The statement of the followers of the pacific clergy Ayatollah Boroujerdi, to protest against the detention of Dr.Hesam Firouzi coincident in the same

The unforgivable guilt of Dr.Firouzi in the view of oppressive government of Iran is revealing the entity of religious exploitation, also announcing the grave state of well-known opinion and political prisoners like: Mr.Ahmad Batebi, Mohammadi and Mr.Broujerdi too. In spite of this, governmental authorities has charged him with unreal and ridiculous charges such as "acting against national security" to show their illegal acts legal.
Many opinion and political prisoners have suspiciously been killed during the three decades of Mullahs' government, as its last example is the suspicious death of Amir Heshmat-Saran who passed away in hospital while his hands and feet were in chain!
The aim of the government from increasing pressures on this conscientious physician and transferring him to Evin prison on the one hand is intensifying the fear and horror of the atmosphere and on other hand preventing from treating prisoners, as we can find the effects of such these harsh acts, in keeping the number of diseases and defectiveness' of prisoners secret and also increasing in the number of the suspicious murders in prisons.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi's followers in addiction to express their heartfelt sympathy with the respectful family of Dr.Firouzi, announce their firm protest against these inhuman behaviors.
Occurrence of such these unjust acts in the same time of Norouz and the beginning of spring is an obvious evidence on the enmity of the religious government of Iran with all goodness and elegance of the nature.
We hereby ask all Human Rights activists to bring up the matter of Dr. Firouzi's situation in Human Rights Organizations and to follow up his state to achieve required results.

The happy message of Ayatollah Boroujerdi on Norooz festival ( Norooz 88 )

Greeting to Norooz, greeting to believers in Norooz in all period of time.

The year 87 that was full of the volcanoes of inflation, dearth, discrimination and inequality finished, but its negative and injurious effects have not let oppressed Iranian people alone and exist in their life yet, a year full of sorrows, hardships, misery and adversity which constantly annoyed and tormented deprived and oppressed country. How can we welcome spring by all heart and soul, while drought has threatened oppressed Iranians` life to devastation as a demon? Dryness and the anger of the sky have pointed to grasses and remind and bring autumn. Today our dear country needs God's blessing strongly.
O'God; surly you have transferred the reaction of the oppression of governor to the nature and have taken blessings from this country.
O'deity; please have mercy on this poor and lonely country and sent your blessings to this sacred land, since we aren't able to tolerate more suffers, both captivity of despotism and the damages of the nature, the earth and the sky.
O' Lord; a perilous year passed on the people who had no right and no rule on their destinies.
You, who are sympathetic to these poor people who are in the chains of religious dictatorship, know better than all what has happened on them, you know how suffocation, violence and disgrace have suffered and annoyed them. How can we say happy on the death of winter, while the beautiful, joyful and lively spring has left us for along time, and the tears of the poor and afflicted people of lovely country ,Iran have replaced happy rains and the dams are full of misery and hopelessness instead of water?!
O' my dear creator; I call you who are merciful and the creator of goodness, to change the situation and shine the fortune sun on this country and send favor, blessing and remission to Iranian people and permit to basic reforms.
With the hope of release of all from annoying restrictions and the fulfillment of public wishes and passing of ups and downs of the current history and beginning of the happiness and justice and with the wish of the new year as be the messenger of freedom, peace, consistency and calm for all people of Iran as no unhappiness, no bitterness and no storm be found in its days and my countrymen be always healthy, and happy and have a nice and beautiful life.

Secularism

Secularism represents an ideal ideology for relieving men of all spiritual doubts.
In their intellectual and natural development the point of view of those familiar with spirituality do not lend themselves to being disappointed with social turmoil nor give into religious uncertainty.
If we consider the disadvantages and damages inflicted by this non-Secular government, we realize that its effects are so negative, widely spread and profound, that they demolish every pride and honor of Islam's religious founders.
Orders issued by this non-Secular government restrict the movements of its society and create suspicion towards religion and its pivotal role.
Turning to Secularism is the only way to save Iran from a definite material and spiritual regression.
Damages brought on by eliminating different religions at the hands of the irreligious are so significant that they would adversely affect many generations yet to come, bringing back dangerous periods in history in where justice, peace and conscience were weaker than ever.
Without a doubt, Islamic decrees are subject to many limitations in need of constant modern interpretation, providing guidance to its followers with prudent, regional and emotional justifications, preventing attitudes of Islam from falling into inevitable contempt and revulsion.
Every government can present its people with discipline, wellbeing and security by applying social and civil rules and regulations. However, combining these rules with Islam's leads to discrepancies and inconsistencies.
The only way to rescue the people from dictatorship, misery and poverty is to incorporate people's wishes and requests democratically.
When establishing the laws of a country, people's interests, concerns and tendencies should be taken into account in order to prevent their rights from being overlooked in anyway. The general views and ideas of the public should be the absolute authority.
Experiences gained from the 30 years since the Islamic revolution imply the fact that the majority of the public lacks respect for the strict, so called "Islamic" regulations and expectations.
At present, the time of accepting aggressive deeds under the guise of "Qur'anic verses" has come to an end. People are tired of unjustified and illogical does and don'ts. The fate of a religious government has been set as hatred of other countries towards it.
Republicanism is used as a hidden tool by the dictators in order to put their requests ahead of those of the people's. Understandably they have caused anger within the public.
Nowadays finding a republican government which approves of the public being in charge of the public for the sake of the public is significantly rare. More embarrassing than that is the pairing of the word "republic" with "Islamic," which not only sounds like a bad joke but also leads to no end other than disgracing God and the saints.
The only way to free a country under the ill-treatment of a despotic government that coats itself with religion is a referendum devoid of bribery in order to correct abolished manners and cure this injected infection of injustice. In this referendum every individual should have the right to chose his/her desired method of a political regime.
Generally, the most significant problems in Iran represent freedom of thought, and liberty of speech and religion devoid of imposed religious limitations.
People's excessive dislike towards this regime's version of Islam is to the point that efforts are made to forget Islamic practices taught by their forefathers. Even the people who thirty years ago where famous for their undying love of Hussein, Reza and Ali, are now ashamed of naming their children after them.
To attain benevolence people all over the world need to reach a single conclusion, an agreement to free those affected by cruelty, to guide them towards their absolute rights, to stop the ongoing selfishness and self-centeredness of their bullies. This is not achieved easily unless the collective decides to take the power out of the hands of this regime, to make them withdraw. Maybe then we can give our people the right to breathe and live again.
The Gathering of all experienced legal experts and attorneys, proficient sociologist, sincere peacemakers and trustworthy people, under the supervision of the defenders of peace and freedom, can give us the opportunity to take over, forcing the regime adhere to people's wishes.
The Contribution of liberal, independent and benevolent clergies in this kind of society, can influence the religious multitude for the better. Incorrect religious beliefs, which are the result of the teachings of this regime's misleading Mullahs have destroyed their beliefs and created a sea of irrational baseless suggestions under the guise "Islamic" ideology, constituting a major reason for this regime's ever expanding power. The regime takes advantage of the society under the name of religion and injects dangerous misinterpreted beliefs and ways of worshiping God. As a consequence, not only is respect towards God is destroyed but also the culture at large.
There are so many fake religions surrounding believers these days that any blind obedience is considered the word of God and is openly accepted.
We believe that the only cure for the disease of "religious revulsion" is disclosing this regime's secrets. The inception of democracy in Iran is commensurate with turning away from unhealthy interpretations of religion towards a realization of true religion.
This is where our active and creative cooperation and contributions, and the carelessness of the world towards my situation, especially during the past 3 years, becomes apparent, making this regime more powerful than ever in its efforts of internal suppression. For that reason international support and assistance for this imprisoned religious leader and an agreement between the powers of the world to strengthen my word and goals can bring back hope of Secularism and a democratic future for Iran.

Seyyed Hossein Kazemeini Boroujerdi

The birthday of holy Mohammad, the prophet of Islam And the happy message of Ayatollah Boroujerdi inside Yazd prison

In the name of the merciful God and in memory of the prophet who his prophecy was all mercy, generosity and kindness. Happy the birthday of the selected human who his word was "hello", his stance was friendship and health and his thought was remission, forgiveness and peace. I congratulate all followers of holly Mohammad in all over the world on the birthday of this holly prophet, also I remind of his moderate way and custom which is away from violence, blind fanaticisms and disturbance. There is the custom and the way of living and acting of this holy prophet of Islam that is contrary to all extremists' slogans, terroristic movements and rough actions, according to this custom the path of egoism, despotism and conceit has been obstructed.
His presence in the Islamic society was simple and with out ceremony, he lived like other people without dependence on government and power as if a person saw him, he couldn't distinguish between governor and subordinate because he held meetings without guard agents and security controls. He was so attractive and kind that on the time of meeting some one first he started greeting and saying hello. His humanism necessitated going to meet his enmities and visit patients without attention to opinion conflicts. His pacifism was at such high level that in the time of conquest of Mecca he shouted:" today is the time of remission and reconcile with my enemies". His justice was so that he forgave the leader of his opponents and enemies and made his house a safe place as every one could take it as a refuge and be safe from retaliation there.
He announced in his final speech with perfect courage and bravely:" if I have oppressed some one, I'm ready to be punished". He introduced one who doesn't annoy people and people are in calm and peace with him, as his real follower. He never made a prison or tortured a captive during his administration and leadership; he even forgave the killer of the commander of his army. He was concern about human's future and recommended to peaceful life even while he was dying.
With the wish of fulfillment of his ideal

Happy 8th of March, International Woman's Day

The day 8th of March is a pretext for reviewing our thoughts regarding the identity of this sacred creature and removing discrimination and feeble-mindedness about her also it is a chance to announce effective advocacy for women's movement and to protest against continuing the detention of women rights activists in Iran.
Maybe, it can be said that Ayatollah Boroujerdi is the sole clergy that has a progressive view on woman's place, but no opportunity has still been provided to express his comprehensive viewpoints in regard to women, because of many reasons that there is no time to mention.
If situation be provided to express his viewpoints on the world around freely, we will surly witness the presentation of the pretties and the most graceful ideas about woman, from this pacifist prisoner.
This great day is a chance to review a selection of the viewpoints of this freethinker and liberal clergy about woman:

Woman in Ayatollah Boroujerdi's view:
From his writings and interviews

Woman is the beautiful creature of God .women are talented and powerful to do every thing. In occupational and trade divisions woman's veneration and holiness must be observed and the delicacy and elegance of woman who is responsible for civilization and generation must not be forgotten. Trading her chastity must be avoided and we must never use her as a means for marketing and must never ignore her God-given positions, though woman's position has been abused during last ages and indecent traders have abused this sacred gender in different cases.

Please explain the rights and limits of women ?
Woman is the partner of man in administration of the life affairs .women have the same position in creation that men have achieved and each law violates their personality and credit integrity is worthless .All judgments which lead to humiliating and regressing women are as the Human Rights violators. Every kind of limits and restrictions which cause reduction in their success and enjoyment of life are unrespectable and unenforceable. Scientific and social fields must not cause limitation and strait for them

What's your opinion on equality of the rights of man and woman ?
About that part which is relevant to Islamic laws it must be said that Islamic laws are based on jurisprudence, it means, they can be changed according to the different situation of time and place, but if religion and the state be separated , these problems will be solved through a great vision .

Please tell us what is women's place in your viewpoint ?
If you observe our monthly meeting, you will understand that the majority of those present are women and my disciples are mostly ladies. In my thought and research procedure women have the main responsibility and a special place in creation and honoring this great part of the creation is reverence for god. I expect women to join us and help to wipe terrorism and unjust groups.

What's your opinion on the repression of the different groups of people ?
I believe we can’t call a government which represses people, republic especially if it represses by the Islamic pretexts, it can be called Islamic. I protest against the use of the world "Islamic republic". I have expressed my protests against repression of my countrymen in the letters to the religious characters of the world too.

Increasing pressures on one of Ayatollah Boroujerdi's followers

Mr. Boroujerdi has asked for permission to remedy out of prison for several times, but this appeal has not been accepted by relative officials. The authorities of Yazd prison claim that they have asked the officials of the Special Court for the clergy for information on issuing such this permission, but they (SCC officials) believe it is probable that Mr. Boroujerdi be kidnapped by his followers after coming out of prison, so they are opposed to treatment out of prison!
In addition the officials of Yazd prison have announced their approval on the examination inside prison by specialist physicians during their last reaction, but according to the statements of the specialist physicians like Dr.Ali Najafi, the orthopedist in Yazd city; this matter is impossible because of the lack of advanced medical equipments like MRI in Yazd prison.

The main problem of our country, people and religion in current situation is interference of all affairs together .Religion has been used as a means for political intentions, whereas religious scholars' duty is engaging in and performing religious affairs and must leave government to politicians, but today the center of power and politics that is with oppression , violence and injustice has formed religious government which its effects and results are harmful for every body and I have always recommended that religion must be separated from government.
Some people believe that Ayatollah Boroujerdi didn't have any opinions and beliefs in separation of religion from state before his detention and he has expressed such these subjects after his arrest to attract the attention of the world!
The publication of the above document is a firm reason that rejects such these rumors and shows and reveals the severe opinion conflicts between him and the government during past years.
This religious leader has always been faced various restrictions and threats, for example: on September 30, 2002 he had been warned with a letter by the government that he and his brother who is a clergy too, don't have permission to continue the Imamate (leadership) of Masjed-e Noor mosque anymore.
