Benghazi 2012

MEK delisted 2012

 

In 2012, the US State Department would delist anti-Iranian terrorist group – Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) – from its Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list. Yet years later, MEK has demonstrated an eager desire to carry out political violence on a scale that eclipses the previous atrocities that had it designated a terrorist organization in the first place.

 

In the US State Department’s official statement published in September 2012, the rationale for delisting MEK would be as follows (emphasis added):

 

With today’s actions, the Department does not overlook or forget the MEK’s past acts of terrorism, including its involvement in the killing of U.S. citizens in Iran in the 1970s and an attack on U.S. soil in 1992. The Department also has serious concerns about the MEK as an organization, particularly with regard to allegations of abuse committed against its own members.

 

The Secretary’s decision today took into account the MEK’s public renunciation of violence, the absence of confirmed acts of terrorism by the MEK for more than a decade, and their cooperation in the peaceful closure of Camp Ashraf, their historic paramilitary base.

 

Yet US policy before the State Department’s delisting, and events ever since, have proven this rationale for removing MEK as an FTO to be an intentional fabrication – that MEK was and still is committed to political violence against the Iranian people, and envisions a Libya-Syrian-style conflict to likewise divide and destroy the Iranian nation.

 

However, facts regarding the true nature of MEK is not derived from Iranian state media, or accusations made by MEK’s opponents in Tehran, but by MEK’s own US sponsors and even MEK’s senior leadership itself.

Islamic Gemstones:

 

In Islam, a practice of wearing gemstones developed from legends associated with Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of the prophet Muhammad. Ali is said to have worn four rings on his hand with four different gemstones, the Arabic names of which are aqiq, yaqut, feruz and hadid theen. The five important Islamic gemstones include the following:

 

Carnelian (Aqiq)Carnelian CabochonAqiq () sometimes spelled aqeeq) is believed to refer to the gemstone carnelian . This is generally regarded to be the most important gemstone in Islam. The Prophet was said to have worn a silver ring on his right hand with an Abyssinian stone (probably a type of agate , such as carnelian), with the stone facing toward the palm. Ali was said to have worn a carnelian to protect himself from enemies and misfortune.

The term yaqut is less clear. It is often translated as opal , and it is said that Ali wore yaqut for "beauty and dignity". But many scholars believe the term yaqut refers to ruby and this view seems more widely accepted.

Clowns OUT

 

Due to heightened tensions in Iraq and the region, the U.S. Embassy urges American citizens to heed the January 2020 Travel Advisory and depart Iraq immediately. U.S. citizens should depart via airline while possible, and failing that, to other countries via land.
