Iran: It’s Time for a Progressive Revolution
by Amil Imani

The thuggish revolution in Iran, better known as the Islamic Revolution of Iran, was anything but a progressive movement. This was a conscious assault on the 2500 year old Persian Empire and the progressive Iranian people in the twentieth century. This untimely revolution outrageously installed the most oppressive theocratic Islamic system known to the history of mankind. With that, it renewed an era of Islamic terrorism and the revival of its never-ending passion for world domination.

The father of the Islamic coup d’etat in Iran is also considered one of the twentieth century’s founders of Islamic terrorism—the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Khomeini was an extremely brutal man instilled from his upbringing with Islamic superstitions and prejudices, but otherwise possessing little education. Claiming to be descended from Muhammad, Khomeini was steeped in anti-secularist, Islamist supremacist thought that is often bred in Islamic seminaries.

As his religious beliefs inevitably mixed with political and social doctrine, he became a part of Iran’s rapid descent from a nation re-emerging as a free and prosperous country to an Islamic theocracy. His role became increasingly one of justifying and urging Sharia and the suppression of human rights as a means to perpetuate Islamic rule. He insisted that all Iranian freedoms not specifically authorized in the Quran were a part of the American and Zionist “agenda”, and he urged civil unrest throughout the nation.

He was deservedly exiled to Iraq for 15 years. In the midst of the civil unrest, Khomeini returned to Tehran in February, 1979 and turned the rejuvenated Islamic passion into rabid anti-Americanism and anti-Western values.

The time for a progressive revolution has arrived. The majority of Iranian people refuse to be fooled and intimidated any longer. They refuse to obey orders from the beasts of Allah currently ruling Iran. Iranians have recognized the fundamental weakness of their oppressors. With a little help here and little help there, they can be transformed overnight from seemingly subdued and helpless sheep into mighty lions.

Unlike what you may hear from the regime’s propagandists, dissatisfaction with the rule of the Mullahs is widespread. You will not read about it in many anti-American media outlets, but Iranian students, traditionally the vanguard of political and social reform in Iran, continue their valiant struggle in the face of torture, imprisonment and death. Labor unions, although tightly controlled, are in a constant state of rebellion against the inhumane treatments by the Islamic State. Ethnic and religious minorities suffering under the ruthless Islamic injustice and pogrom-like measures are ripe for mass eruption.

This week’s gasoline riots in Tehran were the signs of unhappiness with this incompetent regime and people’s readiness for a full-fledged revolution. There are some similarities between the last revolution and the upcoming revolution. But this time around people’s participation will be much higher, and unlike the Shah who left the country to avoid a bloodbath, the ruthless Mullahs will most likely crush thousands or even millions of people before they give up power.

It is extremely important to keep in mind that the key to victory in Iraq is also in the hands of the Iranian people. Thus it is for the good of all concerned that we start supporting the Iranian people and their success of toppling a terrorist regime. Let us hope that the world has learned its lessons.

It is time for the Iranians to strike, gather forces, organize and especially demonstrate in the streets in increasing numbers, even in the face of massive, gruesome, bloody repression by the Islamic rulers who still have a powerful armed apparatus at their disposal. It is time to unleash the wrath of the Iranian people on the Islamic zealots. It is time to become even more defiant and end the barbaric theocratic regime by massively participate in a progressive revolution.
