Canadian Friends of a Democratic Iran strongly condemns attacks in Paris

On behalf of the Canadian Friends of a Democratic Iran, I offer our deepest condolences to the families of victims of terrorist attacks in Paris and express our solidarity with the President of the Republic, the government and the people of France in this tragic moment.
The tragic events in Paris showed us once again that extremism and Islamic fundamentalism is a global threat that has its roots in the founding of the religious theocracy in Iran. It was also a bleak reminder of the attacks against innocent French citizens in the streets of Paris by the Iranian regime agents in the 80s.
Humanity and the civilized world face an unprecedented challenge to defeat fundamentalism under the banner of Islam. The massacre of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Syria, an inexplicable support for Maliki in Iraq, and ignoring the destructive meddling of the Iranian regime in the Middle East have collectively resulted in ISIS. That is why the Iranian people call the clerical regime as the godfather of ISIS or “Abu Daesh”.
The state-controlled media in Iran have already called for a change in the policy of France in Syria to support Assad. This statement speaks volume in the description of evil intentions of Shia counterparts of ISIS in Iran.
To win this battle, we must be united not to accept the catastrophic situation in Syria, Iraq and Iran. Nobody is immune against these terrorists and as long as they have room to breathe, they use every opportunity to attack innocent civilians throughout the world.

Once again terrorism with its borderlessand never-ending violence has manifested its inhuman and ugly face.
This time in Paris, like other times and all other outcomes of terrorism, defenseless and innocent people have been victims, which by any description and perspective is a crime against humanity.
Since the civilised world have witnessed the spread and growth of Islamic fundamentalism and extremism in the Middle East under the rule of terror of the “Godfather of Daesh” (ISIS, ISIL, IS), the Iranian regime, and is now spreading in the heart of the civilised world, we fully comprehend the French people and their feelings and pain in these hard moments similar to the pain of the people in Middle East during the past three decades. We strongly condemn Paris terrorist attacks and massacre of innocent people and offer our deep sympathies to the families of victims.
Today, Islamic fundamentalism and extremism is the greatest enemy of humanity, and Tehran is the source and main sponsor of that. Without Iranian regime, Islamic fundamentalism and extremism would not exist in these dimensions.
However, as Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of Iranian Resistance reiterated, “fundamentalism in the name of Islam – whether under the banner of Shia and velayat-e faqih or under the banner of Sunni and Daesh (ISIS) – and their inhuman crimes have nothing to do with Islam, and this evil phenomenon, wherever it may be, is the enemy of peace and humanity.”
Iranian people refer to the mullahs’ regime as “Godfather of ISIS or Abu-Daesh” and the crimes that ISIS perpetrates today have been carried out before by Iranian regime for over three decades.
The situation in Syria feeds ISIS. The main cause of existence and spread of ISIS is the massacre of 300,000 Syrian people by Bashar Assad’s regime. These crimes are the consequences of Iranian regime’s all-out support for the Assad’s regime.
As long as Iranian regime exists, these terrorist groups continue to exist and carry out their crimes. Eviction of Iranian regime from Syria and Iraq and regime change in Iran by Iranian people and their Resistance are essential conditions for sustainable eradication of Islamic fundamentalism and extremism in the region and the world.

Dutch Group of Friends of a Free Iran condemn Paris attack

Dutch Group Friends of a Free Iran (Dutch Group FOFI) strongly condemns the inhumane, vicious and unforgivable crime on Friday night in Paris.
Dutch Group FOFI extends its condolences to the people and Government of France and President Francois Hollande and expresses sincere sympathies with families of the victims.
This unforgettable tragedy underlines the need to gain an accurate understanding of the evil phenomenon of Islamic fundamentalism terrorism.
The IS (Daesh) did not just appear out of nowhere. They have been nurtured by the extensive suppression on the people of Syria at the hands of Bashar Assad and his main sponsor, the religious dictatorship in Tehran.
This already resulted in the massacre of 300,000 people of Syria at the hands of the Iranian regime and Assad forces, and displacing half of the country’s populace.
We not only sympathies with the French people but also express our full support for a robust and decisive policy to eradicate this phenomenon. We believe such successful outcome requires a firm and united policy to support Syrian people removing Bashar Assad. So long as he is power with the help of Iran, Syria will remain a breathing space for terrorists. In this respect there should also be no compromise with Iran, since the regime in Iran is the source of instability in the region.
It was with this understanding that Dutch Group FOFI also condemned the massacre of 24 defenseless residents of Camp Liberty members of Iranian dissident group, PMOI/MEK, by the Iranian regime’s affiliated militia as a similar act of terror funded by Tehran.
The time has come for the international community to find a comprehensive solution against Islamic fundamentalism. We call on our government and the international community to stand firm in dealing with this ominous phenomenon by standing with the people of Syrian and Iranian people in their desire for change and establishment of democracy.
