Maryam Rajavi : Expel the IRGC from the region, and the clerical regime from the OIC

Maryam Rajavi and a number of prominent personalities from Arab countries and the Muslim community in France took part in a gathering in Auvers-sur-Oise on the occasion of the Holy month of Ramadan. The meeting was entitled, “Interfaith Solidarity Against Extremism.”
In her remarks to this gathering, Maryam Rajavi said:
Ramadan is the month of bonding of hearts, friendship, solidarity and peace.
Unfortunately, however, in the present circumstances, there is no blame on us if we shed tears for the dissociation and agony among our countries and nations, for Syria, Iraq and Yemen and other countries where our Muslim sisters and brothers are living in exasperating conditions.
For this reason and with your permission I would like to call on all Muslim nations to unite in solidarity. This is a call based on a solid foundation acceptable to most Muslims.
Ideologically, this foundation is to deny religious compulsion and compulsory religion. Or in the words of the Quran: La Ikraha feddin (There is no compulsion in religion).
Politically, it is to stand up to the religious tyranny ruling Iran, who is the common enemy of all the countries in the Middle East.
In our times, religious compulsion and compulsory religion began with Khomeini seizing power. It has become a tool for pushing back opponents and for imposing a despotic rule.
On this basis, we say that the dispute is not between Shiites and Sunnis, nor between Christians and Muslims. Indeed, there is no war among civilizations. The main confrontation is between despotism and fundamentalism on the one hand and democracy and freedom on the other.
Rejection of all forms of compulsion in religion also opens the way for the principle of separation of religion and state and leaves no room for tyranny and religious discrimination under the name of God.
Yes, we can unite on a fundamental principle which makes up the sinew of Islam and that is the rejection of religious compulsion, namely the principle of La Ikraha Feddin.
The spirit of Islam abhors all forms of compulsion, coercion and forcible prohibition, ranging from imposing the compulsory veil to the forced observation of fasting and prayers by flogging and terror, to preventing the construction of Sunni mosques, and especially imposing the rule of a government under the name of God and Islam.
The Iranian regime’s animosity to peace and tranquility in the Middle East has been steady for the past three decades because export of terrorism and fundamentalism are indispensable to the regime’s strategy for survival.
Now that the international community concurs on the origin of terrorism and fundamentalism in the region, namely the Velayat-e Faqih regime in Tehran, I would like to propose a three-pronged initiative on behalf of the Iranian people and Resistance. And I urge all countries in the region to support it.
First, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) must be officially declared as a terrorist entity. The IRGC and all of its proxy militias must be evicted from countries in the region.
Second, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) must expel the Iranian regime from this organization and grant the seat of Iran to the Iranian people’s Resistance.
Third, they should recognize the Iranian people’s struggle to bring down the clerical regime and establish freedom and democracy.

“I am proud to take part in this meeting on behalf of the Solidarity Committee In Defense of Ashraf Residents. Now that our brothers are in Albania, does this mean this is the end of this committee’s work? No. Naturally, our main priority was to save their lives, and relocate them from the prison they were in. However, our brothers have become the symbols of a just cause, and as Mrs. Rajavi has said time and again, after allocating years of defending the movement and delisting it from the terrorist lists, now is the time to go on the offensive,” said former Algerian prime minister Sid Ahmed Ghozali.

we are all familiar with the role the Mullahs’ regime is playing, both independently and in collaboration with ISIS, to destroy the region. This dirty role has torn the region apart and spread destruction, murder, and displacement all over it.”
“So, we need to step up our efforts in order to stand against the Iranian regime’s sponsoring of evil all over the world”, said Al-Haj, adding “ what needs to be considered is that we all stand by true representatives of Iranian people, namely Iran National Council of Resistance and the PMOI. So, greetings to their prisoners held in Iran’s prisons, and, prior to that, greetings to their martyrs. Their movement has offered 120 thousand martyrs for freedom and human rights, demanding that Iranian people’s rights and dignity be realized.”

Maryam Rajavi met with President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas Saturday evening,
July 30, 2016, and discussed the crises in the region.

President Mahmoud Abbas reiterated the need to combat fundamentalism and terrorism in the region and informed Maryam Rajavi of the latest developments in the Middle East, in particular with regard to Palestine and France's initiative.

Maryam Rajavi expressed gratitude for the solidarity of the Palestinian movement and its leader with the Iranian people and Resistance. She congratulated the Palestinian government on its victories and expressed hope that the goal of the Palestinian people would be achieved. She reiterated that the Iranian regime is the main instigator of sectarian discord, fundamentalism and terrorism in the entire region, in particular in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Palestine, but she added that today the mullahs' regime is in its weakest and most fragile and vulnerable state. This reality can be seen clearly in the hysteric reaction of the regime's officials and state media to the Iranian Resistance's July 9 gathering.

Maryam Rajavi speaks in Women's Role in War against Fundamentalism conference Conference in the European Parliament

Extremism under the banner of Islam is a fatal epidemic expanding throughout the world because it has not been confronted.

To defeat this epidemic, a comprehensive approach is vital. 

Since the 1990s we have been warning that Islamic fundamentalism is the new global threat. 

Today, there is a real concern about Daesh, but it should be noted that its expansion is a product of two developments in the region: 

1. The Iranian regime's occupation of Iraq after the war in 2003 and the brutal crackdown on Sunnis by the mullahs' puppet government in Iraq. 

2. Suppression of Syrian people and dissidents by Bashar Assad's government, backed and led by the mullahs' regime. 

3. Therefore, if it was not for the Iranian regime's domination over Iraq and Syria,if the Sunnis were not suppressed in Iraq,if Bashar Assad's dictatorship did not exist, Daesh would not have emerged as a threat. 

With the inception of the mullahs' rule in 1979, a concrete, practical model was created for all fundamentalist groups. 

The history of the past 37 years proves that no other factor has been as effective as a ruling government acting as a role-model for the expansion of fundamentalist groups. 

Particularly that the mullahs actively try to create these groups and guide them ideologically. 

They also finance and provide arms for these groups. 

The Hezbollah of Lebanon was made and backed by the mullahs.

The Ansarallah of Yemen is supported by the mullahs.

Several other militia groups in Iraq are affiliated with the Quds Force. 

The African fundamentalists receive their arms from Iran. 

Unfortunately, Western governments' silence and appeasement of the Iranian regime have emboldened other fundamentalist groups to follow in the mullahs' footsteps

Iran-full report on,ParisRally,no to Rouhani28 January 2016

Thousands protest Iranian president Hassan Rouhanis visit to France

Manifestation pour les droits de l'Homme en Iran, à Paris

Welcoming Rouhani emboldens the regime's most suppressive factions in stepping up executions and further warmongering in the region

Regarding the trip by Hassan Rouhani, the President of the clerical regime, to Italy and France, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, said:
As a mullah, Rouhani is a defender of the ruling theocracy and has sworn allegiance to the velayat-e faqih (absolute rule of the supreme leader). Rouhani has been among the most senior officials of the religious fascism ruling Iran throughout the past 37 years and has been involved in all its atrocities. He should face justice for crimes against humanity.

His claim to moderation is a big lie meant to attract the West’s assistance in pursuing his mandate to save the crisis-riddled regime, which the overwhelming majority of Iranians seek to overthrow. Yet, he is uninterested and incapable of distancing himself, in practice or in words, from the wave of executions in Iran and Bashar al-Assad's massacre of the Syrian people. That explains why he has expressed unequivocal and explicit support for executions and for Bashar al-Assad.

This reality can be noticed from his record as president, which includes some 2200 executions (the highest number in the past 25 years), all out support for the Assad dictatorship and the slaughter of the Syrian people, the missile attack against Camp Liberty residents, and the official order for the expansion of the ballistic missile program of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), which is tantamount to proliferation of WMD.
During his tenure, suppression and executions of Sunni Muslims and Christians have been stepped up, and in spite of all his promises Iran’s economic situation has deteriorated since he has committed himself to pay for the expenditure of the wars of the IRGC and the regime’s para-military forces in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq.

His record proves the baseless and absurd nature of the myth of “moderation” in the clerical regime.
Rolling out the red carpet for Rouhani by European governments is to welcome the godfather of terrorism and fundamentalism, to strengthen the regime as a whole and its most repressive factions, and is to the detriment of human rights in Iran.
Welcoming Rouhani will only embolden this regime in the torture and execution of the Iranian people, further warmongering in the region, especially in Syria, and export of Islamic extremism and terrorism.
Relations with the Iranian regime should be contingent upon a halt to executions and an improvement of human rights in Iran. This is the will of the Iranian people and an imperative for peace and fighting terrorism in the region and the world.

Iran-Interim session of the National Council of Resistance of Iran23 December 2015

The interim session of the National Council of Resistance of Iran was held on December 19 and 20 in the presence of the NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi.

Maryam Rajavi opened the meeting by paying tribute to the memories of departed NCRI members Mansour Ghadarkhah, artist, and Hossein Abrishamchi, a National Liberation Army commander slain in the latest rocket attack on Camp Liberty.
She noted: This session is held at a time when major conflicts and developments in Iran, the region and the world,

bespeak of the dawn of a new era and a new phase in the international confrontation with terrorism and fundamentalism under the name of Islam with the religious dictatorship in Iran as its epicenter.

The two-day agenda of the interim session of the National Council of Resistance of Iran included in-depth discussions on rapid developments on the international level after the terrorist attacks by DAESH in Paris on November 13, 2015; regional developments and the heavy setbacks dealt to Khamenei's interventionist policy in the region particularly in Syria and Yemen; the consequences of JCPOA, the latest report by IAEA Director General and the resolution adopted by IAEA Governing Council; the Iranian regime’s acute economic crises coupled with a plunge in the price of oil; social and political protests across the country; as well as the regime’s election crisis and its aggravating internal conflicts.
On behalf of the Iranian people, the NCRI session also strongly condemned the Iranian regime's alliance with the terrorist crimes of DAESH in Paris as well as Khamenei's complicity with Bashar Assad in the murder of 300,000 people of Syria and displacement of millions of others, describing them as the main cause for the inception and expansion of DAESH.
The NCRI session welcomed the recent formation of an anti-terrorist coalition of Islamic countries led by Saudi Arabia also supported by the Al-Az'har society which is the supreme religious authority for Sunni Muslims, and Mrs. Rajavi extended her congratulations on the formation of this coalition.
Other discussions in the session included the P5+1 nuclear agreement with the Iranian regime, the depth and scale of the regime’s irremediable economic crisis, the regime's factional feuding over the upcoming election sham for the mullahs’ parliament and Assembly of Experts, continuation and expansion of social protests by various businesses and syndicates, especially the struggle of families of political prisoners against torture, death sentences and mistreatment as well as the heroic resistance put up in the depths of prisons and the apical resistance and steadfastness of freedom fighters in Camp Liberty.
