Muhammad had spread Islam by force & occupation; Attacking Mecca & Median, etc. etc. etc. SHow me where peace is part of Islam ? I don't expect that you would have the guts to publish my comments.

All of the caspian nation are one and unique and must be part of the same state as part of iran. not only having their own right to local governing but also saving their culture, language and nation.

Seems to me the US State Department needs to investigate America. These are the same things the US has been guilty of for centuries including right this moment. “The US State Department’s human rights report on Iran stated “the Iranian regime discriminates “on the basis of religion, gender, and ethnicity.”

It is not a ruse for separatism. The provincial administrative structures are already there. It simply requires free and fair elections to appoint a provincial assembly. The alternative would be a centralised state that prioritises the interests of an elite in Tehran, which would in no way engender national unity. The question is not about whether federalism will happen because it will. The debate is about the level of power to be devolved to provincial assemblies and how provincial governments are appointed. For me, this is not the prime issue. I am involved in advocacy and human rights issues for a particular ethnic group in Iran, which has been neglected by those opposition groups that claim to represent national unity. The chief argument is whether or not the current regime discriminates and persecutes on the basis of ethnicity. I believe the argument that it does is irrefutable, given the level of evidence provided by independent NGOs such as Amnesty and UN experts, which I have cited above. What I don't understand is why these opposition groups regard the acknowledgement of this aspect of the regime's oppression as such a threat. I have never argued that Ahwazi Arabs are the only oppressed, just that they suffer oppression based on their ethnicity. Recognition of the current regime's divisive method of oppressing Iranians of certain ethnicities is imperative for any party claiming to work for Iranian national unity. Dismissing this characteristic of the regime as an invention of a British conspiracy is the best way to undermining this unity and preventing these groups from toppling the mullahs. For the record, I did not say that Khuzestan was part of Iran/Persia from 1925. I said that in 1925, Tehran imposed direct rule over what was then called Arabistan, a region that enjoyed considerable autonomy at the time. Federalism is inevitable if Iran becomes democratic.

Khoosestan has been part of Iran since day one not 1925. Go read about the Sassanian Dynesty to get some info about where the center of their empire was. Gondi Shapoor was the firt Persian university which the Sassanians established on the soil of Khoosestan before the advent of Islam. I suggest that you read more about the bondries of Persia. FYI the Islamic Republic has violated every body's rights not only those of the Arabs of Khoosestan. And I think the last thing the Brits need to do is to defend human rights of the people in the region. We all no what crimes you committed in the region for the past 300 years.

Unfortunately the undercover seperatist also pursue the agena of federalism which in fact they admitt hat it is their "first step" approch to seperation hence the rejection of federalism from the oppostion groups. I believe that you will bennefit if you resolve your differences with nationalistic groups as the people of iran recognize themselves in being iranian first of all and then they concider ethnicity,religion etc... I know for fact that having representatives from different ethnicities active inside a nationalistic party are far more effective than have seperate group for each ethnicity.after all we are ll into this together.
