The Iranian reformist/opposer of theocratic rule Ayatollah Mohammad Kazemeni Boroujerdi has been arrested on nonsense charges by the totalitarian theocratic regime of Iran.
Boroujerdi had written to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, Pope Benedict XVI and other leaders seeking their protection.
"I believe people are fed up with political religion and want traditional religion to return," Boroujerdi was quoted as saying.
(...)
Iranian authorities had charged Boroujerdi with lacking sufficiently senior religious credentials to speak out on the matter. They also accused him effectively of sacrilege, charging that he claimed that he was the representative of the twelfth Imam, hidden from his enemies in the ninth century after other leaders were slain, who Shiite Muslims believe will return one day to redeem society.
Another crackdown on dissent by the Iranian regime.
Boroujerdi just might be a "moderate". Who knows whether he would also have called for a rejection of the totalitarianism, oppression, intolerance, supremacism, imperialism and jihadism of Islam? Maybe that was the fear of the reformophobic Islamofascist leaders. Boroujerdi might've inspired his followers to reject the bad stuff about Islam and push for a new kind of Islam, which would be tolerable by the Free World. Maybe we'll never know, for the Islamofascists have once again silenced speech they didn't like.
