An Iraqi official disclosed the close relationship and cooperation between the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as the MEK, NCRI and PMOI) and al-Qaeda terrorist group.“The MKO committed numerous crimes against the Iraqi people during Saddam’s era and after the US invasion of the country and the government has many documents showing links between the MKO and several leaders of al-Qaeda….
The American political analyst added that, even in the West, the MEK is known as one of the world’s most vicious and extremist terrorist groups. “The 2012 US de-listing and subsequent support of the MEK is an extreme example of the characteristic hypocrisy that guides US policy on terrorism.”
The MEK intensified their terrorist operations in August 1981. In their biggest terrorist operation they destroyed by explosion the office of the National Security Council killing Prime Minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar and President Mohammad Ali Rajaei who had been elected only three months before…The MEK who were based in England claimed the responsibility of the bombing. They also officially claimed the responsibility of assassinating religious leaders in different cities..
… The Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization, which killed 6 US citizens in 1970s and some 12000 innocent Iranians during the past three decades, opened its Washington office, earlier in April, just a block away White House. Is the Obama administration really unaware of the group’s crimes? Or they believe that the leopard can change its spots? …
A report presented to the Jordanian intelligence chief Genera clearly points to the arrival in Jordan of large numbers of PMOI – People’s Mujahedeen of Iran, a terror organization – where they met with Syrian opposition leaders…
What is of considerable importance to be discussed is the unspoken consensus of Western countries on the least probability of recognizing MKO/MEK/PMOI as an alternative for Iranian government as they have come to know the futility of instrumental use of the organization against Iran. It remains a question that the European countries, despite their fundamental fraction….
MKO is referred to as a cult 88 times in this report. It is stated in the report ‘an examination of MKO activities establishes its cultic practices and its deceptive recruitment and public relations strategies.’ Elsewhere in the same document it is stated: ‘Rajavi instituted what he termed an “ideological revolution” in 1985, which, over time, imbued the MKO with many of the typical characteristics of a cult, such as authoritarian control, confiscation of assets, sexual control (including mandatory divorce and celibacy),
Criticism in the MKO is unheard-of. While the group first founders started out with the rather good intentions, its current leaders Massoud and Maryam rajavi have definitely lost sight of the early presumable goals – the freedom of Iranian people, freedom of speech…. .In the face of any sort of criticism the MKO leaders and members – well manipulated – immediately respond with the same threadbare accusations that….
Massoud Banisadr former member of the MKO speaks of the effective cult indoctrinations on members. In his interview with Steve Hassan, a cult expert explains that how a cult member can simply be radicalized to set himself on fire – as the MKO members did in June 2003 – and launch terror acts. He asserts that the MKO trained the first women suicide operators….
Assassination of Javad Saeidi in autumn 1973 by the so called Muslim leadership of the MKO and assassination of Sharif Vaqefi in spring 1975 by the Marxist leadership of the cult are no different in their natures. Both of these assassinations have taken place as a result of the cult’s belief in Stalinism and physical removal. From the MKO’s point of view, not only such assassinations can’t be blamed, but also they are done to
