exiled groups seek Mullahs overthrow
This is not a traditional Rantburg news article.

Rather it is an (edited) email sent by Armen Saginian, an Iranian exile living in the US, who is trying to secularise Islam and mount an ideological challenge to the Mullahs. He wants religion OUT of Iranian politics and schools. He has set up a number of organisations such as AA-18, and New Horizons, and published secular books and distributed them in Iran (no mean feat). He needs help and support from the US.
He is a weapon against the Mullahs.

These are his worries, btw: I have no idea what he means by a laic society nor who half these people are, but Rantburgers will know.


Situation has forced us to contact you in this way and manner

· Why is Mr. Michael Ladeen back in the picture?
· Why are the Shiite clerics congregating in Iraq?
· Are we about to create another Islamist Iran in Iraq?
· Prince Reza Pahlavi is not the solution.
· Mr. Asadollah Morovati together with Michael Ladeen is not the solution.
· Iranian youth inside and outside of the country are the solution.
· We just concluded an anti-Islamic mini-convention in Washington D.C.
· We are planning a fully dedicated, three-day, free-Iran & anti-Islamist convention in Los Angeles for October or November.
· Our aim is not only a secularist government, but also a laic society for Iran.
· Give us one tenth of the $5 million designated to topple the regime in Iran, and we will produce ten-fold of the work that the rest of the money will.
· Old political scenario writers are going from city to city trying to drum-up old and burned-out figureheads to present to the White House as a valid alternative opposition. Group.

How can we help?

Respectfully,
Armen A. Saginian
