Maryam Rajavi Explains the Truth of Islam
Maryam Rajavi, President-elect
of National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), writes, “To practicing
Muslims of all stripes, Ramadan is a season of compassion, self-betterment and
community, values wholly denigrated by the persistence of terrorism and tyranny
under the name of Islam.”
Mes. Maryam Rajavi opinion pice in Forbes, July 10, goes on to explain that,
“From the outset, when Prophet Mohammad invited all to accept a single God, he
told people that this would bring them salvation. God said in the Holy Quran
that the Prophet had come to open the chains from people’s hands and feet.
Prior to this, Jesus had said, ‘Love one another just as the Lord loves you.’
Before him, Moses invited people to a religion that considers human beings as
part of one family, describing the various peoples, ethnicities and tribes as
branches that lead back to a single source.”
She
believes that the recent violence in Orlando, Istanbul, Bangladesh, and Saudi
Arabia, comes from a twisted image of Islam that strips the Quranic verses, and
the traditions of the Prophet, of their original context in an attempt to
justify murder, conquest and subjugation.
“This is
not Islam.”
Islam
teaches that all of us are the children of Abraham, and are therefore brothers
and sisters, whose our essential relationship to each other is freedom,
compassion and unity. Instead, Quranic verses have been interpreted in an
ultraconservative manner, and used by rulers to oppress, exploit and exact
retribution.
“Ironically,
Muslims who oppose the rule of clerics or caliphs, as well as non-Muslims who
refuse to surrender to them, are the primary targets of this falsely labeled
‘jihad.’” says Mrs. Rajavi.
Violence
against women is also practiced by extremists, who would deprive them of their
most basic rights. However, Islam pioneered liberty and equality for women.
Hundreds of women swore allegiance to the Prophet and began assuming
responsibilities in political, social and military matters. That is an example
of the truth of Islam.
I believe that:
Only
regime antithesis of Islamic fundamentalism in Iran is national Council of Resistance (provisional
democratic Republic of Iran)
