I
would like to express my appreciation for your presence and solidarity today.
With
heavy hearts, we pay homage to 130 defenseless human beings killed and 350
injured in the inferno of fundamentalism and terrorism.
The
conscience of humanity is left scarred by this savagery committed under the
name of God and religion.
The
people of Iran share France’s grief.
PMOI
members in Camp Liberty, who lost 24 comrades in a rocket attack by the Iranian
regime last month, offered their sympathies with the people of France by
holding a memorial at their devastated Camp, which remains in ruins.
In a
tribute, they stood under the national flags of France and Iran, and sang the
Marseillaise and the Iranian national anthem on the rubbles of their Camp.
No
one in the world today can feel the pain of the people of France any better
than those who have been victims of Islamic fundamentalism.
And
we, the people of Iran, the freedom-loving Muslims, are the principal victims
of this evil phenomenon.
Extremism
under the banner of Islam emerged in 1979 with Khomeini seizing power; it has
to date murdered 120,000 political dissidents in Iran.
