Parrots in Parliament: Politicians Jump on Terrorist Bandwagon
Maryam Rajavi, one of the leaders of the Iranian terrorist organisation, People's Mujahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI), was on a visit to Finland on 11-12 March 2010. Ms Rajavi met with many Finnish politicians, public officials, church leaders, and other public figures. I wrote several letters to MPs, ministers, and officials urging them to reject any contact with Ms Rajavi and her representatives. Some of the responses I got were less than satisfactory, while others served as evidence of the sane judgment of many of our elected representatives.
Maryam Rajavi should be in jail
I wrote several letters to Finnish politicians and public officials urging them not to have any contact with the Iranian terrorist leader Maryam Rajavi and her representatives. Below is my letter to former Conservative MEP Piia-Noora Kauppi, who has a long-standing relationship to Ms Rajavi's organisation. Ms Kauppi is now Managing Director of the Federation of Finnish Financial Services. Dear Piia-Noora Kauppi,I am writing to you to express my deepest concern about the recent visit to Finland of Maryam Rajavi, one of the leaders of the People's Mujahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI). I have learned that you have cooperated with organisations that Ms Rajavi represents for some time. I wish you would hold human rights foremost in your mind when considering your attitude toward organisations that use or have used terrorism to further their political aims.
Finnish MPs fall under Rajavi's spell
Finland's political elite has fallen under the spell of the Rajavi cult. The Iranian terrorist leader Maryam Rajavi has ensnared legislators in several countries and the European Parliament. When two MKO terrorists were detained in Finland, few really knew what the group stood for. Before her "charm offensive" targeting political leaders in Europe and elsewhere, Maryam Rajavi ordered her cult members to kill their own people and to attack the Iraqi Kurds at the behest of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. See the Al Jazeera documentary about the MKO.

Two cult leaders held summit in Finland
Archbishop Jukka Paarma of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland met with Maryam Rajavi, leader of the CIA-backed Iranian terrorist organisation, People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), in Turku on 12 March 2010. Rajavi called on the Finnish Lutheran Church to support PMOI's base in Iraq, Camp Ashraf, the church reported. "Around 3,400 PMOI members are living in difficult conditions in Camp Ashraf," Paarma told local daily Turun Sanomat. "Representatives of different churches have written letters about the issue. I will meet with some ministers of the Finnish government over the weekend, let us see what can be done about the matter," the archbishop said. The church's press office reported that the goal of Rajavi's "National Resistance Council of Iran" is "to develop Iran into a democratic state that respects human rights, and where religion and state are separated." Turun Sanomat did do some googling and recalled that PMOI was, until very recently, on the EU's list of terrorist organisations. The church quoted Rajavi as saying that religious leaders should "uphold universal ethical values." Rajavi expressed a wish that she could one day receive the archbishop in a Christian church in Tehran. Maybe she will invite the archbishop to PMOI's parade? The Finnish Lutheran Church has a long tradition of blessing military parades.
No mercy
As the Iranian authorities vowed "no mercy" to its opponents -- i.e., the people, -- the regime herded thousands of its supporters to state-sponsored rallies. As expected, there were chants to execute the leaders of the opposition Green Movement.
Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's deposed Shah, urged countries to withdraw their ambassadors from Tehran to protest against the regime's bloody crackdown. He noted the "revolutionary atmosphere" in Iran, saying that people wanted a secular democracy. At the same time, a group of British MPs, the "British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom," issued a statement parroting the propaganda of the "Rajavi cult." Alas, the Iranian revolution is finally here, yet nobody wants Rajavi to lead it.Venezuela blamed the US for "destabilizing Iran" by instigating violent protests there. Hugo Chavez's Foreign Ministry condemned the destabilization attempts "by the US government against the government and people of Iran."
