It’s a chance to act before it’s too late...


Ken Blackwell, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in his article published by American Thinker talk about Islamic fundamentalism:



In Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, and beyond, the fingerprints of Iranian extremism have left only destruction and fueled the other side of the coin when it comes to global terror. This same regime, whose practices on its own soil and through its proxies mirrors IS, is driving ever closer toward the world’s most dangerous weapon, the nuclear bomb.



What’s more, this collaboration is ongoing, as reported recently by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the same organization that revealed the existence of Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment site and Arak heavy water facility in 2002.

On June 13, those who are deeply worried by the status quo will have a chance to make a case for a different path.  The conference, based in Paris and put on in support of the NCRI, builds on the success of a 100,000-person conference last year.
Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of NCRI, will continue to make the case that she made while testifying before Congress in April.  And she is not alone.
Over 100,000 participants and dignitaries from over 60 countries will join Iranian resistance, led by  Maryam Rajavi, to address the rising tide of Islamic fundamentalism and the Iranian nuclear program.

The voices of these leaders and world-renowned experts will also be joined by thousands of Iranians whose brothers and sisters in Iran are brutally repressed. Their voices not only tell of the threat Iran poses, but also testify to the popularly supported democratic alternative to the Iranian regime.  It may not happen tomorrow, or even the next day, but Iran’s actions at home and across the region exposes the leadership's hardline, irrational beliefs and the importance of the alternative these Iranians represent.

So instead of sitting passively while a few government figures decide our future and the fate of billions, tune in to the conference and hear what they have to say. On June 13, leaders on the issue will address the prospects and conditions for a nuclear agreement and what an effective policy in combating Islamic fundamentalism and the Iranian regime should look like.  It’s a chance for nuanced discussion, meaningful debate, and positive change.
