Iranians Love Americans

Truth4LifeLove@aol.com

Wow, thanks for showing the pictures of the Iranians in the streets showing sadness for the victims of the WTC...you are truly doing your part to bring peace to the world!

I have always, for about 10 years now thought that the peoples of IRAN HATED Americans, hated them so much!!!!! (I guess because I read that book "Not Without My Children") So, whenever I heard of Middle Easterners hating the U.S., I'd always think of what I'd read about the Iranians hating us and thought that Iran was the most horrible country...that the people there hated us the Most.

But now, I feel as if I wish to cry seeing those candlelight vigils...

Dear Caroline, 

23 years ago Iran was under the grip of a repressive regime supported by USA. When Khomeini came along, the people of Iran supported him because they saw in him a way to get rid of Shah. Remember that USA toppled the democratic government of Dr. Mossadegh in 1953 and imposed the late Shah who was a dictator. This was unfair and cruel. Iranians suffered a lot during the reign of Muhammad Reza Pahlavi. He killed and imprisoned thousands of Iranians and USA looked the other way. It is natural for people to be resentful against America. 

But today the conditions are changed. Today the Iranians see that the Islamic regime of Iran is much more cruel and repressive than the previous regime. Now they hate the Islamic regime and the religion that they try to impose on Iran. Islam is a religion of hate and to survive it needs someone to hate. At first they directed their hate against the minorities like Baha’is and Jews in Iran. But these minorities are too small and people know that they are innocent. So they direct their hate at Israel and USA. “Death to America” is the favorite slogan that the supporters of the regime chant after their Friday prayer. They have drawn the flag of USA on the sidewalks so people are forced to walk on them and thus desecrate them. 

Today we have a new generation that knows nothing of the Shah and what USA did to Iran. They hate the Islamic regime of Iran and Islamic Regime hates USA. As the consequence America who is the enemy of my enemy has become my friend. Many Iranians refuse to walk on the American flag. The majority of them despise the stupid slogan “Death to America” that the Islamic regime is orchestrating religiously for the last 23 years. 

Iranians as a race are much more sentimental/emotional than e.g. the British. When on Sep 11 I was watching the WTC towers crumble I was in a coffee shop. There were a dozen of other people watching the sad news and we were all shocked. But I was the only one sobbing. I saw in the LA based Iranian TVs the reaction of the thousands of Iranians who marched in the streets in solidarity of the America. Most of them were sobbing. Many called these TV talk shows and they too were crying.  

The people of Iran are kind hearted, loving and forgiving. They want to be friends with America and the rest of the world. But America has always bypassed the people of Iran and has always undermined their interest and preferences. Our love relationship with America has always been one sided.

When after the attack of Sep 11President Bush announced his war against terrorism and all terrorist governments, we all hold our breath thinking the days of the terrorist regime of Iran are numbered. This regime has assassinated thousands of prominent Iranians inside and outside the country. They supported and financed many terrorist groups like Hizbullah of Lebanon and the Hamas. They are behind the bombing of Pan Am flight over Scotland that killed hundreds of Americans. The funding for many terrorist activities that has killed the Americans has come from the Islamic Regime of Iran (IRI). Yet despite all that, the Iranians were shocked to see that the Administration of President Bush is making deals with Mr. Khatami the smiling face of the bloody IRI and consulting with him on terrorism. The IRI is a terrorist regime. How USA can talk with a terrorist regime to solve its problems of terrorism? The USA is stabbing again the people of Iran in the back and is mocking the innocent American lives lost by the IRI terrorist activities. Remember this is the same regime that hold American Embassy workers hostage for 444 days. 

Recently Senator Feinstein introduced a bill to the US Senate to bar students from seven countries including those from Iran, from United States universities.
 
It is so ironic that while the representatives of the Islamic Regime of Iran (IRI), a recognized terrorist regime, are welcome to the UN in violation of the U.S. Anti Terrorism Act and the UN Resolution of September 12, the victims of this regime are barred from the United States universities.

Iranian students have been historically at the forefront of the struggle for freedom and democracy in Iran and thousands of them are currently in jail for opposing the terrorism of Islamic Regime.
 
The Islamic Regime of Iran is a terrorist regime and as such has been on the list of terrorist regimes of the State Department for so long. The IRI has been condemned seven times by the Federal District Court of Columbia for participation in terrorist acts against U.S. citizens.
 
The representatives of this regime including Mr. Khatami must be accountable for these terrorist acts based on the international human rights laws rather than being allowed to make a mockery of civilization and take part in the UN conference on dialogue of civilizations.
 
We urge you to show your will for fighting against terrorism by supporting the struggle of freedom loving Iranian people against the IRI system of terror. Please don’t deny the Iranian students, the victims of terrorism, from seeking education in the U.S. It is the terrorist regime of Iran that must be punished not the peace loving and wronged people of Iran. 

Please contact   mehr@mehr.org URL: http://mehr.org and offer your assistance to promote friendship between the people of Iran and the USA and help us defeat the terrorist regime that is killing us and fomenting antagonism between our nations. USA will find in Iranians strong allies and loyal friends if they support the pro democracy movement of the Iranians. Iranians do not want the Islamic terrorist regime ruling in Iran nor they want another shah. They want democracy. American people must demand from their lawmakers not to make secret deals with the enemies of democracy in Iran. Tell them please do not punish the people for the crimes committed by their illegitimate government. The Iranian people want to be friends with USA and the rest of the world. But to express their friendship they have to have a voice of their own and that is not possible under dictatorships that are often supported by USA and especially by UK that deliberately is seeking to derail the democratic movement of Iran and secretly has been dealing with the present terrorist regime even in the face of the ban imposed by USA. It seems that sweet oil deals for British and other European countries is worth more than the freedom of the people of Iran. This however is nothing but shortsightedness on their part. For a portion of every dollar that falls in the hands of the Islamic governments especially those known terrorists like the Islamic Regime of Iran goes to finance Islamic terrorism that eventually ends up killing those very Europeans and Americans. 

It is foolish to believe that by appeasing Muslims you win their friendship. Muslims will never be friends to unbelievers for Muhammad said: 


 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.
Q.5:51

"O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love Infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong".   Q.9: 23

And

"Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah. except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (to fear) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah." Q.3: 28

For Muslims all land that are not under the Islamic rule are Dar al Harb (land of war). Their duty is to infiltrate into those countries, proselytize and seduce people with lies until their number grow. Then they will start Jihad and try to convert those countries into Dar al Islam (Land of Islam) by terrorism, war and force. 

Did you know that  Sheikh Raid Sallah, the head of the Islamic movement in Israel, called on President Bush to convert to Islam and thus solve all problems connected with the dramatic terrorist attacks on the United States?

At a rally in the Arab town of Tamra, he reiterated his call Oct. 26: "Oh, peoples of the West ... we say to you: We are the masters of the world and we are the repository of all good (in the world), because we are the 'the best people, delivered for mankind' (Q.3:111 ). We do not hesitate. Oh Bush and (British Prime Minister Tony) Blair: We invite you to Islam; enter Islam, you and your peoples."

 Can't you see the underlying message? The underlying message is: We have started our Jihad against you infidels and will not rest until we convert the West to Dar al Islam. 

Kind Regards

Dear Ali,

Thank you for printing my letter at your site and for responding...I was going to write to Sen. Fienstein, but when I clicked on her e-mail it didn't work, so then I didn't...partly because I'm not sure what to say to her yet.

I hope that your site continues to grow, I will check it often.

You certainly are a "writer" and I think that in all countries "writers" have it tough and they surely don't get elected! I think that many of the things we are going through today with Islam is why Khalil Gibran was so adamant that his book be entitled "The Prophet." Like you, I sensed that he wished to use his God-given inspiration to influence the world.

So, presently, not only do I like your site because it exposes  Mohammed as a false prophet, but it also fosters peace and understanding amongst the peoples of countries other than their own, and can be used as a forum for what you term "freethinkers".

It seems that most of the people "in charge" of the world are not the "thinkers" of the world. There is such a thing as "giftedness" and there is such a thing as "emotional giftedness." Your site can bring the "emotionally gifted" peoples of the world together. Some people are "gifted" scientists, "gifted" entrepreneurs, and etc. but us "emotionally gifted" people have it the toughest because there is no pay usually in our time spent thinking about how to fix all the wrongs in our environments.

Therefore, although presently (on November 18, 2001, at 5:40 a.m.) I am leery of writing to the Senator about taking Iran off the list and allowing students into our country, that's not to say that I will feel differently next week or in two months and then write the letter...I'm still fearful that men like Mohammed Atta will gain access and come here to destroy me, so I'm thankful for my government's watchful eye. Anybody like you, whose thoughts I gather, I feel I can trust and have no problem with, (I can sense your Spirit), already, I know that I would rather have you here in U.S. than some of the people whose families have been here for generations, but how can our government know who is Mohammed Atta and who is Ali? This is where the problem lies, so we will have to think of a way/solution.

Hopefully, the internet will connect people who can share the "deep thoughts" of many hearts around the Globe and that way we can rely on each other rather than on our Governments. I have already enjoyed your site more than listening to "Tony Blair," you have not held truth back from me as he has, so therefore, when you tell me that the U.K. is problematic in supporting the Islamic regime in Iran, and in the end, terrorism, I tend to believe you more than him. I would like to write back and have posted at your site something like [WOW, thank you for telling me what the story was, when I watched Tony Blair on TV, he told me that Islam was a peaceful religion and I heard that he even told others that he himself tended to take the Koran with him often and read from it, that it gave him peace. I never realized before how much the U.K. supported Islamic regimes both financially and mentally, thanks for getting the truth out...I have been feeling bad lately because I, myself, try to follow my religion fundamentally and fundamentalists are getting a bad name these days. I feel like, "wow, just because I am as close to my religion as Mohammed Atta was to his, am I radical, therefore looked upon as bad?" Why follow a religion if you don't strive to follow it correctly? Have been confused lately.]

I can understand governments wanting to make "sweet oil deals" but I hope that our leaders will find/search for better ways to "make the deal."

In closing, I would love to say that I am glad that you're in my world community, thank you for searching for Truth. My religion teaches me that "anyone who is not against me, is for me." Thank you. Mohammed Atta gave me a hard blow to the ground, but you are helping to pick me back up. God Bless the Arabic Peoples of the World. I have always been fascinated with and have held love for Arabic people, Muslim and Non-Muslim alike, but thank you for protecting me from my Arabic "brothers" who wish me harm...

Dear Caroline 

First of all let me thank you for your kind words and undeserved compliments. Of course I do enjoy the undeserved compliments. Those are the only kinds that I get. ;-)  

As much as it hurts me to see Iranians who are being oppressed in their own country be discriminated and barred from entering the USA I do understand your reluctance to write to Senator Feinstein and ask her to exclude Iran from the list. Iranians under the influence of Islam have done terrible things. Iranian Islamists are just as terrorists as the Palestinian or Saudi Terrorists. Islam is a religion of terror and it is wise to be prudent. 

But Iranians are awakening. They are leaving Islam by millions. Just go to any Iranian forum on the net and you'll see that most of them hate Islam. In a census made in Holland among Iranians 50% of them called themselves atheists/agnostic 40% said they are Muslims but do not practice Islam. Only 10% of them claimed to be practicing Muslims. This data does not include the Jewish, Christian, Baha'i or Zoroastrian Iranians. Many Iranians have embraced Zoroastrianism and Christianly lately. So I can say with assurance that Iran would be the first country to get rid of Islam. 

But the burden of proof is on us. We Iranians have to demonstrate that we have recovered from this disease called Islam. Karl Marx compared religion to drug. For 1400 years Iranians were under the influence of this deadly narcotic. This drug destroyed our culture, robbed us  of our humanity and made us look like terrorists. It is up to us to demonstrate that we have recovered. 

Did you know that the first Charter of Human Rights was written by Cyrus, an Iranian King, 2500 yeas ago? Did you know that 2500 yeas ago many nations like the Jews sought refuge in Iran and many Greek scholars found Iran to be a safe haven? Look what has happened to us! Iran that one day was the cradle of civilization is now a third world county. Iran that one day was the haven for refugees is now a prison for her own children and Iranians are seeking refuge throughout the world. This is all the gift of Islam that was imposed on us by sword. 

Watch out the Islamists in your country for now they have set their eyes on your land and they want your freedom. They want you to submit to their bloodthirsty deity and covert into their cult. 

In the words of Ibn Warraq, "Respect for other cultures, for other values than our own, is a hallmark of a civilized society.  But Multiculturalism is based on some fundamental misconceptions. First, there is the erroneous and sentimental belief that all cultures, deep down, have the same values; or, at least, if different, are equally worthy of respect.  But the truth is that not all cultures have the same values, and not all values are worthy of respect. There is nothing sacrosanct about customs or cultural traditions: they can change under criticism. After all, the secularist values of the West are not much more than two hundred years old.

 If these other values are destructive of our own cherished values, are we not justified in fighting them both by intellectual means, that is by reason and argument, and criticism, and by legal means, by making sure the laws and constitution of the country are respected by all?  It becomes a duty to defend those values that we would live by. But here western intellectuals have sadly failed in defending western values, such as rationalism, social pluralism, human rights, the rule of law, representative government, individualism (in the sense that every individual counts, and no individual should be sacrificed for some utopian future collective end), freedom of expression, freedom of and from religion, the rights of minorities, and so on.."

As you see the Islamic values are completely distinct from ours. See how the Sheikh Raid Sallah, was emboldened after few of his coreligionists murdered 6300 innocent people in the most heinous act of terrorism in sep 11 tragedy to call upon the President Bush and the Prime Minister Blair and their people to convert to Islam!  

This kind of boldness baffles those who are not familiar with Islamic values. but those of us who know better know that Muslims believe that their murders are the victories given to them by Allah and the more they kill the more their faith in Allah is strengthened as they see in these bloodsheds a clear sign that Allah is on their side. Islam is a very primitive cult with a very primitive mindset. Take a close look at this verse: 

So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.  Q.8:17

See how the Prophet "credited" God for his own murders! So a Muslim who kills in the name of Allah, honestly believes this was the act of God and he was a mere instrument fulfilling the will of God. Other Muslims do not condemn him for his crimes either  (Though they may pay lip service to the westerners to appease them). They praise Allah for being so powerful in subduing his enemies. What you call a terrorist attack to a Muslim is a holy act of Jihad. This idiosyncrasy is inconceivable for those who are not familiar with Islam. 

Perhaps the best representation of how Muslims really think can be found in the writing of a Muslim himself see this comment  and I quote a paragraph of it

Moslems are increasing everyday, Moslems are migrating to west more and more, people in the west are diminishing in number, their reproduction is very low but Moslems are not, Septempter 11 pushed the whole world to know about Islam, many are asking and many are turning Moslems .."which by the way is an emphasis to truth words narrated by our prophet

As you can see, this writer is jubilant about the tragedy of Sep 11. To him that was the turning point for the rise of Islam. He is counting on the increase of the number of Muslims in the West by immigration and their unproportionate rate of procreation. May be this writer is not so sophisticated in the art of deceit that Muslims so excel. But he is revealing with honesty what all Muslims think.  

I feel it is incumbent upon the freedom lovers of the West to defend their hard earned freedom and do not take it for granted. By allowing Islam to grow unchecked, whether through immigration or by proselytism we are losing our freedom gradually but surely. 

Unlike people of other cultures, Islamists do not integrate with others. They will never pay allegiance to the  "infidels" whom they call najis (filthy) Q.9:28,. They proselytize by hypes and lies. The objective is to make Islam a universal religion. And to this end all means whether licit or illicit are permissible, even assassinations. The Prophet himself plotted assassinations to promote his cause.   

Another mistake of the West is allowing the Islamic Mosques to proliferate and Islamic proselytism flourish. Remember that to convert a Muslim into Christianity in any Islamic country is a crime punishable by death. When the Talibans imprisoned the Christian missionaries they were acting according to what Islam orders. So why are we letting Muslims to promote their hate laden cult amongst our kids and turning them into our enemies? Please read this article about a five generation American young man who wants to make Jihad against America because he is now a Muslim. Muslims expend millions of dollars to inseminate their cult in the West and seduce your kids. Who is stopping them? Who is telling the truth? Who is warning our kids from the wolves in the sheep's clothing? All the media, our politicians and even our so called scholars are bending backward to defend Islam and lie to people that "Islam is a religion of peace". Who is going to tell the truth? 

The disaster of Sep 11 was just a warning. Bigger catastrophes are awaiting us. Muslims will stop at nothing to impose their religion on us. They want us to submit to their Allah and bow in the direction of Mecca 5 times a day. For this they are ready, willing and able to kill millions of us. 

Who is going to stop them? Who is going to expose their lies? 

Regards

Hello again,

After seeing my letter printed at your site, I just wanted to write one last time and apologize to Tony Blair this could just be a rumor that he reads the Koran for peace as I read that at an "Islamic" site, and I don't want to be responsible for spreading rumors! I just hope that someone "listens," and tries to work with individuals in foreign countries instead of their "governments" as this is probably happening everyday anyway with people who "do not wish to try to love others as they love themselves," nor do they seek "truth."

I do not wish to "hate on" Muslims, either. It's just that I, myself, bought a Koran and it surely didn't give me any peace. Particularly, the verse that says "Muhammad is the Messenger of God, and those who are with him are hard against the unbelievers, merciful one to another. (XLVIII Verse 25, Chapter VICTORY). Since I am considered an "unbeliever" to Muslims can you blame me for feeling that Muslims are "against" me?

It just doesn't make sense, how can you call someone like Mohammed Atta a fanatic when he was only following his religion? I am just really confused right now because television keeps telling me "it's a religion of peace," and everything rational tells me otherwise.

Anyway, Ali, all I can say to you is that I'm sorry that you had/have to live with "Islamic regimes." I pray that my government tries to protect you as you have tried to protect me. I do not wish to "follow" man, only my God, the God of Abraham, so I must say that I dislike your site in some ways because it dismisses religion, but I can understand that it's necessary, especially for freedom in Iran. Allah's "elect" (currently Muslim/Non-Muslim/Athiest or whatever) cannot be fooled. We search for "God" and in so doing, we find "truth."

I have decided to write to the Senator and ask her to work with people like you who are struggling to bring peace to the world, maybe you can work something out together as to where students are given background checks? I don't know, but I do feel for the students there for it is only they who can lead themselves out of their oppression, yet they are currently in need of help.

Here are some pretty words for everyone in Iran, even though you may find them "irrational" and "supernatural"--

Brothers and Sisters, together we'll make it through, someday a Spirit will guide us and take us there, and I'll be there, just helping you out whenever I can, cuz everybody's free.....to feel good. These are not my words, they were written by I don't know who...but pass them on. We all need to "catch the Spirit of Freedom."

Caroline
