I am a British-Iranian student living in London, and this blog is yet another Iranian blog that is focused on the Islamic Republic dynasty that is currently ruling Iran.
Just like many other Iranian bloggers, I am not a student of politics but I have chosen not to stay silent against the crimes I read and heard about everyday. I believe in peoples power and that people can and should change the world they live in for the better. This is why I don’t like to be passive about the crimes that are currently happening to the people of my country or in the name of my country.
Ever since the 1979 revolution in Iran, the Mullahs have forced Islam in to every aspect of Iranian life and cleansed the beautiful Iranian culture of love, brother and sisterhood, tolerance and respect to their culture of darkness where life has lost it’s meaning for most of the people besides making enough money to go from day to day. That’s not the life I believe in.
By bringing about poverty, unemployment, terror and tyranny, Islamic Republic has paralyzed the people that were once so proud of their country, to what it is now. The world’s biggest sponsor of terrorism. Through their terror they use the Iranian people’s oil money to export their culture to not only the neighbouring countries but all over the world.
There are those who accept this as a system of government. A government that is based on the idea that a Mullah clergy must tell it’s people how to live their life. What to wear. What religion to follow. Who to hate and what to die for.
There are idiots in the Iran and also in the West who accept this too, in the name of external threats and “Stop the War” they turn a blind eye on the crimes of this government, not only to it’s people but the terror it’s causing worldwide. Is pacifism the only answer to this problem? Is change really too costly for the future it will follow?
I believe there will be a change sooner or later in a peaceful manner and through civil disobedient by the people of Iran. by the struggle through workers movement, stuent’s movement, women rights and human rights movements, etc, etc. Will the people in the West keep quite about it? Or will they focus on the rights of the Iranian people instead of the rights of this criminal regime to gain Nuclear power?!
I hope for the day that we have a democratic and secular government in Iran. When we are not the biggest sponsor of terrorism no more. When the people are free to worship what they want, to criticise the government how they will and to have real influence over their lives. To the day when every morning students are not forced to shout “Death to” anybody no more and the value of human life is not different for different sexes. For the day where there is peace in the Middle East, and the world, because the money is being spent on better life and greater achievements, not killing people in the name of a God or religion.
