A Window to the Fatherland/Dr. Nourizadeh/February 1

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:

I was looking at an interview with Dr. Marandi, the personal physician for Khamenei, and wondered what kind of people he and the likes of Dr Fazel really are.

Fazel was a dentist and before the revolution used to go to cabarets and watch the legendary Jamileh dance on the stage and enjoy himself.

But with the arrival of the religious leaders he suddenly became a revolutionary. People like him are a shame for Iran’s medical professions as I have witnessed how the majority of them have so generouslyhelped the lower classes.

I have been watching a newly released footage of Khomeini speaking in Paris during his exile, which deals with his views on women. It is packed with his negative attitude towards women and I am amazed how people did not foresee what calamities were awaiting to take place in Iran under his rule. Only ayatollah Shariatmadari knew him and his backward ideas.

Again once in Iran Khomeini had another interview with the Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci who holds him to account that while he was in Paris he had promised the freedom of choice for women but in power he has put so many restrictions on them.

Another calamity that Khomeini brought onto Iran was his plan for an increase in the number of population which he saw the as the army of his twisted mission to conquer the Muslim world.

Our great poet and satirist Hadi Khorsandi has written a piece about Khamenei’s reaction to the events in Venezuela which so beautifully pictures how he and his regime are so desperate to see that theregime of Maduro survives the revolution in that country, as the next in line would be his to fall at the hands of the Iranian people.
