Iran's 'Scheme' to
Use Religious Tourism to Control Iraq!
"The
Iranian octopus extends everywhere in Iraq, wringing her body of riches even
after it tore it to shreds with sectarianism. … Under this dangerous scheme,
Iranian intelligence will be able to Persianize Iraqi society and attempt to
eliminate Iraq's national identity."
The Iranian octopus extends
everywhere in Iraq, wringing her body of riches even after it tore it to shreds
with sectarianism. During his current visit, the criminal Rafsanjani [Iran's
former president] proposed an Iraq-Iran joint initiative in the area of
religious tourism.

shrine of Imam Abbas, in
Karbala, Mar. 9. Rafsanjani is in Iraq to
discuss a joint tourism plan, which some Iraqis
consider a threat
Under this dangerous scheme,
Iranian intelligence will be able to Persianize Iraqi society and attempt to
eliminate Iraq's identity. Under the pretext of "joint tourism" Iran
will try to impose in these cities and others an Iranian identity under the
guise of "freedom of movement."
Those who oversee the
entryways of Karbala, Najaf, Al-Kazimiyah and Samara are already in effect,
members of Iranian intelligence, being as they are agents of Grand
Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani and others. Iran has tightened her grip on these
places and is plundering their financial resources, transforming them into a
part of Iran with the full knowledge of the Shiite Waqf Council and the Iraqi
government.
The joint tourism plan is a
very dangerous one, the goal of which is to publicly penetrate the ranks of the
Iraqi people and alter our national identity by attempting to tie the public
mind to this and similar dubious schemes. Under the plan, Iran will have
control of the Ashura
processions, the movement of Al-Husseini
processions and over the specific songs performed on the Al-Husseini pulpit.
The day isn't far off when
the sons of Karbala, Najaf, Al-Kazimiyah and Samara find themselves strangers
in their own home towns and Iranian intelligence officers administer and govern
them, in public fashion, under the pretext of jointprojects to promote tourism.
I so admire the
writings of Khadir Taahar! This writer raves with such frankness and clarity,
and never shies away from shocking the reader with his contrarian beliefs -
whether he (the reader) be left-wing, right-wing or independent. For him, all
that matters is that the reader be an Iraqi. Why? Because
regardless of their religious denominations or particular beliefs, Iraqis are
uncomfortable with the international brand known as the “United States of
America.”

To say: “They are
uncomfortable” in a polite and civilized way is not to say: “They hate or are
resentful,” since I don’t wish to annoy Khadir Taahar - who is more American
than the Americans and even more than Bush, Cheney, Rice or Gates. He is more
part of the American intelligence apparatus than the men of CIA and more Jewish
than the Jews (remember his Kitabat article from April 15th 2007, in which he
called for establishing friendly relations with Israel so that it could take
part in rebuilding Iraq!)

I like the work
of this writer because he isn’t ashamed or embarrassed to express his ideas and
political views clearly and honestly and he isn’t afraid of critics of his writings.
Nor does he feel the need to respect the feelings of other Iraqis, who take
umbrage at his favorite leaders, the Americans, who have inflicted death,
destruction and ruin upon them in the service of Israel and her future
security, and at their hands of Washington’s creation, the terrorists, who came
from abroad at the behest of their [Iraqi] allies and advisers from the former
regime.
