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:
We continue the program with talking to our special guest of every Thursday, Dr. Mohsen Sazegara, who would share with us his expert views about the latest news and developments of Iran.
Yesterday I talked about the documentary that journalist Hossein Bastani has made about how the security forces fame up dissidents in Iran.
Dr. Mohsen Sazegara:
I must be honest and say that I was born in a religious family in Iran and grew up admiring Imam Ali and Imam Hossein fortheir defence of freedom and human values.
However, the Shia religion that the present regime in Iran has introduced is in complete reverse of those values and their greed for power has trampled upon every moral value that Islamic religion has introduced.
They justify lies and corruption and Khomeini even had said that if his regime faces any threat it is even justified to abandon prayers to god to save it.
However, if they think that our people are blind and do not see these travesties they are making a huge mistake as the Iranian people, including our journalists inside and outside the country have exposed their hypocrisy and crimes.
