More evidence that the Mousavi “Revolution” isn’t what others make it out to be …
In this “manifesto” … we see exactly what Mousavi’s motivation is.
Thirty years ago a revolution succeeded in our country in the name of Islam; a revolution for freedom, a revolution for the rekindling of the compassion of human beings, a revolution for truth and honesty. During this period, and especially during the life of our perspicacious Imam.
Of course – the Revolution that he is speaking so fondly of is the 1979 Islamic Revolution – which was wholly catalyzed by the movement’s strong anti-Americanism due to United States support of the Shah of Iran and our part in the 1953 coup that brought him to power. The “Imam” that Mousavi speaks of so lovingly is none other than Khomeini.
Now, let’s remember here – that even though the U.S. and Britain were principle “instigators” of the 1953 coup … the Muslim Clerics pretty much supported the overthrow of Mousaddeq because of his alliances with the Tudeh – the Iranian Communist Party – which the clerics saw as a bunch of Godless Infidels.
There has always been much indignation from the clerics concerning the 1953 coup – but the fact is they supported that coup and supported the Shah until 1963 when he announced that, as a part of his “White Revolution” – he would seek suffrage for women. That is when the split between the Shah and the clerics occurred and that is when this “wonderful” Ayatollah Khomeini (which Mousavi still speaks so lovingly of) – declared that the Shah had “Declared War on Islam” – by suggesting women should be allowed to vote. This is the heritage and history that Mousavi is embracing here.
An illumination, never experienced before, encompassed our society and people arrived at a new life that was sweet for them, in spite of most difficult hardships. I am confident that people who have seen those days will not consent to anything less.
This is the “compassionate” Mousavi – remembering the early years of the Islamic Republic – a time when he was the prime minister under Khomeini. A time when he and Khomeini hunted down and assasinated 144 enemies of the Islamic Republic in nations OUTSIDE of Iran. A time when he and Khomeini bombed the barracks in Beirut and killed 241 of AMERICAN MARINES. A time when Mousavi himself oversaw the elimination of 30,000 domestic political enemies of the Islamic Republic. These are the days that Mousavi wants to return to.
Such a fate will make two groups happy; one group being those who arrayed their troops against the Imam [Khomeini] from the beginning of the Revolution and assumed that the Islamic government is the same as Tyranny of the Rightful and, in their false surmise, want to bring people to Heaven by force, and the other group being those who, by claiming to defend the rights of the people, basically consider religion and Islam to be blockers for realization of republicanism.
Here is Mousavi stating clearly that he’s not on the side of any “Republican” who believes in separation of church and state. In fact – he holds them in high disregard. This is Mousavi showing his ignorance – because – in fact, Islam IS a “blocker” to republicanism. I’m not even sure Mousavi knows what “republicanism” is.
In the rest of this manifesto … Mousavi quotes Khomeini several times.
The ONLY thing this “manifesto” says – is basically this …
THE 1979 ISLAMIC REVOLUTION HAS BEEN STOLEN BY THOSE WHO REALLY DON’T CARE FOR ISLAM ANYMORE – WE NEED TO PUT IT BACK ON COURSE AND ENSURE THAT ISLAM IS THE FOREFRONT OF OUR PRINCIPLES.
The Mousavi Revolution is nothing more than a “reprise” of 1979. If my fellow Conservatives want to endorse that “revolution” as something “democratic” and “special” – if my fellow Conservatives want to compare this to our own amazing revolution in 1776. Go ahead. It’s foolish to do so though.
