Dte : Jan.13, 2003.

To: 1. Supreme Leader of I.R. Iran Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Tehran, IRAN
2. Secretary of House-e-Elmieh Qom, QOM, IRAN
3. The Chief Justice of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, IRAN
cc to: a. Muslim organizations; b. Muslim Gov’ts; c. Press and Media as PRESS RELEASE

CALL TO IRANIAN ULEMA TO STRIP PRESIDENT KHATAMI OF HIS ISLAMIC CREDENTIALS, TURBAN & CLOAK FOR REFERRING PRINCIPLES OF THE HOLY QURAN AND THE SUNNAH AS FOSSILS AND RIDICULING OBEDIENCE & DEVOTION TO THE WAY OF ALLAH PRESCRIBED IN THE HOLY QURAN & SUNNAH AS FOSSILIZED HABITS AND ATTITUDES BASED ON ILLUSIONS AND ANTIQUATED HABITS.

I, Kazi Abu Ehsan Muhammad Azizul Huque son of Kazi Abu Zafor Muhammad Abdul Huque, an obedient slave of Allah, being the founder convener of the Council of Islamic Revolutionaries of Bangladesh (otherwise known as Hezbollah) do hereby call the true believer pious Islamic Clergy of the Islamic Republic of Iran to strip President Khatami of Iran of his Islamic credentials, turban and cloak for referring the principles of the Holy Quran and Sunnah as fossils and ridiculing obedience & devotion to the way of Allah prescribed in the Holy Quran & Sunnah as fossilized habits and attitudes based on illusions and antiquated habits.

I read a report in the Pakistan Observer of 13th December, 2002, captioned “US, Taliban anti-Islamic forces : Khatami” which implies that the injunctions of the Holy Quran and the way of life practiced by Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammadur Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihissalm) is considered by President Khatami as fossils and ugly.

I have waited for a month to see whether President Khatami disowns or amends the statement. But he has not. So it is confirmed that he owns the statement.

What the Talebans implemented are generally accepted by the truly believer pious Islamic Clergy and spiritualists as a revival of Islamic tradition of the age of the Holy Prophet (SM). So far I remember, sometime in 2001 A.D., to contain rising crime in Iran Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati in his Juma Khotba in Tehran called for considering implementation of Islamic injunctions practiced by Taleban Government.

I think, the Talebans are intelligent, rational and abreast of time. They used fire arms, vehicles and aircrafts to fight the enemies instead of swords and horses of the age of the Holy Prophet (SM). Their leader Mollah Mohammad Omar, like may other pious Sunni Ulemas, avoided pictures and videos of living being. But he was very wise and did not try to impose his own opinion on all others. He did not quarrel with Osama and other Muslim combatants who used photography and videos for record and propagation. The Islamic and governmental injunctions which the Talebans tried to implement in Afghanistan were generally adopted by the consensus of the Ulemas of Afghanistan based on the sources of the Holy Quran, Sunnah, Fiqha and culture of Afghanistan. I understand that late Imam Khomeni (r.a.) did the same thing in Iran after the Islamic Revolution which at that time was truly the greatest achievement of Islam since the European Renaissance.

I hope, President Khatami does not represent Ahle Shiia of Iran. If the Iranian nation fails to impeach Khatami, the Iranian nation is expected to pay a very high cost for it. Vulnerability of Iran is growing fast since the Taleban Gov’t left Kabul & Kandahar. I pray to Allah that the current Iranian ruling elite be humiliated and terminated if they do not form alliance with the partisans of Mollah Mohammad Omar (may the Shade and Blessings of Allah be with him).

I remain, an obedient slave of Allah,

(Kazi Abu Ehsan Muhammad Azizul Huque)

Khatami terms Taliban, US two blades of scissors against Islam
Tehran, Dec 12, IRNA -- Iran's President Mohammad Khatami here Wednesday described hardline Taliban and their imperialist opponents, obviously the United States, as two blades of the same scissors, which worked to ruin God's religion.
"God's religion today is lying between the two blades of a very dangerous pair of scissors: One blade is the Islam of Taliban, while the other is trying to impose war, hatred, animosity and imperialism on the whole world under the pretext of (fighting) the Islam of Taliban," he told at the inauguration of a paintings exhibition.
"The Islam of Taliban belongs to those who are portraying the beautiful religion of God as ugly with their repellent views and backward ideology as well as their fossilized habits and rigid-mindedness and their attitude towards religion is based on a bunch of illusions and antiquated habits.
"On the opposite side are those powers that are trying to tarnish the image of God's religion, which has turned to a source of uprising for freedom and independence and threat to illegitimate interests of hegemonic powers in many countries," Khatami added.
US has mounted on a self-styled worldwide campaign against terrorism after the September 11 attack on American landmarks, which Washington blames on al-Qaeda and their Afghan-based Taliban allies.
Khatami called on Islamic artists to portray "beauties of God's religion" and show how to free oneself from "existing ugliness".
"The world people today are under the yoke of many repressive systems which have been indulging in killing chances of progress and development among nations and are paying no attention to human rights.
"Dependence, despise, violation of human rights are among the ugliness which exists in our world. An artist must see these and invite world nations to freedom.
"Meanwhile, all Muslim artists, thinkers and statesmen must strive for properly portraying the beauties of God's religion and refrain from remaining silent," the Iranian president went on to say.
Khatami cited the Zionist Israeli regime's daily atrocities against the Palestinian people in occupied lands among ugly pictures of the world.
"Can a committed artist remain silent towards the oppression which the Palestinian people are being subjected to and not call for the establishment of a government in their lands?" he said.
"Can a Muslim accept that some people bear children or are born and die in camps while their land is held occupied by those who have come from the other corner of the world?," Khatami added.
