The men who have carried out al-Qaeda-style attacks in Europe all grew up irreligious. It’s not about Islam as a religion, but as a community.
The Western world’s leaders announced last year that Islamic State “must be destroyed” (US President Barack Obama), a goal to which “the entire world is committed” (French President Francois Hollande). One strand of that work involves bombing Syria and Iraq, where the group is based. Another strand is policing Muslims at home. In both areas, the
Attempts by Israel and American GOP and also the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) to push the West towards more hostility against Islamic Republic have so far failed. However, measures of the efforts were not clear to the world until the recent news was published on the bribes given to US republicans by the Israeli state.
The historic nuclear agreement with Iran, labeled the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, was negotiated for months and finally signed by Iran and the US, UK, Russia
A professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Monash in Australia says the root cause of violence and terrorism is not religious, but political and that the unsolved problems in the Middle East.
“The US behaviour of double standard policy in the Middle East is part of the problem not the solution,” wrote professor Sayed Khatab in a paper presented last summer in the 2nd International Congress of Iranian Terror Victims. What comes below is professor Khatab’s
Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science, National University of Singapore says the US has always used terrorist groups against “anyone who is viewed as an opponent, be it a State or non-State actor.”
Professor Bilveer Singh made the comments in his paper, The US, the threat of terrorism in southeast Asia – Lessons for Iran’s national security policy, delivered to and selected as one of three best foreign papers in the Second International Congress of 17000 Iranian Terror
Emma Ashford points out some of the dangers of making policy with the guidance of self-interested exiles:
Policymakers in Washington are not blameless in this. A recent invitation by Congress to the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), an Iranian opposition group, to testify before the House Subcommittee on Terrorism on issues relating to Iran and ISIS highlights how little scrutiny such groups sometimes face. Though certainly a vocal opponent of the regime in Tehran, MEK was only removed by the State
After 14 years of War on Terror the West is great at fomenting barbarism and creating failed states.
For the last several years, people around the world have asked, "Where did ISIS come from?" Explanations vary, but largely focus on geopolitical (U.S. hegemony), religious (Sunni-Shia), ideological (Wahhabism) or ecological (climate refugees) origins. Many commentators and even former military officials correctly suggest that the war in Iraq is primarily responsible for unleashing the forces
Saudi Arabia's announcement that it will create a Muslim-nation coalition against terrorism was greeted with faint praise and loud skepticism, and with reason. It turns out that Pakistan had no idea it was part of the alliance, and Afghanistan and Indonesia are only contemplating joining. No Shiite-majority states have been invited. And even by standards of international diplomacy, the Saudi statement was vague: It said nothing about what the partners would do, or whether any military action
At the same time as thousands of small and medium-sized Italian companies are about to sign trade agreements with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Imam Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Iranian state, is launching a decisive and merciless struggle against terrorism of Daesh, the Italian government, irresponsibly (but intentionally), continues to grant full political freedom to the clearly anti-Shia and anti-Iranian Organization Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and its related acronyms. A serious choice
Hosting the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council member states and leaders of Syrian terrorist groups, the Saudi Arabia organized a multilateral propaganda maneuver. On the one hand, the Saudis tried to represent Iran as the occupier of the three islands: Abu Musa, the Greater & Lesser Tunb Islands). On the other hand, they represented themselves as the savior of people of Syria, Yemen and all the other Arab countries.
The GCC leaders issued a statement in the summit in Riyadh calling for the
When it comes to terrorising people, the US beats the Islamic Republic, hands down.
"One should have a single, not a double, standard."
These were the (translated) words of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, speaking at a conference I recently attended in Tehran. His observation was in reference to the habit of the United States & Co of decrying terrorism but then applauding terroristic behaviour when it serves their interests.
US mastery of the double standard means that, for example

Introduction:
Nowadays Terrorism is a specially word that is a subject for most of news in mass media. One of the most important aspects of terrorism is definition of this word. Terrorism is a word with this capacity that everyone can interpret it in according to his/her benefits.
For example US army attacks to civilians of Pakestan and claims that they fight against terrorism. In other word, USA terrors civilians to fight against terrorism. This
When we talk about so-called Islamic extremism and terrorists waging jihad, it's easy to forget one thing: Its victims tend to be Muslim.
Here's what we know, based on numbers compiled by the Institute for Economics and Peace. In 2014, five countries accounted for nearly 80 percent of terrorism-related deaths: Iraq, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria. These countries all have major Muslim populations.
In Nigeria, Islamist militant group Boko Haram has targeted mosques it believes are
No free man would ever enjoy killing other human beings. Killing innocent people is condemned. So, in this very beginning of speech, terrorist acts in Paris are condemned. People of Paris and the families of the victims should be sympathized and consoled. This is our first word.
But is this the first time that a terrorist group is killing innocent people in bombing or suicide acts? So why has the Paris event become so shocking? In the first hours and days after the event, almost no president
The Islamic State (IS), also known as the ISIS and ISIL, has taken responsibility for the horrendous terrorist attacks on Paris that murdered 129 innocent people and injured hundreds more. The criminal act has been rightly condemned by world’s leader, ranging from President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron, to President Hassan Rouhani of Iran and even Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah. The attacks have rightly outraged ordinary people everywhere. There is a
Following the deadly attack on Temporary Transit Location (TTL/Camp Liberty) and the death of at least 23 residents of the Camp, Maryam Rajavi the leader of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) said: “We had warned against such attacks...”!
Considering that several of such attacks had previously shaken the MKO Camps in Iraq, Maryam Rajavi’s warning to the United States and the United Nations seems pointless. Both the US and UN have been committed to relocate the residents of the
You would think that individuals claiming to be “Islamic Marxists” -- former members of an illegal Zionist terrorist organization -- and Republican elected officials would generally not associate with each other. However, once a year for the last decade or so, they all gather together in front of the United Nations during its General Assembly to display their insanity to the world by calling for greater hostility between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Already on September
The controversial leader of an Iranian dissidents group was called to Capitol Hill to lend her expertise about the Islamic State lawmakers. Her testimony Wednesday showed she was only interested in talking about Iran.
Maryam Rajavi, leader of the Iranian dissidents organization Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), a group that until 2012 was list on the State Department’s terror list, insisted Tehran was the root of the Islamic State’s power. In prepared testimony, she mentioned Iran 135 times. By
Last week, the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade announced that a controversial Iranian exile opposition figure would be testifying via video uplink at a hearing on the Islamic State, known as ISIS. What does the witness, Maryam Rajavi, a co-leader of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), have to say about the subject at hand?
Rajavi’s written testimony, a copy of which was obtained by The Nation, focuses on an unexpected way of bringing ISIS to heel: by
Iran’s most notorious dissident group loves luring gullible U.S. officials and journalists into seeing a bomb factory beneath every building in Tehran. Dig a little deeper, sheeple.
On Tuesday, Feb. 24, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the political front for the “cult-like dissident group” known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), revealed the location of what it claimed was an underground centrifuge facility in the suburbs of Tehran. The announcement was, evidently, intended
