| Revolutionary Guards warn against disagreeing with them... |
| 2002-07-21 |
| Iran's hardline Revolutionary Guards Corps issued an unprecedented warning to reformers within the Islamic regime Sunday, saying they had exceeded all bounds in recent months by "openly supporting subversion on the streets." Opponents of the Islamic state, who had infiltrated the regime, were hoping to take advantage of the country's economic woes to sweep elections due over the next three years and introduce a secular regime amenable to the Islamic Republic's enemies, the Guards Corps's high command charged in a statement. The Guards would not stand idly by but would defend the revolution and the Islamic state, the statement warned. That means they're going to kill all the people they don't agree with... "We have noticed a strong tendency towards secularism, which wants to separate Islam from government and weaken the guardianship of the jurist (the constitutional dominance of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei). This tendency, which perhaps in the past was with the Islamic revolution, has succeeded in increasing the number of its supporters and has even infiltrated the regime. The tendency insults the various pillars of the revolution and undermines respect for Islam." Probably explains why people are viewing Islam itself with disgust... "In the past few months these people have exceeded all bounds by openly supporting subversion on the streets, discussing prostitution and plotting to win the forthcoming elections by taking advantange of social discontent with slogans like: 'Freedom for boys and girls,' and 'Freedom to watch satellite television." Being devout doesn't mean having freedom. It means having a turban... and a gun... "As for us, we will safeguard the revolution and stand ready to defend our beloved country and our people who have always remained faithful to the foundations and principles of the revolution." Yup. Coming to a boil. They've now decided to overreact... |
