For several years, it has been heard from the media of the ruling body that the sanctities of our country have been insulted from time to time. Anyone hearing this news asks what it has to do with God and His messengers and why such insults occur! After investigation (not the kind of investigations conducted by the parliament that overnight declare the case closed because the esteemed one has said so, but rather from the free media of the world), we find out that it has been said that a certain 'Aghazadeh' received fifteen million dollars from a Norwegian company to be included in an oil tender?! The issue of sanctities is questioning the ruling body and their 'Aghazadehs' and not God and His messengers?! What is clear is that the ruling body, by establishing this idol house, tries to present every action as compliant with Islamic law under the guise of religion and anyone who attempts to reveal that these man-made idols perform no miracles, just like in the days of Arab ignorance, or better to say, the Inquisition school, is condemned to death or imprisonment, whether they are a representative of the people or a free Iranian?! Of course, the custom of this idol house is that respect must be one-sided and only observed by the people, while the other side, since they have been given responsibility by God, have no obligation towards the values of the people, to the extent that one cannot help but shed tears upon hearing certain news. Recently, I heard that the people of the border town of Qasr-e Shirin believe that the Iranian ruling body transferred Iraq's weapons of mass destruction before the fall of Saddam's regime in the form of the bodies of those killed in the war to Iran (surely you have seen the sorrow of mothers who lament the loss of their children!) or that some members of the terrorist Taliban, who take lives daily in various parts of the world, are being kept between Tehran, Qom, and Saveh?! The people of Iran cannot do anything but insult our freedom as long as our axe is not broken, serving as a tool for those who are at war with freedom and will plunder the existence of our country.
