Mujahedin Khalq Terror group

More on “Washington’s Favorite Terrorists,” the MEK

Nejat Society0127 views

Iranian politics are complex and can be as confusing as US foreign policy is on Iran, but of this you can be certain: the MEK and it’s “parliament in-waiting” is considered illegitimate at best by the vast majority of Iranians living inside and outside of Iran. It can’t serve the interests of the US government or normal Iranians either.But that doesn’t seem to matter to the likes of Rudy Giuliani, Tom Ridge, John Bolton and other neoconservatives, far right-wingers and their European counterparts..is it naive to hope that the mainstream media which failed so badly in the run up to the Iraq war with figures like Ahmed Chalabi will give this group better investigative coverage?

Nejat Society088 views

The MEK have been lobbying hard in Washington since the 80s at least, despite being on the terrorist list for killing American diplomats and military personnel in the days of the Shah. .. they seem able to persuade Congressmen .. Yet besides their track record of killing US personnel in the Shah’s day, they are based in Iraq, fought on the side of Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, maintain to this day a cultlike”Camp Ashraf”in Iraq..Their PR skills are good. In my journalism days they used to drop by regularly to try to cultivate me, and while I listened politely, I had too many US military friends ..

Bachmann and the Mujahideen e-Khalq

I was disappointed, therefore, to see Bachmann’s uncritical support for the Mujahideen e-Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI), which the State Department defines as a terror group…I also welcome the debate on whether the MKO is a terrorist group or not (I believe it is), there are certain incontrovertible facts: (1) the MKO has targeted Americans in past terrorist attacks; (2) they have embraced Saddam; (3) they operate as a cult which remains hostile to freedom, liberty, and democracy; and (4), they have very little if any support among Iranians in Iran.

… In this statement, the enormous terrorist acts of Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization and murder of 12000 Iranians and also the crimes of Jundullah against Iranian people were reminded. According to the Jundullah ringleader’s confessions and the MKO-related documents, US has supported these terrorist groups; now the question is that what is the relation between fighting against terrorism and at the same time, taking the side of terrorist groups? Commemorating all the martyrs of terrorism and especially the victims of Iran Air Flight 655 who were victimized by the brutality of the US leaders, we condemn any double political approach …

… No one should be surprised — not even DC’s”unwitting members of Congress”– as the FBI calls the group’s supporters on Capitol Hill.
