Stop Godfather of ISIS

During my today’s search in twitter, I noticed a hashtag of #StopGodFatherofISIS. Tweets on this hashtag guided my to a YouTube video. So, I decided to write about who is godfather of ISIS?  

Iranians have dubbed their government the 'godfather' of the Islamic State militant group, Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of National Council of Resistance of Iran told a US House subcommittee.

Terrorism and fundamentalism under the name of Islam came to the world as seen by the mullahs’ regime in Iran. Khomeini was the first one who theorized Velayat-e faqih, a Khalife, who should have both political and religious supremacy all over the Muslims and he is the one who should lead the whole Muslim states. This is the same idea that ISIS is based upon.   Despite all their differences, ISIS is very close to the fundamentalists ruling in Iran and even on occasions they have cooperated.

Iranian regime helped the creation of ISIS. Ex-Iraqi Prime Minister, a poppet of Mullahs, governed Iraq for 8 years. During this period Iran spread its control all over Iraq. Iran has been helping Iraqi leaders to fight the Sunnis militants by arming and advising Shiite militias. So Sunnis feel they have being set aside in the political environment of Iraq which helped the emergence of ISIS. Now this jihadist group has captured territories in Iraq and Syria.

Every atrocities committed by ISIS that we see on YouTube videos every day is not new for Iranians.  Mullahs have implemented all instruments of terror and torture towards their own people. In 1988 they massacred 30 thousands political prisoners during less than a month.  They carry on public executions and lashes to terrify people. They stone women to death in public. They impute people’s eyes and hands. Several months ago, they carried on acid attacks against women on the pretext of bad-veiling which rose international condemnation of this brutal medieval action.

The first Tehran University chancellor after the downfall of the monarchy in Iran and a former political prisoner, Dr. Maleki, spoke about the tortures he witnessed while incarcerated in various prisons in Iran and described the Iranian regime as the godfather of groups such as Islamic State (ISIS). In an article entitled “The regime of Velayat-e faqih, the godfather of Islamic fundamentalism” Dr. Maleki explains the horrible torture that he witnessed in the 1980s while incarcerated in the notorious Evin Prison in northern Tehran and Ghezel Hesar Prison in the city of Karaj.

So, this is the time to stop godfather of ISIS in order to prevent spread of Islamic extremism ideology. The mullahs’ regime is not part of any solution as we attempt to deal with Islamic fundamentalism. It is indeed the heart of the problem, and the ultimate solution is regime change in Iran. This will cut the head of octopus whose one of tentacles is ISIS.
