The illegitimate government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is a “quisling” entity that has betrayed its people, its traditions, its glorious pre-Islamic achievements, and is working against Iran’s national interest. Iran, under the stranglehold and machinations of the Mullahs, has been transformed, in less than three decades, as a perpetrator of evil and of all that is abhorrent to humanity.

The life that God gives, no man should extinguish. The illegitimate mullahs presently ruling Iran have blatantly violated this sacred covenant while shooting at a large number of peaceful demonstrators demanding nothing more than their God-given rights to individual liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The mullahs and their mercenaries waste precious human life to maintain themselves in power while terrorizing the population.

For three decades, this is how the Mullahs have dealt with those who disagree with them.

Our hearts bleed watching the brutally of government agents, their treatment of children, assaulting them in their dormitories at night while they sleep or invading the sanctuary of their homes to physically abuse and arrest them. Regretfully, the ruling regime sees these actions as part of their sacred duty. They see any defiance to the supreme leader as defiance of Allah. They call the demonstrators who just want their voices to be heard “terrorists,” “wretched”, “thugs” and “agents of foreign governments.” If they do not shoot people outright, they savagely rape them in prisons and attack their own citizens with knives, chains, batons and any other crude weapons they can get their hands on.

The recent ransack of the British Embassy compound in Tehran by the Islamic Republic paramilitary force, the Basij, is reminiscent of the 1979 seizure and takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, when Islamists held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. The attack came after the U.K. last week announced it would join the U.S. and Canada in coordinated sanctions against the Islamic Republic banks in a bid to cut off financing of its nuclear program. This is yet another poignant evidence that the Islamic Republic of Iran cannot be reformed. Regime change is the only viable option.

We call upon the free governments of the world, as well as all other businesses, organizations and individuals to enlist in a non-violent campaign to end the reign of terror of a belligerent clerical regime. Governments should enact immediately the following:

1. Declare unequivocally the commitment to respect the territorial integrity of Iran, as well as the rights of the Iranian people to decide, through the democratic process, all matters pertaining to their lives and country.
2. Initiate, without delay or equivocation, a comprehensive program of assistance to all democratic Iranian opposition groups, both within as well as outside of Iran, in their struggle to accomplish the regime change themselves.
3. Proclaim far and wide, the cardinal reason for taking these measures against the Mullahs’ reign of terror is to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons, the threat they pose to the region as well as to the world, and the stimulus they provide for other Middle Eastern nations to develop their own nuclear arsenal.
4. Enforce the U.N. sanctions by inspecting every vessel headed for Iranian ports to make sure they are not ferrying prohibited material. Other than vessels known to be carrying food and medicine, each ship should be subjected to a rigorous and thorough inspection.
5. Establish an Iran Assistance Fund, from Iran’s frozen assets as well as contributions from peace-loving individuals and organizations, to assist Iranian families during the hardship that the sanctions may create.
6. Persuade Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and other Persian Gulf oil producers to significantly increase their output and drastically cut the price. It is what they must do to help forestall the emergence of a nuclear clerical Iran bent on ruling the region.
7. Cease or freeze all assets of the past and present officials of the IRI abroad on the legal ground that they are stolen funds from the Iranian nation and make their release conditional on the review of impartial international tribunals. On the top of this list must be any and all assets that the officers of the Revolutionary Guards and their families have tucked away abroad.
8. Shut down, or severely restrict the operation of the Mullahs’ businesses in Dubai and other Persian Gulf states.
9. Completely shut down Iranian missions. Severely restrict Iranian officials and nuclear scientists from foreign travel. Shut down your embassies in Iran and recall your ambassadors from Iran.
10. Deny the Iranian airlines operation and encourage non-Iranian airlines to cease serving the country. Provide for flights that serve emergency medical and other health-related needs of the Iranians.
11. File legal charges against the leaders of the Islamic Republic’s wanton violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; for their crimes against humanity, genocidal actions against religious and political groups; for support of international terrorism; for demolition of religious sites and cemeteries; for rape, torture, and summary execution of prisoners of conscience; for forgery of documents, for acts of blackmail and fraud, and much more.
12. Declare and treat the clerical regime as illegitimate.
13. Stop Iran’s import of refined petroleum products.
14. Shut down the Islamic Republic’s web sites and block their television and radio broadcasts such as Press TV that will cut down regime's most influential global propaganda machines in the English language and their influence in Muslim communities in Europe.
15. Identify the agents of the Islamic Republic and prosecute them as promoters of international terrorism.
16. Investigate individuals and organizations such as National Iranian-American Council (NIAC) in Washington that lobby for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
17. Obtain the collaboration of international banks and other monetary institutions in denying letters of credit to Iranian government agencies and companies. This action greatly impedes the working of the government and particularly its program of acquiring weapons and weapons material.
18. Pressure businesses to stop dealing with Iran.
19. Pressure governments to stop doing business with Iran. Warn countries such as China and Russia against circumventing the U.N. resolution and engaging in commercial adventurism.

While the sanctions will clearly hurt the Iranian people, a temporary hurt of this nature is a price that people are willing to pay to get rid of scourge of the IRI. These Mullahs are determined to get their bloody hands on the atomic bomb and further strengthen their position in promoting violence and mayhem in the Middle East and beyond. In the process, we the Iranian people will end up the victims. President Obama must step up the pressure on the IRI. Once the IRI falls, the lynchpin of Islamism will be destroyed. America, Israel, and the rest of the world will be hugely safer without the end-of-the-worlder Mullahs being in command with nuclear weapons at their disposal.

We are gravely concerned that the confrontational course of the illegitimate clerical regime of Iran will ultimately ignite the flame of war. We urge the leaders as well as people of the world to join in the non-violent campaign of dislodging the mullahs and helping Iranians to establish a secular democracy. The Iran problem is both serious and urgent. It is the world’s problem. A warning to world governments and others: Timing is of the essence. You need to act now. Appeasement and apathy of this criminal regime with nuclear weapons will have far reaching and disastrous consequences.

The Tyranny of the Islamic regime of Iran
written by Walter Sieruk , December 01, 2011

In the light of this article in should be repeated that the cruel Islamic regime of Iran treats its people in many harsh ways . To this the Bible explains "If you see...justice and rights denied do not be suprised at such things." Ecclesiastes 4:2. In the same Bible book in 5:8 it also reads "I saw the tears of the oppressed- and they have no comforter; power was on the side of the oppressors..." Also, Proverbs 15:15 reads "All the days of the oppressed are wretched..." Furthermore, Proverbs 28:15 may apply to either president Ahmadinjad of Ayatollah Khamenei which teaches "Like a roaring loin or a charging bare is a wicked man ruling over a helpless people." In short, this ruthless dictatorship of these two characters as well as the mullahs who are in power in Iran in the way they treat the Irainian people may be summed up in Proverbs 29 2 which reads "when the wicked rule, the people groan." [NIV]

The Islamic rulers in Iran
written by Walter Sieruk , December 01, 2011

Those curel mullahs and other Islamic dictators who have the power in Iran may be best described in the Bible in Psalm 73: 6-9 which reads "There pride is their necklace; they clothe themslves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits oftheir minds know no limits. They scoff and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression. their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their touges take possession of the earth." [NIV]

The Islamic extremists of Iran
written by Walter Sieruk , December 01, 2011

Just one example of the extreme jihadist mind-set of the characters who have the power in Iran may be seen that on Irainian television president Ahmadinjad of Iran proclamed "The message of the [Islamic] revolution is golobal and is not restricted to a specific place or time. Have no doubt, Allah willing. Islam will conquer what ? It will conquer all the mountain tops of the world."

You live in one so why shouldn't they.

I got no problem with that, let the people choose!
I have a problem when someone external tries to shove their system on people.
If the Iranians choose secularism or a theocracy. As long as they choose what system to live by, it's all good!

The Evil Islamic Regime of Iran
written by Walter Sieruk , December 01, 2011

First, the Islamic "Republic" of Iran is not a real republic but a ruthless dictatorship. thus it's false in its name. Second, Amil Imani kayboarded the truth when he wrote that this "illegitmate clerical regime will ultimatly ignite the flames of war." For this Heinous regime provides funds and supplys training for murderous jihadist entities such a the Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas and other violent Islamic groups. This regime even sink so low as to send their operatives to the above mentioned groups to teach them who to make I.E.D.s. Furthermore, The rulers in power Iran lie when they claim that they want to go nuclear only for peaceful uses. They are very disingenous and cannot be reasoned with. The mullahs and other Islamic characters who have the power in Iran claim that their intentions are peaceful. In makining this calim they are really practicing Taqqiyya [Deception]. They really know who to dissimulate. Amil Imani is right to want this evil regime overthrown. This takes the form of many things. Two of which are Conviction and Fortitude. As Thomas Jefferson wrote ideas that apply is this time andwel as his. He wrote "A conviction that we are right accomplishes half the difficulty of correcting wrong." and "Foritiude...teaches us to meet and surrmount difficulties; not to fly from them."

At one point the Iranians choose for theocracy, that can not be denied.
But any theocracy is totalitarian and leaves notting to choose... It's the mullahs now who "shove their system on people".
So eventually it will all come down with a bang just like the shah did.

Why are the iranians wailing like cowards? They overthrew a despot ,Shah of Iran , about nearly four decades ago and ushered in mullahs. Why can't they overthrow these mad fanatic mullahs and usher in modern secular democracy? After all , it is the people who are responsible for the tolerance and abject submission to murderous clerics who commit all kinds of attrocities in the name of that barbaric and most uncouth arabian deity Allah. They should not expect outside interference, especially the USA ,which is itself a country of christian fundamentalists and fanatics. Moreover,whereever this arrogant nation intervenes, the religious fanatics get the upperhand and the whole country is put in turmoil. Take for instance ,Pakistan , a favourite of USA never had democracy since its birth and always ruled by the military junta directly or through proxy civilians, look at the condition of Afghanuistan.In the name of defeating the soviets/communists , the americans and the pakis instigated and helped form hundreds of ragtag criminals and religious fundamentalists and fanatics ,armed them, financially supported them in the destruction of this once magnificent country and took them to the barbaric stone age from which they have never recovered . Or for that matter Iraq which is still in a state of bloody turmoil with mullahs calling the shots. Libya will also be swamped by fanatics. The recent polls in Egypt has shown the muslim brotherhood gaining majority. You invite the USA and the west ,you are inviting disaster from which you may never recover. The west are least bothered about democracy and freedom elsewhere other than themselves , they only pay lip service and use it as a convenient weapon to extract concessions from you. If your country has oil-wealth ,their conerns will be shriller and overbearing. So much for these hypocrites! So, it is better you organise amongst your own people and arrive at a position that appeals to the common man and also to the vested interest ,than look for help from foreigners,who anyway couldn't care less unless you have something they covet for.

Iranian Islamic 'Republic' is a misnomer. The mullahs hold the key by exercising veto power over all legislation. Nobody is expected to fight for the Iranians; they have to fight their own battle. It is for the Iranian dissidents like the author to mobilize their people by assuming the roles played by Mazzini-Cavour- Garibaldi in Italy and Rousseau- Voltaire-Montesquieu in France in the 19 th Century. Nobody foresaw the collapse of Communism in 1989-91. Likewise, the edifice of Islam will collapse one day all of a sudden. Islam has so long managed to survive by using brute force, as it has a very weak moral foundation. Such a fragile ideology has no chance of survival for long.

Kill Mullahs

We need a new Gengis Khan to crucify those mullahs outside every mosques in Iran.

Yes, Archpagan, you are absolutely right. You might notice, for sometime I have been comparatively absenting here. Earlier also i stated my view that more than the Islam itself, our main focus should be motivated towards the paid touts of islam from outside Islamist mass. the so called liberals, in my view, the intellectual prostitutes. I have been spending more time to counter them in related sites. Pl. try to move there also. These kepts of muslims are not negligible force. undermining them will be grivously counterproductive.
