Ex- Senior U.S. officials: Maryam Rajavi’s congressional appearance, a right move

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi is scheduled to testify in a hearing “ISIS: Defining the Enemy” via videoconference on Wednesday before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, chaired by Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX).
The former senior US officials said:“As a Muslim women advocating a tolerant and democratic interpretation of Islam, individual freedom, separation of religion and state, gender equality, and rejecting the implementation of Sharia law, Mrs. Rajavi represent the opposite of the misogynous Iranian regime’s rules and all Islamic fundamentalists and extremists.”

Listen to all Iranian voices

In dealing with a dictatorship, it is simple prudence to listen to its critics. Even more so when the regime involved is the most active state-sponsor of terrorism, is unscrupulously meddling in affairs of other countries, and is marching towards obtaining nuclear weapons.  It should be evident the regime in focus is the theocracy ruling Iran.But the US Congress is trying to fill up the void in the US foreign policy. The House Foreign Affairs Committee has scheduled for Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian opposition leader to address a hearing titled “ISIS: Defining the Enemy” through videoconference from her group’s headquarters in Paris, France. It is timely for House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Ed Royce (R-CA), Ranking Member Eliot Engel (D-NY) and Subcommittee Chair on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, Judge Ted Poe (R-TX) to include Mrs. Rajavi as part of their panel. Other committees who examine terrorism, non-proliferation, human rights violations, national security, and defense should follow this example and get information first-hand.

Rajavi’s plan for future of Iran supports and is committed to the abolition of death penalty.

“The Iranian-American communities all over the country are encouraged by this opportunity, since this is the time for the voice of the Iranian people, who have been victims of Islamic fundamentalism to be heard by the U.S. Congress,” OIAC-US statement said.

“Mrs. Rajavi has presented a cultural alternative to the Islamic fundamentalist rulers in Iran as well as those in ISIS. Mrs. Rajavi's movement has decades of experience in fighting the clerical rulers of Iran.”

The National Council of Resistance of Iran President-Elect to Testify Before Congress

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. -First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, December 15, 1791.

Maryam Rajavi

Congress intended the First Amendment to permit a wide range of opinions and views and produce a free exchange of ideas even if they are at odds with tradition. According to political myth, Otto von Bismarck said, “If you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made.” Sausage-making, however, is an authoritarian process. Testimonies from multiple witnesses are an effective way to democratize the legislative process.
All-Source Threat Assessment
For threat assessment to begin with the answer rather than to hear multiple witnesses is to put the cart before the horse. To say that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, aka ISIS) defines the threat prejudges the outcome in favor of an orthodoxy that may actually play into the hands of this terrorist group. Sensational videos of hostage beheadings leaked to the media become the breaking news of the day and may inadvertently aid recruitment for ISIS.
The House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade is to hold a hearing entitled, “ISIS: Defining the Enemy,” April 29, 2015. The subtitle opens the door to all-source threat assessment. The intelligence community uses information from discounted and unorthodox sources as leads to compare with official estimates; likewise, Congress welcomes information from a variety of sources, including dissident testimony as leads in formulating legislation.
Why it is Important for Dissidents to Testify before Congress
Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, invited Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-Elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), to testify via teleconference from Paris at the Defining the Enemy hearing. NCRI is a coalition of opposition groups that does not accept the legitimacy of the Iranian regime. It is important to hear from such dissidents because they hold different views of defining the threat than traditional interpretations.
Is Maryam Rajavi the right person to testify? She is the right person: As a prodemocracy woman with a moderate view of Islam, Rajavi represents the opposite of the misogynous Iranian regime’s rulers; they are authoritarian, suppress women, and hold an extreme view of Islam.
