The Continuation of the Islamic Revolution

Ayatollah Qumeni had little man power when he demanded rule of Islamic Sharia from the Shah of Iran. A journalist once asked him, The masses are not with you, how you would achieve your goal? He said The kids that are in the cradle right now will be my army and they will God-Willing enforce the Islamic Rule in Iran. Soon after he was forced out of Iran. He spent the earlier part of his asylum in Iraq and later on in france. During this time he was constantly in touch with his people and was leading the brewing Islamic revolution which was eventually fruitful. After 16 years of forced leaf from Iran, when returned Iran, a flood of human beings welcomed him. Millions of people showed up at the airport, majority of them were young people. Among these young men was a man by the name of Mahmood Ahmedi Nijad who was an integral part of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Nijad was also implicated in the hostage of American diplomats which were eventually freed once the American govt released the 567 million dollars that was the property of the nation of Iran. During this time the Shah of Iran passed away in Egypt due to throat cancer. After the prisoners and the diplomats were released they came on the media and told the world that they were treated with utmost respect and civility.
The fact of the matter is that America and their western allies were always after the demise of the Islamic revolution therefore they conspired with their golden boy Saddam and had him attack Iran. That war lasted for 8 years, hundreds of thousands of innocent muslim lives were ravaged. Even all thru this despair and chaos, the elections were always held on time and slowly but surely Iran kept on progressing. Even today west is conspiring against iran to adopt the western values and their democratic model.
On 27th June thousands of Homosexuals gathered in Washington d.c for a rally. The interesting fact is that among these men and women there was a group of Indians and Pakistanis were also present in this Gay-Parade. Fact of the matter is that west has its values and freedoms and east has its own values that they take pride in. As far as Iran is concerned, the reformers opened the society and gave them freedoms that they didnt have. In 1979 the population of iran was 35 million, it grew to 65 million in the year 2004. women are free to pursue higher education, 61% of Iranian women are university graduates, about 4 million individuals use internet, about 3 million have access to satellite tv, which includes bbc, cnn and voice of America. There are more than 700 channels that the populous of iran have access to. About 250000 iranians listen to bbc radio. The biggest news paper of iran has a circulation of about 450,000, the reason behind that is that 98% of Iranians are literate.
Every household on average has 4-6 individuals, its not hard to conclude from the above information that the people of iran are not living in stone ages, its a viable and thriving society. One more interesting fact is that the last 4 election the reformers were victors in Iran, however since the west and America has built up their pressure on iran by falsely implicating them in nuclear issues, Iranians gave their vote of confidence in the recent election to a man who was close the ayatollah and is an avid supporter of the Islamic revolution. Mahmood Ahmedi Nijad was born in a poor family. Being a son of an steel-mill worker he knows quite well that you have to strike the iron when the iron is hot. When he became the mayor of Iran, the tardionalist supported him and some of his friends contributed financially to his election campaign. The recent presidential campaign no different either, he is not a rich man therefore didnt have any money to spend on his campaign, his friends and the people of iran contributed to his campaign. Honesty, discipline and simplicity in his daily life are the characteristics that he is widely known for. When he was the mayor of Tehran he refused to use the lavish official residence of the mayor and instead lived in the same apartment which he use to live in at the outskirts of Tehran before he became the mayor. He learnt these traits from being close to ayatollah. After he became the president of Iran the first thing he did was to pay a visit to the greave of Aayatollah Qumeni. He also paid his respects to the martyrs of the Islamic revolution. When a man achieves success and chooses to remember his dead comrades, this shows immense character.
In his first press conference Mahmood ahmedi Nijad made it crystal clear that if someone wants to shake our hands in peace, we will welcome them with open arms. But if someone wants to dictate us with aggression, we will show them that we are a living, breathing viable nation. He said that nuclear capability is the right of Iranian people and they will not sacrifice it on the whims of others. The fact that Mahmood ahmedi nijad won the confidence of 61% of Iranian people shows us that Iranians have no doubt that a strong man who is firm on his stance and not apologetic, can only safeguard their nuclear interest and aspiration.
End.
