Move over, Khomeini, here comes the Mad Ayatollah Mesbah. Yeah, camel

Watch Out for the Mad Ayatollah Mesbah


Potkin Azarmehr


2005/08/17


Today I had a rare opportunity to tidy up my office. It seems no matter what
I do, piles of paper just seem to mount up. I suppose that is one drawback
of having too many interests in life. There is so much to do and yet life
seems to be too short. Any way, while going through some of my archives of
Iranian dailies, I came across a copy of the Khordad daily from six years
ago. One of the first in a series of dailies which were one by one banned by
the judiciary. The big headlines grabbed my attention:


"Mesbah-Yazdi: If anyone insults the Islamic sanctities, Islam has permitted
for his blood to be spilled, no court needed either"


Of course many of these so-called Western Iran-experts or as my friend Ann
Leslie of the Daily Mail calls them, scallop-salad nibblers, don't even know
who this mad Ayatollah is and how he has risen to power. More importantly
that the mad Ayatollah is also the new selected president's mentor and that
he may even become a rival to the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.


To learn about Mesbah-Yazdi, one needs to become familiar with the Hojjatieh
group. This was a semi-clandestine religious group that was set up in the
1950's during the Shah's time. Soon the group's network spread and many of
its members secretly gained influential positions. The foremost objective of
the group's founder, Sheikh Halabi was to eradicate the Bahaii faith and its
members. Hojjatieh thugs targetted the Bahaii places of worship, gatherings
and cemetries. According to the Shiite version of Islam, the 12th descendant
of prophet Mohammed , Mehdi or the Lord of All Ages, went into hiding when
he was a child, some 1300 years ago. Shiites believe he will reappear again
when the world has become full of oppression and tyranny. Bahaiis on the
other hand believe that their prophet, Sheikh Bahaollah, was the
reincarnation of Mehdi and he has already appeared and spread the Bahaii
faith.


Members of the Hojjatieh group think such a suggestion is blasphemy, for the
coming of the Lord of All Ages shall be the end of the world as it is.
Interestingly, and this is where the West really has to understand what is
going on in Iran, the Hojjatieh group took no part in the 1979 revolution.
For they actually believe in the spread of tyranny and oppression. They
argue that if the Lord of All Ages is to appear when the world is full of
oppression and tyranny, then we ought to help spread evil, tyranny and
oppression in order to facilitate the coming of the 12th Imam, Mehdi. If you
stand in the way of tyranny and oppression then you delay the coming of the
Lord of All Ages, the Hojjatieh argue.


Please read the above carefully, then think about nuclear technology at the
hands of these people and how they yearn for the coming armageddon.


Ayatollah Khomeini actually frowned the Hojjatieh and the group was
nominally dissolved in 1983, yet they secretly continued to maintain and
strengthen their network. Mesbah-Yazdi nicknamed the "alligator", amongst
the Iranian population, is a chief ideologue of the Hojjatieh group who was
actually made redundant during Khomeini's years but let me explain how he
rose to power.


After Khomeini's death, all of the main Shiite Grand Ayatollahs (Sources of
Emulation for the Shiite faithful) rejected Khameni's theologian credentials
as a Grand Ayatollah, essential for him to become the new Supreme Leader,
except for two. One of them was Mesbah-Yazdi and the other, the now chief of
judiciary, the Iraqi born, Ayatollah Shahroodi. Thus Mesbah came back again
from obscurity and in return for his services to establish the new Supreme
Leader, he asked for funds and facilities to run the Imam-Khomeini
institute. On the surface, the role of this institute is to spread the
teachings of Khomeini. In reality however, Messbah-Yazdi used the funds and
the means at his disposal to once again strengthen the network of the
Hojjatieh group. Until now Mesbah-Yazdi and Khamanei have served each other
well, with the announcement of the new cabinet and the re-emergence of the
Hojjatieh group, the "alligator" may now even be tempted to push aside the
Supreme Leader.


One thing is for certain though, with all the oil money, and now all the key
power positions in their hand, and most importantly the nuclear technology,
things have never looked so good for the Hojjatieh group to plan the coming
of the Lord of All Ages, the Imam Zaman, the Mehdi.


If you think I am scaremongering, then don't take my words for it, if you
want to believe the CNN, and the BBC and the John Simpsons and all the rest
of the PC Western mass media that the last presidential elections in Iran
was fair and free, you are entitled to your opinion but just remember how
incensed Ayatollah Tavassoli, the former chief of staff of Ayatollah
Khomeini, was at the "fraudulent and despicable" way the faction crowned
their own man, and how he voiced alarm that the leaders of the Hojjatieh
group were now practically in control of the executive branch and the
Revolutionary Guards, and the new selected president being under their
domination.


Watch the selected president's mentor, Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi inaugurate his
protegee:
