\nThe Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) condemns the brutal and abhorrent killing of the Japanese journalist Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa by the ISIS terrorist group and expresses its condolences and sympathy to their family members.<\/p>\n
This anti-Islamic and inhumane act that has tarnished the dignity of contemporary humanity, more than ever underscores the need for a firm regional and international policy against the extremism and fundamentalism under the cover of religion.<\/p>\n
Terrorism and fundamentalism under the name of Islam is an ominous phenomenon which has turned to a global threat in contemporary history.<\/p>\n
This phenomenon neither rose accidentally nor expanded spontaneously. It was only through the existence of a terror-sponsoring regime; the Velayat-e faqih (absolute clerical rule) in Iran, that Islamic fundamentalism was able to transform itself into a global threat.<\/p>\n
Without the current regime in Iran, these forces would not have mustered such potential and prospects to emerge as destructive political forces.<\/p>\n
Major crimes by the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) and its affiliated terrorists in Iraq and Syria, and the massacres of the people in both these countries allowed for the growth of groups such as ISIS, who have diverted the people’s resistance against dictatorship to the benefit of Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Bashar al-Assad.<\/p>\n
The eviction of the Iranian regime from the countries of the region, particularly from Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, is the first necessary step into ending such terror and horror in the Middle East and the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
