Islamic Fundamentalist Regime of Iran Uses Women to Recruit for Suicide Bombings in the Middle East

Boston, MA- In a bold move the ruling fundamentalist regime in Iran has begun sponsoring the registration of volunteers for suicide bombings in the Middle East.

According to the “Committee for Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement” NGO, a front organization set up by the notorious Revolutionary Guards of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the suicide operations will target the Coalition Forces in Iraq, Israelis in the Middle East and the author Salman Rushdie whose death decree was issued by Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989.

Mrs. Forooz Rejaeifar, a former newspaper publisher and hostage taker of the Islamic Republic of Iran, heads this NGO and recruits members during Friday prayers and in mosques. Mrs. Rejaeifar is on the record claiming this effort is “prescribed by our faith”, referring to Islam.

So far 15,000 have registered and the clerical regime’s Secretary of the Guardian Council, Ayatollah Jannati, has officially encouraged people to volunteer in his Friday prayer sermon two weeks ago. “It is the duty of every Muslim” he said, “to stand against the United States and Britain and attack their interests.”

The Women’s Forum Against Fundamentalism in Iran strongly condemns such activities and declares Rejaeifar as puppet of the Iranian regime. We encourage all freedom loving people to join us in this condemnation and help stop the spread of Islamic Fundamentalism and its terrorist plots. We believe the only way to reach peace and stability in the region is through a democratic change in Iran where rights and freedom of all individuals, especially women, is guaranteed based on Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
