Islamic “Democide” in Iran
by Amil Imani
The dictionary defines
“Democide”
as "The murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass
murder."
Democide means for
governments what murder means for an individual under municipal law. It is the
premeditated killing of a person in cold blood, or causing the death of a
person through reckless and wanton disregard for their life. Thus, a
government incarcerating people in a prison under such conditions that they
die in a few years is murder by the state.
With that in mind, the
Islamic Republic of Iran is the greatest megamurderer in recent history,
killing thousands of people a year without any due process.
To avoid public outrage,
arrests usually occur in the
dead of night. Individuals later find themselves held in "detention" for days,
weeks, months and even years without any formal charges whatsoever. By
obtaining self-incriminating confessions, the Islamic Republic is focusing on
destroying individuals' reputations, dignity and honour, while sowing the
seeds of contention, enmity, friction and the tearing to pieces of the best
human characteristics. Such is the plight of the Iranian
people.
The Intelligence Ministry of the Islamic Republic often
arrests and prosecutes people not necessarily for what they did, but for who
they are and what they are capable of doing. Their targets have been those
groups of people who were acclaimed or fluent in foreign languages, educators,
members of different organizations, leaders of communities, leaders of
different parties, writers, poets, intellectuals, and especially the
journalists.
Currently, the regime is holding Haleh Esfandiari,
a 67-year-old
Iranian-American woman who is the director
of the Middle East Program at the Washington-based
Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars.
Ms. Esfandiari came to
Iran months ago to visit her 93-year-old
mother and was prevented from leaving
Iran. On May 8,
2007 she was
arrested.
Following
weeks of interrogation about her work, she was accused of spying for
Israel. She has been transferred to
Iran’s notorious prison, Evin. For four
months the ministry officials repeatedly interrogated her in the same fashion
that they integrated Ziba (Zahra) Kazemi, an Iranian-Canadian journalist,
who was murdered by the agents of the intelligence ministry of the Islamic
Republic of Iran. Ms. Esfandiari has been
trapped in Iran since December when, according to the
Wilson Center, three masked men with knives stole her luggage and
passport as she headed to the airport to leave the country. In the weeks
before her arrest, she was called in for daily questioning on her
activities.
In April
2006 a prominent
Iranian-Canadian, Ramin
Jahanbegloo, was arrested on similar charges. Human Rights Watch said the
Iranian government’s mistreatment of Esfandiari recalls that of Ramin
Jahanbegloo, an Iranian-Canadian philosopher. After nearly four months of
detention and interrogation, Jahanbegloo was forced to “confess” that his
scholarly works had contributed to the planning of a “Velvet
Revolution”
The
government of the Islamic Republic in
Iran
is not run by human beings, but by thugs and murderers. President
Ahmadinejad,
affectionately known by the Iranians as “the Monkey,” is the leader of the
thugs. Naturally, it would make it difficult for other nations to reason and
work with these human look- alikes. Regretfully, the world has become
accustomed for
nearly 29 years to the events in
Iran and has
continued commerce with them despite the fact the Islamic Republic of Iran
continues to harass, torture, intimidate and kill its victims, the Iranian
people, on false pretenses. Some things never
change.
The oil
seems to be more important to these nations than the human rights and the
lives of the Iranian people. The Iranian people find this to be outrageous,
disgusting and truly appalling.
In the cycle of prison
horrors and terrors, the Islamic Republic of Iran uses many old
Soviet
Union techniques, ranging from
harassment, intimidation and tortures, to mechanical devices designed to
inflict gross tissue damage. They employ psychological and physiological
techniques, (an example is Ziba Kezemi, an Iraninan-Candian journalist), such
as solitary confinement and sleep deprivation. These techniques are commonly
being used on the Iranian youth by the Islamic Republic’s lackeys while the
Islamic Republic dreams of world domination.
Khomeini and his
supporters have copied the Stalinist techniques of establishing informers in
every neighborhood. This, coupled with fierce punishments for suspected
traitors and their families, created a fear among the population that made
rebellion almost impossible. More noticeably, they created and recruited a
group of torturers and secret policemen, mostly from the neighboring Islamic
countries who were hated by the population. This hate was conducive to the
leaders of the Islamic regime, for it ensured the loyalty of these henchmen,
these foreign thugs
The Islamic Republic of
Iran’s ambition is to acquire the bomb by any means available to them. One
thing that constantly worked for them was the ability to create chaos and
crises, both in Iran and other Muslim
countries. But, first and foremost, they need to bring the Iranian population
to its knees. They need to create Islamic jihadists by force and by
brainwashing techniques. In order to accomplish this evil mission, the
brutalization of the Iranian people becomes
necessary.
The Islamic Republic of Iran
is seeking either to end the world or make the world so chaotic as
to force the arrival of their imaginary hidden Imam, the Mahdi. What a
travesty!
A word of caution: do not
be naïve. Islam is not a religion of
peace. Islam is a cult of death and misery.
Terms such as “Political
Islam,” or “Radical Islam,” or “Militant Islam” for instance, are
contributions of the Useful Idiot. These terms do not even exist in the native
parlance of Islam, simply because they are redundant. Islam, by its very
nature and according to its charter—the Quran—is a radical political movement.
It is the Useful Idiot who sanitizes Islam and misguides the populace by
saying that the “real Islam” constitutes the main body of the religion; and,
that this main body is non-political and moderate.
Even a
cursory examination of Islam’s history and Islamic texts conclusively proves
the exact opposite of peacefulness. Islam was, and continues to be, a movement
of unbridled violence.
Hence, it
is a fact that Islam is misrepresented. It is misrepresented very effectively
by non-Muslim individuals and institutions who are generously rewarded by the
modern day Islamic conquerors.
This time
around the Muslims are using the immense amount of petrodollars they extract
from the addicted non-Muslims. The sword is temporarily replaced by just as
deadly a weapon— the petrodollar. Before long, the Muslims aim to add a more
deadly modern version of the sword—the Islamic bomb. With the bomb in one hand
and the other hand on the oil spigot, the non-Muslim world will be brought to
its knees by the religion of peace and
brotherhood.
To make
matters worse, the agents of death, the Mullahs, divert the sorely needed
funds at home to sponsor and support adventurous Islamic trouble-making
abroad. They supply weapons, provide funds, and train any and all takers who
share their wanton campaign of terrorism anywhere in the
world.
To understand the true
Islam, one needs to pay close attention to the words of the late Ayatollah
Khomeini, the father of Islamic terrorism. On the occasion of the birthday of
Imam Ali, Ayatollah Khomeini said:
“Qur'an says; kill,
imprison! Why are you only clinging to the parts that talk about mercy? Mercy
is against God. Mehrab means the place of war, the place of fighting. Out of
the mehrabs, wars should proceed, just as all the wars of Islam used to
proceed out of the mehrabs. The prophet has [had] sword to kill people. Our
[Holy] Imams were quite military men. All of them were warriors. They used to
wield swords; they used to kill people. We need a Khalifa who would chop
hands, cut throats, stone people. In the same way that the messenger of God
used to chop hands, cut throats, and stone people; in the same way that he
massacred the Jews of Banu Qurazyza, because they were a bunch of discontented people. If
the Prophet used to order the burning of a house or the extermination of a
tribe, that was justice.”
At this
conjuncture, a meaningful and comprehensive political, moral and economic
measure by the United
States and others offers the best chance of
ending the Mullah's reign of terror and diffusing the existential threat they
pose to the world. The Bible says, “To whom much is given, much is required” Perhaps it
is for this reason that the people of the United States of America, once
again, are called upon to make huge sacrifices to defeat another tyranny. It
is important that this great nation stays the course and, enlists its power in
support of freedom-loving Iranians to topple the ruling Islamofascists who are
bent on wreaking death and destruction on the
world.
The world
is a laboratory where the experiment with Islam shows irrefutable results. To
the extent that Islam rules any society, that society is stagnant, backward
thinking, repressive and violent. The Islamic Republic of Iran represents the
cutting edge for the newly petrodollar invigorated Islam. It is determined to
complete its task of ending the world of “Dar-ul-Harb”—the
non-Muslim world to be warred upon—and establishing the
“Dar-ul-Solh,” or “Dar-ul-Salam”—the Muslim world
of the Ummeh under the rule of the Mahdi. If achieving this aim hinges on the
conflagration of the Third World War, the mullahs are happy to make it
happen.
It is also important to keep in mind Albert Einstein’s warning,
“The world is a dangerous place not because of those who do evil, but because
of those who look on and do
nothing.”
The threat
of Islam is real. If you wish your children to grow up
and have a bright future, you must do all you can to defeat Islamism now
before we all vanish by the ever-creeping Islamofascisim. A warning:
Complacency is death. “Don’t part with
your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to
live.”
