Opposition to terrorism and at the same time friendship with its supporters

Ali Mokhtari

These days we are faced with a new chaos in the world, called the Islamic State or ISIS. It claims to be the wealthiest terrorist group in the world and there are many hunches about how it is financed. The strongest hunch about these terrorists, who easily decapitate many innocent people, is that the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, in particular, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, finance them. The Conservative government has sent Canadian fighters to bombard the positions of this group, as have done the same countries which are said to be financing the group, but it is just a political show. In a report published on November 2, it was disclosed that the diplomats of ISIS are in Doha. Neither are those Sunni Arab countries willing to control ISIS, nor is the Harper administration really opposed to it. For more information, see here and here.

Let’s forget about the many Arab states supporting ISIS, and talk only about Saudi Arabia, the land to which the terrorists are mostly linked. There is rarely a terrorist with radically religious beliefs who has nothing to do with this country. We need only have a look at the list of people who were allegedly involved in the 9/11 incident. According to formal reports, most of them were the subjects of Saudi Arabia. This country does not have a good background in respecting human rights; indeed, women there still do not enjoy even the most basic human rights. It does not have a constitution and is still run like a primitive tribe. ادامه ی نوشته

The Canadian foreign minister continues to violate Iranians’ rights

The Canadian foreign minister still insists on violating Iranians’ rights and discriminating against them on no legal basis.

What is the story?

Almost everybody knows about the sanctions imposed by the Canadian government on Iran and Iranian residents. According to these illegal and inappropriate sanctions, any financial transactions between Canadian institutions and citizens with the Iranian government and Iranian residents are prohibited, except for certain situations. On the other hand, the Canadian law authorizes the foreign minister to consider the applications of the Iranians who request to be excluded from these sanctions and to issue permissions for them on an ad hoc basis. Only a few of these requests had been responded to from November 2011 when the sanctions law was passed to mid-2012. However, no other requests have been considered except for a very small number since then.

In the beginning, the requests were promised to be considered and responded to in 16 weeks. But now, the applicants have been waiting for two years, which is totally unacceptable. The majority of these applicants are those who have applied for immigration to Canada, accepted by the provincial governments through different programs, and need to get permission from the foreign ministry in order to be able to transfer their assets and complete their immigration process in accordance to the Canadian Law.
