No to Compulsory Veil: No to Compulsory Religion, No to Compulsory Government
No to Compulsory Veil: No to Compulsory Religion, No to Compulsory Government Paperback – July 26, 2017
by Maryam Rajavi (Author)
This is a selection of six speeches by Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran from 2015 to 2017 in various conferences on the topic of Islam, compulsory veil, compulsory religion and compulsory government and why anything that is forced under any pretexts is contrary to the teachings of Islam.
Maryam Rajavi argues that mysogeny is the core of Islamic fundamentalism. In the case of iran, she argues that misogyny under the cloak of religion has become systematic and persistent because it is a lever to maintain the monopolistic domination of the velayat-e faqih. Misogyny is the raison d'être for dozens of the regime's suppressive agencies. It justifies the permanent surveillance operations in the streets, the actions of street patrols and the conduct of such agencies as the "Office to Combat Vice," or the "Morality Police Force" and 20 other police entities.
Similarly, clamping down on women on the pretext of mal- veiling is one of the most effective means to repress society and silence any voice of dissent.See all formats and editions

WE SHOULD LISTEN CLOSELY TO IRAN Created: 26 January 2018 Iran Maryam Rajavi NCRI PMOI/MEK Human rights Protests United States Opinion JCPOA Paris Middle East Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei (Photo by Supreme Leader Press Office / Handout/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images) By Heshmat Alavi As the world continues to debate the recent Iranian outburst of protests, its "lack of leadership" as they claim, and the road ahead, there is no doubt in the minds of senior Iranian regime officials over who led, and continues to lead, this latest uprising that continues to rattle the very pillars of the mullahs' rule.Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei made his thoughts crystal clear.“The incidents were organized” and carried out by the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), he said although using a different term. “The [MEK] had prepared for this months ago” and “the [MEK’s] media outlets had called for it.” The MEK is best known ...
Let’s Get Real: There Are No ‘Moderates’ In Iran’s Government That U.S. intelligence agencies’ latest threat assessment views Iran’s leadership according to the moderate-hardliner split. That defies logic. By Ben Weingarten FEBRUARY 23, 2018 If Iran is the most prominent state sponsor of terrorism in the world, can its president be called a “centrist?” What about if under that president Iran has become the world’s leading executioner of all people per capita, and of women and children on an absolute basis? Does a president termed the “Diplomatic Sheikh,” a man who brags about deceiving the West in negotiations to buy time to advance Iran’s nuclear program; who describes such diplomatic engagement as “ jihad ;” and who calls for still more “ jihad and resistance ” against Israel while pointing 250,000 rockets at it , strike you as “centrist?” If that president served for 40 years at the highest levels of the Islamic revolutionary regime as the first official following the overthrow ...
