The Tricky Fox .... Europe with Iranian chadour

The first day of spring is cause for a celebration, especially after the winter many of us have been having. But it s hard to top the 13-day festivities of the Persian New Year, Nowruz.

Nowruz,´-or-"new day" in Persian, is an ancient festival that marks the beginning of spring and celebrates the rebirth of nature. And naturally, it has a lot to do with fresh, green foods just beginning to poke out of the ground that remind us winter is not, in fact, eternal.

Nowruz begins at the stroke of the vernal equinox, when the sun crosses the equator. This year it came early in the morning of March 20. When the equinox comes, millions of families of Iranian descent gather around a ceremonial table known as the haftseen. (Think colorful, elaborate Day Of The Dead-type altars meet a mashup of Easter and Passover traditions.) Young and old hold hands and count down to the New Year together and cheer Eide Shoma Mobarak,´-or-Happy New Year!

This year Nowruz was different in Iran it camr after signing the nuclear agreement with the west.
Rohani the Iranian president was received as peace maker in Europe though his country is supporting terrorist organizations like “Hizbullah” in Lebanon and “Huthies” in Yemen, of course we should never forget that Iranians are part of the killing machine slaughtering the Syrian people.
To avoid offending the Iranian leader, authorities at the press conference with Iranian president Rouhani and Italian P.M. Renzi at the Esedra room of the Capitoline Museum opted to cover up classic nude statues with large white panels, the disgraceful move has shown the European double morals and shown that Europe can wear the Iranian chador which is a black legitimate cover for women according to sharia law. It looks like that 17 billion Euro facilitates censorship and compromising Italian culture.
Europe is going through a Self-denial stage, to secure the Iranian investments, and turning a blind eye on the reality of the true character of Rohani by changing the Facts and calling him "Diplomatic sheikh (religious rank)".
Although Iran elected who is identified by the west because of the nuclear agreement as a "moderate", "reformer" and "diplomatic" sheikh, Hassan Rouhani, to be president in 2013, the country has seen no significant improvements in human rights. Repressive elements within the security and intelligence forces and the judiciary retain wider powers and continue to be the main perpetrators of rights abuses. In 2014 Iran had the second highest number of executions in the world after China, and executed the largest number of juvenile offenders. The country remains one of the biggest jailers in the world of journalists, bloggers, and social media activists. Prominent opposition figures Mir Hossein Mousavi, Zahra Rahnavard, and Mehdi Karroubi, held without charge´-or-trial since February 2011, remain under house arrest. To understand the reason behind why human rights has worsened we have to read and understand the background of sheikh Rohani, who was the head of national security council from 1989 to 2005 and had a major role in the violent crackdown on 1999 student uprising against the Islamic regime. Violence is part of the process thinking of Rohani to isolate the opponents of the regime. During his press release to Ettelaل-;-t newspaper 1994 Rohani said "Iran will not hesitate to destroy the activities of counterrevolutionary groups".
July 1999 at a pro-regime rally Rohani said " At-Dusk yesterday we received a decisive revolutionary order to crush mercilessly and monumentally any move of of these opportunist elements where ever it may occur".
Rohani has chosen the member of death comity Mustafa Pour-mohammadi to be his minister of justice. Rohani pick was criticized by human rights groups, for his role in the summery executions of thousands of Iranians political prisoners in 1988. Ayatollah Montazeri, the sole successor to Ayatollah Khomeini, and a point of imitation who turned against the regime, referred to Pour-mohammadi as one with a significant role in mass murders of the political prisoners in Tehran in 1988. As the official representative of the Ministry of Intelligence,Pour-mohammadi was a member of a three-man committee, who, after a brief questioning of the political´-or-religious prisoners about their ideology, decided whether they would live´-or-die. In July and August 1988, through a fatwa issued by Khomeini, and the decision of the judiciary and the ministry of intelligence, over 5000 Iranian political prisoners were executed, all of whom were serving their prison sentence,´-or-had even finished their term.About a meeting with Pourmohammadi and two other members of the committee, Ayatollah Montazeri notes: “After my second letter of objection to Ayatollah Khomeini, there were no changes, and the executions continued. On 15 August 1988, I met with Nayyeri, religious magistrate in Evin, Eshraghi, prosecutor, and Pourmohammadi, the representative of the ministry of intelligence. I asked them to stop the executions during the month of Muharram. Mr. Nayyeri said: “So far we have executed 750 people in Tehran, and have identified 250 more. Allow us to get rid of these and we shall then honour your recommendation.”
I wonder if Rohani was asked during his meetings with the Pope and European officials if he was asked, when Iran is going to stop interfering in the internal politics of the regional countries surrounding It " Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Bahrain ". ?
And whether they asked Rohani in what sense he signed on the execution of 2000 prisoners belonging to Iranian operation without fair trials?
When Europe receive a serial killer (Rohani) with much appreciation and Italy allow covering the nude statues in honor of Iranian President visit then whole of Europe has to accept the ISIS destruction of the Buddha statues and other civilizations because their religion ordered them to do so, and I wonder if the west tomorrow is going to show equal forgiveness toward ISIS who is by now controlling part of Syrian and Iraqi Oile, and planing to takeover Libya Oile, and might send a representative to negotiate commercial deals with Europe.
Europeans should know that their action may be understood wrongly as an acceptance of ISIS wrong practices. Rohani and ISIS are coming to Europe from the same criminal school the only difference is that Rohani had outsmarted the west with his tricky fox face.
Rohani must be called the "Tricky fox" and not the " moderated diplomatic sheikh".
Europe stop acting like the fool husband, it s easy to fool the eye but it s hard to fool the heart.
We must continue to document serious human rights violations in Iran including detention of human rights defenders and other prisoners of conscience, unfair trials, torture and mistreatment in detention, deaths in custody and the application of the death penalty. Iran executes more people than any country in the world, other than China. Ethnic, religious and linguistic minority communities face persistent persecution.
Moreover, despite the clerical regime’s continuous sponsoring of global terrorism and in spite of its quest for weapons of mass destruction, some people outside of Iran still believe in the existence of “moderate” factions within the regime. They seem to believe that those factions will put Iran on the path of democratization and reorient the country’s foreign policy.

Nowruz this year should be a chance to support changes in Iran, and transforming Iran into a multinational federation would result in a fundamental change in prevailing ideas about our country. An Iranian multinational federation would put an end to the myth of mono-nationality – a myth that is being maintained by massive military and psychological violence – and correspond with the country’s true multinational makeup. This kind of federalism is premised on the recognition of identity as a source of dignity for the individual members of Iran’s ethnic and national communities. The solution to the national question in Iran does not lie in improved socio-economic conditions for the individual members of oppressed nations. Rather, a just and long-term solution is political recognition of the national identities of Iran’s nations and constitutional safeguards for their national and territorial rights. Contrary to the fear of some people that federalism would result in the breakup of Iran, such a model would create unity out of diversity.

In short, whereas Iran’s national diversity has been regarded as a “problem” by successive regimes in Iran and has been subject to violence and forced assimilation, it holds the key to democracy in the country. Thus, it is in the outside world’s interest to support Iran’s national diversity.

For this strategy to succeed, however, the outside world should give the Iranian democratic and secular Opposition full support. A democratic and federal Iran will not only be at peace with itself, but also with the outside world.
