We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
To have a better understanding of the poem that I have read tonight we must listen to the comments of the prominent Iranian artist Mrs. Giti Moini.
For fourteen centuries the religion that was brought for us has forbidden the art of sculpture. They say anyone who follows this branch of art is promoting paganism.
Khomeini himself had asked his followers not to make any statue of him of even print his image on notes. Then the regime’s officials first printed his image on the national currency and later made a statute of him cut out of heavy board!
It was very fitting that the statute of a man who had said he did not have anysense of nationalism or belonging to a country called Iran, should be made of cheap paper and board.
He was a man who did not shed a tear for the death of his son because he did not know what tears mean in humans. As such he ordered the massacre of thousands of people, as he did not care about the tears that their parents and wives and husbands and children might shed.
This was a man who brought the medieval and satanic notion of Velayateh Faghih to our country, which has destroyed our nation. And now dissident cleric Karoubi has confessed that Rafsanjani was responsible for making Ali Khamenei succeed Khomeini and hence continuing with this satanic kind of religious dictatorship.
The regime’s hypocrisy and malicious acts knows no boundaries as it has now promoted the police officer who murdered a student during the 1997 student uprising to the rank of a colonel!
And at the same time they are about to execute Ramin Hossein Panahi for taking part in a students protest.
One wonders what other fate except that of Libya’s Gadhafi could await these murderous rulers of Iran?
As I explained yesterday, the sham trial of Rahim Mashaie, Ahmadinejad’s former deputy must be condemned, despite all the miseries that their eight year long administrations brought onto our people.
The regime’s judiciary has accused Mashaie of having had a relationship with the widow of the executed general Rahimi, a charge that shows how low the country’s “justice system” has gone.
The reactionary mullah Alam Ulhoda in Mashad has denied that the holy city has now many brothels, which has proved popular with Arab sex tourists.
Sad as it is, one needs to remind this mullah that if it were not for the financial gains of the very “charities” that he and his murderer son-in-law Ebrahim Raisee run, these brothels would have closed down over night!
