Iranian Opposition Leader: Defeat of Assad's Dictatorship, Prerequisite to Conquering ISIS



PARIS, January 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

While describing 2015 as a harsh year for the Middle East with "bloodbaths in Syriaand Iraq" and a difficult year for Iranian people due to heightened suppression of women and religious minorities and "because of nearly 1,000 executions under the so-called moderate Rouhani government", Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi assessed that the Iranian regime and the terrorist group Daesh (ISIS or ISIL) faced serious setbacks in 2015 and that 2016 could dawn a new era in defeating Islamic fundamentalism.

"Daesh can be conquered. However, the first step in doing so, is to defeat [Bashar] Assad's dictatorship that fosters Daesh with the backing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps", Rajavi told a New Year ceremony on Sunday at the headquarters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in a northern suburb of Paris.

Regarding the challenge of the civilized world in dealing with the threat of Islamic fundamentalism, she underscored "the world can free itself from fundamentalism only when the clerical regime in Iran, that is the epicenter of fundamentalism, is overthrown." She called on the world community to respect the Iranian people's struggle for the overthrow of the mullahs and to adopt a firm policy to expel the Iranian regime from Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen.

I know few who would not agree that Assad must go, the question is what will replace him. It seems the choice is Sunni hardliners or Shia hardliners. From the perspective of other minorities in Syria. Neither the Sunnis nor the Shia are going to go out of their way to protect Alawites, Yazidis or Christians.

With the exception of the Kurds the minorities in Syria have no other choice but to pray that Assad stands. At least he's not raping and killing them. After regime changes in Iraq and Libya worked out so well we should be hesitant to leave even more of a vacuum in Syria..
