(WaPo) President Obama at the United Nation in September, 2013 said: “The world is more stable than it was five years ago…We are encouraged that President Rouhani received from the Iranian people a mandate to pursue a more moderate course–Iran’s commitment to go down a different path will be good for the region and for the world and will help the Iranian people meet their extraordinary potential in commerce and culture, in science and education.”

Huh???

On Friday the Natl Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) reported that Maryam Rajavi President-Elect of the ‘Iranian Resistance’ asserted in Paris, at the ‘Conference on Democratic and Tolerant Islam Against Fundamentalism, Religious Dictatorship’ said that the Muslim world has a common enemy in the fundamentalists ruling Iran emphasizing:

“An end is conceivable to the bloodletting and the fire set ablaze by extremists under the name of Islam. To do so you should have the full-fledged solidarity with the ‘Iranian Resistance’ and people and to stand up to the Iranian regime and its accomplices such as Bashar Assad and the forces in Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and Syria who follow and carry out the policies of the Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurists)

So as long as this regime is in power, the people of Iran and other nations in the Middle-East will not experience freedom and democracy. A regime that continues to persist on acquiring the nuclear bomb, despite opposition of the Iranian people and the international community is a global threat.”

While stressing the separation of religion and state as a Muslim Woman, Maryam Rajavi declared the ‘Iranian Resistance’ rejects compulsory religion and compulsion is religion; Despotism and tyranny under the name of Islam, the medieval Sharia Laws and the excommunication of opponents; all forms of coercion, oppression and exploitation; religious discrimination; sectarian wars and sowing discord among Shiites and Sunnis, together with the sinister products of the fundamentalist Velayat-e Faqih — While defending Women’s equality.

In closing Maryam Rajavi said, “Recognition of this resistance and its struggle to overthrow the Iranian regime is not only the will of the Iranian people but the need of the region for peace and tranquility and an imperative step to defeat the ominous phenomenon of fundamentalism.”

Why is it that Obama has chosen to ignore the voices of the ‘Iranian Resistance’ together with the people they represent and instead continues to negotiate with the Iranian Fascists regime that have not only been responsible for the deaths of American Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan but continue to illegally imprison Americans: Amir Hekmati, Washington Post Reporter Jason Rezaian and Pastor Saeed Abedini, while continuing to commit human rights atrocities against its own people?
