Judge Khomeini’s state of mind for yourself:
Since June 1981, according to estimates published by the Iranian resistance group known as the People’s Mojahedin, the Khomeini regime has put to death some 90,000 Iranians who don’t subscribe to its views. Another 140,000 have been incarcerated.
Thousands of adolescent Iranian boys died in the recent war with Iraq when Khomeini asked them to clear mine fields by running across them. The children were promised they would be martyred and go directly to heaven.
Iranian women who dare appear in public unveiled or who otherwise defy Khomeini’s standards of modesty are routinely jailed, flogged, raped and tortured by prison guards....

Why does the civilized world abide the aberrations of a lunatic like the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini?
The Iranian holy man's latest atrocity — the death decree against British author Salman Rushdie for allegedly blaspheming Islam religion — is an intolerable affront to anyone who believes in the fundamental right to speak and write freely.
Khomeini and his fanatic legions have an inalienable right to worship as they please. But to call for the murder of the citizen of another country because he had the temerity to take issue with the tenets of that religion, particularly in a work of fiction? To offer several million dollars, as some of Khomeini's philanthropic followers have done, to anyone who would assassinate the author? To seek similar retributions against the publishers of Rushdie’s novel, “The Satanic Verses”?
To most of us, these are obnoxious notions. But not, apparently, to many world leaders, caught up as they are in matters of state. After some delay, Britain did order Iran’s sole diplomat out of the country and instruct its representatives in Tehran to return home. And the 12 members of the European Community recalled its heads of mission.
But the Japanese, with eyes greedily fixed on the estimated $190 billion in reconstruction contracts Iran will be signing to repair its war-torn economy, declined comment except for an unnamed official’s remark that Rushdie death threat was “not something to be praised.” The Soviets seem to have little problem exploiting Khomeini’s latest fit with the West by sending Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze to Tehran to meet with the ayatollah.
In the United States, bookstore chains took “The Satanic Verses” off their shelves. Mainstream Christian groups chose not to oppose the Islamic leaders who are calling for a man to be murdered. President George Bush, sounding as if he were criticizing a liturgy, pronounced the death threat “deeply offensive, against the norm of civilized behavior.”
Where is Ronald Reagan when we need him?
It is a mystery to me why Khomeini is accorded even minimal respect by legitimate leaders. Why don’t the free nations of the world deliver him a blunt message: Harm one hair on Rushdie’s head — a solitary strand — and you, holy man, will meet your Allah a bit sooner than you anticipated.
Judge Khomeini’s state of mind for yourself:
Since June 1981, according to estimates published by the Iranian resistance group known as the People’s Mojahedin, the Khomeini regime has put to death some 90,000 Iranians who don’t subscribe to its views. Another 140,000 have been incarcerated.

Iranian women who dare appear in public unveiled or who otherwise defy Khomeini’s standards of modesty are routinely jailed, flogged, raped and tortured by prison guards.
In January, Khomeini sent a letter to Mikhail Gorbachev urging the Soviet leader to forego socialism and take up the study of Islam. The ayatollah suggested the theological center in the Iranian city of Qom as a good place to study. Does this remind anyone of former Ugandan strongman Idi Amin’s offer to move the United Nations to Kampala on the grounds that it was the center of the universe?
What should be done? Here is a layman’s answer:
As long as the Ayatollah Khomeini sits in power, his regime should be ostracized by the rest of the world. No diplomatic contacts. No cultural contacts. Expel him from international forums. Feed the Iranian people and provide them with everything necessary except the one thing they want: respect. Let him rot on Earth before roasting in the particularly hot corner of hell that is surely reserved in his name. — nea
Now khomeini is roasting forever in hades.
That’s ONLY 5 per day, for 47 years.
1900 per year
No wonder these people are terrified
Especially seeing Mojtaba is a homo..
whoops! I didn’t realize this was posted almost 30 years ago
Maybe forward this to our newly crowned Dem Pope.
The current generation has never heard of this.
They were brought up to not be “Islamophobes” lest they upset the sensibilities of the average jihadist...like Khomeini.
The formerly upbeat and open Iranian population of the 1970s was oppressed, murdered as documented here, and their children crushed under the weight of his religious police for the last 47 years so that the openness of the Pahlavi years is now completely forgotten.
Trump’s administration needs to make that fact common knowledge: he’s old enough to remember, but people under 50 have no idea. They do know about 9/11 but even that’s been downplayed by the Left.
If more understood what it was like, there would be more understanding of the administration’s current actions.
thats why democrats love the muzzys. comply, convert or die
Islam religion never has changed graves still being counted.
The sheer number of those killed by their own country is incredible. We see those numbers, knowing that, if anything they are probably an underestimate.
One has to wonder:
Were these bodies buried, dumped into the Caspian Sea,
Incinerated? Awful. Whatever happened with the cadavers was done by other people, not robots.
Contrast that with how America treated it’s war dead during WW1. See Flander’s Fields in Belgium and France, where hundreds of American soldiers have lain in state since the early 20th century.
This is why there is no one to protest and form a new government. They are all dead!
I wonder what the Pope thinks about this?
Nothing but a death cult.
The article was published in 1989, approximately 10 year, so that would be n average of 9,000 deaths and 14,000 prisoners per year
Sometimes the incarceration was worse than death, considering how sick these b*stards are.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF?
90,000 IN 2026?
General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn:
The death toll of the protestors is north of 90K. That was a week ago.

‘The audacity of spitting in the face of an entire nation that’s lost over 90,000 people, murdered by the Islamic Regime for wanting
@PahlaviReza to lead the country from an Islamic Dictatorship to a democracy.
Shame on Toronto Star for calling HRH Reza Pahlavi an “opportunist”.’

#IranMassacre.
According to reports and eyewitness accounts, over 90,000 innocent people have been killed in Iran simply for seeking freedom.
Even one execution destroys not just a life, but an entire family.
Every death leaves wounds that never heal.
