separates these segments of population from the mainstream of Iranian society and denies them civil rights and full participation in civic responsibilities. While the Islamic Republic has denied a major portion of the population the benefits of access to the country’s resources and opportunities, it has also denied the country of their capabilities and talents.
Women of Iran, who were well on the way of taking their rightful place in society and a share in civic responsibilities, have been suffering worst kind of denial and humiliation due to enactment of certain tribal laws and the most inhuman social limitations and penal punishments. Iranian women, however, with the will and courage true to their national heritage, are fighting back defending their human rights in form of peaceful protest movements. Ignoring the civil rights of half the population, just for reason of gender and archaic ideas is not deserving of any woman.
I predict that the current conditions governing Iran will not last very long. The general discontent and the extent of civil movements coupled with external influences have created a condition which can only be triggered by an explosion. No one knows or can predict when that trigger moment will occur; or how, when or where; nor what the ensuing fire will burn.
The deep anger and general hopelessness can drag people into any direction and make them do many things. A countrywide rebellion or political chaos can in no way be beneficial to the nation. But, what is probable is that in the case of any rebellion, the violence we experienced during the 1979 revolution was unprecedented and shocking.
In addition to the extensive public discontent of today, the Iranian armed forces are also showing signs of frustration and anger due to the double standards of the corrupt top commanders. Within the Revolutionary Guards (Sepah) where high ranking commanders from their humble beginnings have amassed astronomical wealth and live in palaces, this discontent and frustration is considerable. The discontent of the armed forces was first shown in the 1997 elections. Now, due to the widespread and increasing financial and ethical corruption, the discontent within the rank and file of the Revolutionary Guards has multiplied and they seem to have become less tolerant.
The Basij (a paramilitary volunteer militia) also, are either brainwashed or do anything for money and other incentives. The majority have joined only to enjoy its membership benefits such as the ease of college entrance, food rations and various kinds of discounts and financial assistance. This lot will distance itself at the first blow of the storm and may join the people.
What becomes clearer to the people during these past forty years is that the Islamic Republic has not had any achievements except destruction, backwardness, corruption and violence. This has happened while all other countries in the region which were behind us in every aspect and lived in poverty, violence and backwardness, achieved admirable progress in economic, political and social conditions. While Iran during these forty years despite over $800 billion dollars in oil income, has been held behind miserably compared to the other Middle Eastern nations.
Therefore, the reason for Iran’s defeat and backwardness in all these areas cannot have any reason except the Islamic Republic. On the other hand, due to the depth and spread of economic, political and social ills inflicted by the Islamic Republic, the management of the transitional period for the country from the current to a democratic system is not something every one person or group can handle singly. It requires exceptional capabilities, courage and unity of purpose, and can be achieved only by an elite team.
Iran is now experiencing its biggest internal political crisis since its last mass protests — those in 2009 in response to the re-election of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, marred by allegations of vote rigging. For months, the Iranian people have taken to the streets to protest against their government, a cruel and oppressive Islamist theocracy that claims a monopoly on morality. These are not just demonstrations about economic struggles and water shortages—results largely of the regime’s corruption and incompetence. The popular protests also show a growing rejection of the Islamic Republic’s brutal rule, and even its existence altogether.
A regime that subjects its own people to unending viciousness is showing the world its willingness to commit any crime to intimidate others and to undertake any action that would keep it in power. The Islamic Republic of Iran represents devastation and death if not immediately disempowered by all people and nations that value the Universal Human Rights for all. It is timely to bring to mind the warning of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is indeed a miscarriage of justice, a cruel repressive rule, and an imminent threat not only to Iranians but to the world at large. Time is ripe for regime change.

when will zombies of UK wake up and protest against Iranian style sharia police of UK ?
Sharia Police in Uk are not willing to protect those who speak truth about islam https://tinyurl.com/ya6j3phj
Instead go after those who expose the jihadi crimes and oppose their Left/Liberal supporters !

The author of this article is an Iranian born, now an American citizen. Though I would hope that his anti-Islam commentary might ultimately actually happen, I do not see that occurring in the near future in Iran. As long as the army supports the ayatollah that is not a likely event. If an overthrow of the Iranian theocracy would occur, the ripple affect world-wide might be monumental. If that happened in Iran, with knowledge of world events being impossible to hide, I would hope and expect that people within those countries ruled by a dictatorial system, like North Korea, China, Russia might also see the merit to rejecting how they are also being governed. This all maybe wishful thinking, but I would certainly root for it to happen. I hope that our leaders all see that as good for this world, and that they do, or continue to do, whatever is necessary to enable those events to occur.

Let me re-emphasize that the current protests in Iran are just as much against the Islamic Republic as they are about Shi’a Islam. In fact, much of it is against Islam itself. People have experienced what a primitive and defective system of belief Islam is and aim to abandon it for good. Many will still hang on to it for some time.
Time has arrived to end the Mullahs’ reign of terror. We Iranians and Iranian-Americans — in spirit free people of the world — greatly cherish individual liberty and freedom, where the mind is imbued with enlightenment, and every individual by virtue of being born human is afforded measured freedom. It is within the open expanse of liberty that each and every person can be at his or her best. And when the individual person is at his best, humanity is as well.

I share your enlightened thoughts absolutely. I have been one of those people who have stated for over 30 years my belief that the belief system that is Islam, especially by those who accept the promotion of Jihad against non-believers, was and continues to be dangerous to us who treasure free speech, due process and equal protection. I have become an admitted Islamophobic, while I recognize that most people raised in that belief system, I would hope would reject the inane suggestion that doing harm to non-believers is rational. Nevertheless, as long as the Mullahs and Muslim leaders preach and promote the Jihadi views, I will find Islam unacceptable within free world society. I very much appreciated your article, and as I stated before, hope that somehow the Iranian people will end the theocracy that is causing them so much harm.

Thank you. With the election of President Trump, once again, the Iranian people are encouraged. They have watched the value of the rial plummet from 37,500 to the dollar in June 2017 to 90,000 mow, as sanctions are retuning and the economic vice is tightening, putting pressure on the Islamic regime to change its behavior.
The Islamic Republic’s infamous record is replete with instances of child execution, restrictions on freedom of speech and the press, imprisonment of journalists, discrimination against women in general, and persecution of religious minorities (with a particular systematic program of genocide against the Baha’is and their religion). The regime has ruled over a peaceful people with an iron fist while committing the most heinous crimes against humanity. I believe this time is the real deal.

There is a general perception of the ‘Mullahs’ that rule Iran are some sort of puritanical religious leaders living austere lives. Actually, they are all addicted to opium, heroin, pederasty, sadism and have accumulated individual fortunes in the tens of millions of dollars.

the majority of mullahs are heavy opium smokers. In that land, opium smoking is still very popular with people who can afford the fruit of the Poppy. It is the Muslim’s alcohol. Although its use is prohibited by law, with stiff penalties on the books, the use of opium continues and has become more endemic than ever under the mullahs’ rule. This is in part because many of the mullahs as well as the law-enforcement officials are users and many officials make a personal fortune by getting their cuts from the traffickers. Opium is the drug of choice in the countryside, and heroin is primarily used by the more affluent city dwellers. Moreover, this is the drug that is used to calm the restless people.”

I know that there were rumors on the internet, some time ago, that the “Great Leader” Al Khamenei has amassed millions if not billions on foreign bank accounts!
I reckon they were true!

Millions? Boy are YOU naive.
“A six-month investigation by Reuters has said that Khamenei controls a “financial empire” worth approximately US$95 billion that is not overseen by the Iranian Parliament.”

How spiritual, i must say. Barbarity of Shariah is for the people, opium and making himself a billionaire (at the exepense of the iranian people) are for the “Great Leader” !

The Mullahs are much like Demoncraps here in America. They have NO respect for the people. They treat you and your country like sh it, all the while stealing YOUR money and wealth for the “greater” cause.
These people are MONSTERS inside and demons on the outside. How you could ever vote in these political hacks and retards is beyond me.
They are mentally-ill people don’t you understand???

These people need to leave Islam itself! As long as anyone Muslim is connected with a position of power in their country, they will never be free.
They need not only a revolution against the Islamic Republic — they need a revolution against Islam itself.

Just a slight correction azizam. “In 2009 and after enduring more than four decades of the Islamic regime, ” – that’s 3 decades to that time. HIM Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi left Iran on January 16th 1979 unfortunately never to return & we can all thank James Earl Carter for that – but that’s another story.
The Basij will NOT swap sides. They are the ones who carried out most of the brutality of the regime after the 2009 elections. There are 1000’s of photos showing their gleeful involvement. It was a Basij who shot & killed Neda Agha Sultan, who quickly became a symbol of the brutal repression. Even the doctor who attended her as she lay dying, was then hunted & he had to flee Iran for his life.
What is little remembered is at one stage the regime was so rattled that they sent $20 BILLION worth of currency, bullion etc in a convoy to Turkey for safe-keeping in case the murderous mullah’s & regime were overthrown.
The people were hoping and expecting that Obama would help. But of course being a closet moslem he did jacksh*t & never would. Only have to look at his Iran deal.
The people in 2009 were more idealistic & wanted a peaceful “green” revolution. That was their biggest mistake. While there was plenty of “Marg Bar Diktator” & “Marg Bar Khamenei” etc there was little PHYSICAL action against the thugs.
Hopefully the Persian people remember that bitter lesson & not be afraid to use violence against the Basij, the regime & apparatchik. There is no other way to remove the cancer.

Only the muslimes could combine their medieval religious fervor with tools of modern technology, much like the kamikaze pilots of WWII.

“HERE IN AMERICA I WILL SHOOT FIRST THEN ASK ABOUT SHARIA LAW, NEVER!”
● An increasing number of America’s public schools are commemorating Muslim holidays, serving Halal food, and holding Islamic prayers towards Mecca. In 2014, Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado became the first American high school to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic, replacing “One nation under God,” with “One nation under Allah” (see Allah Moon God).
● In the landmark 2010 pro-Sharia ruling on S.D. v. M.J.R., Judge Joseph Charles Jr. of New Jersey concluded that the Muslim ex-husband repeatedly had raped (see Taharrush) his Muslim ex-wife. After testimony from the Muslim man’s imam, the judge denied the ex-wife’s request for a permanent restraining order against her ex-husband, citing the Muslim man’s “belief.”
● To attract and manage Muslim wealth, an increasing number of American financial institutions quietly began taking steps to become Sharia-compliant. This includes donating a percentage of their annual profits to Islamic groups that are designated by their Sharia-compliance advisors, many of whom belong to the Muslim Brotherhood and funnel funds to Jihadi groups (the donations must go to one or more of eight recipient categories, one of which is Jihad), including Hamas and Hezbollah

Sure, not now. But that’s not because you’ve started shooting, it’s just because nobody – yet – has got themselves elected to a position of power. PS, you can’t shoot new laws or court rulings, only humans.

If Iran is truly at “the breaking point”, that would make them very, very dangerous. War is the solution for many “dictatorships” when it look like the “sh…t” is abut to hit the fan.
