We will replace Islamism with Iranism!
SMCCDI (Public Statement)
Mar 13, 2006
The Iranian New Year (Nowrooz) coincides with the beginning of spring. In comparison with other calendars, such as, the lunar calendar, or Islamic calendar, it is somewhat more unique. Nowrooz is a sacred Heritage that is generations old. In many parts of the world and among different nations with different names, they celebrate this annual event.
Nowrooz, a main symbol of Iranism, has an important place in Iranian identity and culture, to the point that even during the Arab, Mongolian, and Alexander occupations of Iran, the people of Iran continued to celebrate this sacred event.
The existing anti-Iranian regime, which rules today, suppresses these ancient traditions and has repeatedly tried to ban them in the name of Islam. Let us not forget that one of the first things the Islamic Republic did, when it came to power, was to change one of Tehran's avenue named "Persepolis", a symbol of Iranian pride, to "Taleghani" (an Islamist cleric). Due to the then silence of Iranians, generated by their fear, the Islamic regime paved the road for the our day's building of the Sivand dam, in order to flood the ancient city of Persepolis and destroy this symbol of ancient Iran.
The next step of the regime was to take the total control of Iranian universities by its fanatic elements and to change these academic institutions into a propaganda and brainwashing tool for the spread of its backwarded and fanatic ideology.
In that line and in an effort to extinguish nationalistic feelings, the universities and higher education colleges were closed, with the help of the so-called Islamist 'intellectuals', for over three years under the label of "Cultural Revolution".
Indeed, the propaganda machine of the Supreme leader has always tried to promote the destruction of the true Iranian culture and national symbols. To better understand, one must compare the small budget which is allocated for preserving Iran's national monuments with the huge sums that are spend for the development of the JamKaran Well and Mosque.
The Islamic Republic regime has always tried, desperately, to replace our ancient Iranian events with Islamic days, such as, Ghadir or Fetr. This policy targets the gradual change of the precise Iranian calendar with the primitive lunar calendar. The anti-Iranian regime is also, desperately, trying to change our proud Iranian culture and heritage with that of backwarded Islamic culture. The dogmatic clerics are also intending to force Iranians to choose Islamic names, such as, Abu Obide or Um-Kolsom instead of Iranian names like Babak, Siavosh or Iran-Dokht.
But Iran's new generations are well aware of such tactics and are understanding that the survival of this barbarian and backwarded regime would equal to the destruction of Iran.
That's why we must take back our historical culture and universities from this despotic regime and coordinate all Nationalist, Secular and Free Thinker forces in order to push back this regime.
Yes, we should not stop till we free totally our land from the hands of the theocratic regime!
The new Iranian generations are well aware of the enemy's tactics, therefore; they will challenge the totality of the Islamic Republic regime at the occasion of "Tchahar-Shanbe Soori" (Fire Fiest) regardless of any official or religious ban.
We will call on our enemy for fight!
The burning of fire bushes will represent Iran's new generations' distaste for the present filthy regime, and in hopes of burning this regime away with giving its ashes to the wind!
Fellow Iranians,, with our massive participation in the "Tchahr-Shanbe Soori" and other Iranian events, we will consolidate our national unity and we will tell to the world, that the current regime is not ours and that does not represent us!
We do believe that we will attract the world's attention and we will astonish everyone with our defiance!
The "Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran" (SMCCDI) is hereby forwarding its early best wishes at the occasion of the upcoming Iranian New Year (On March 20th) and is calling on every Iranian to participate actively in the "Tchahr-Shanbe Soori" (March 14th) and all Iranian Cultural and Nationalistic events and ceremonies. Such participations are positive steps in pushing back the Mullahcracy and to make the world hear our call for Freedom!
