How Iranian Textbooks Prepare School Children for Global Jihad and Martyrdom
by Ghazal Omid - 2/19/2007
Ghazal Omid was invited by honorable MP Louise Ellman to speak on the research found by Dr Arnon Groiss, co-author “Iran’s War Curriculum” & Dr Yohanan Manor, Chairman of CMIP.
Below is her speech:
My lords, Honorable Members of parliament Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to be at the House of Commons.
I am an Iranian, a practicing Muslim woman, who sees it as her responsibility to stand up to hard core Muslims who use Islam to brainwash children of that faith, in particular the Iranian children, who the Iranian government is turning into ticking bombs.
After all I have gone through, some in the audience might ask, why do I put myself in danger again? I made it out alive. I have a successful life outside Iran. Why would I want to be here?
My answer is best summed up by the Edmond Burke quotation, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.”
I teach people that if they have something to say, it shouldn't be just a desire but a human duty and responsibility to help others. If we can change the text books, if we can teach the children of Iran and the Middle East that hate is not inherited; it is taught. If they can understand that children everywhere are innocent and if they can learn, as I often say, that “Governments do and People pay”, we will save generations of our human family from the hard core fundamentalists who are turning them into human bombs.
