I dedicate this to all those freedom-loving, peaceful, righteous
and pious patriots,
Would they deem to allow the deceived guests of this assembly visit
a religious leader, such as yours truly, who has been falsely accused and
imprisoned for speaking out against these deceptive claimants of faith? Never!
Traitors are always nervous and cowardly.
I, who have been a prisoner of these so-called religious
authorities for the last seven years, appeal to all those who uphold their
civility and integrity to assist me in informing the world at large, via the
international media and policymakers, that these gatherings and conferences are
nothing but a mockery and a sham. Please report that this humble preacher, who
is under torture, is reaching out to all those religious leaders and spiritual
standard-bearers that in this part of the world, it is the wolves who are
disguised in human form, rule the roost, destroying all the faith and love that
the average person has for God. They have done their utmost in desecrating any
trust in the Almighty and have shut down any will for independent inquiry and
soul searching. Soon, any public unity will be wiped out and the product of
this Islamic Revolution will be proven to have been nothing more than
privation, desperation and downright chaos which will have been wrought on the
children of Iran.
Our country faces daily deterioration, bankruptcy, social rupture
and every possible ruin imaginable and this feigned slogan of ‘Islamic
Awakening’ is yet again, nothing more than a calculated and orchestrated
conspiracy to meddle in the affairs of peoples of other countries and the
influencing of foreign minds, for the sole purpose of exporting their
fabricated revolution.
They have spent the Iranian people’s vast national wealth for
antagonizing and confronting countries in the region; they have squandered
monies that belongs to the deserving Iranian in order to guarantee the
longevity of the bloodthirsty Bashar al-Asad, Hassan Nasrollah, Moqtada al-Sadr
and various other of their hideous puppet-cum-allies.
How then, can their claims to care so much for the protection of
the people of Bahrain be taken seriously, when in this very country, people
have no right to complain and voice their dissatisfactions? And when the
average person who expresses any concern is attacked by a dragoon of regime
thugs who break into peoples houses at all hours of the day and night, to
suffocate those voices? They have crammed the prisons with innocent people and
packed the graveyards with the bodies of those who were brave enough to speak
out about the simple issues of deprivation and injustice. We have no right to
free speech, no right to free thought, no right to elect any representatives
that has not been picked for us by the ruling elite and so on.
Is it fitting then, that this masquerade, in the name of
‘protecting humanity’, continue while our own people, the persecuted Iranians
who cry out under the pressure of tyranny, are willfully ignored? Where and to
whom do we present these cases? To the United Nations? Policymakers around the
world? Who will listen to us, the champions of freedom and the opponents of
political Islam?
This child of God has spent his time as a prisoner simply because I
have challenged this regime’s indignant meddling of religion in politics. Does
such a belief deserve the torture that myself, my family and supporters have
had to endure?
Nonetheless, I offer thanks to my creator and to his glory.
