Ayatollah Revolts in Iran, Demands Secular Government
Quote:
BREAKING NEWS - AYATOLLAH REVOLTS IN IRAN
Breaking news - Saturday (PST) - After Midnight Sunday - Tehran time (TT)
LATEST UPDATE - all phones in the area of the Ayatollah's house have been disconnected and his numbers, which worked till just now have a recording saying "they never existed".
Monitored from live communication with Iran and the Ayatollah Boroujerdi himself by Voice of Iran Radio (KRSI) and local citizens calling in from Tehran to KRSI.
Shots were being fired around the Ayatollah's home at Sard (cold) Park, Avesta Avenue, Sard Street #9 close to Freedom Square. Fires are springing up in the region at major intersections. Ambulance sirens scream futiley as Tehran citizens pour toward that address blocking streets to prevent Security forces from getting close but also blocking the paramedics and ambulances.
Distress calls from wounded men and women fill the air waves as what they describe as total war is erupting. KRSI, which covers all of Iran, constantly broadcasts calls for the populace to rise up, urging them to make the most of this opportunity.
Said Ghayem-Maghami, the announcer of KRSI repeatedly urges all provinces, cities, professions to revolt against the current regime. He also broadcasts live all suggestions provided by Tehran citizens to wake everyone up and let them know something is up.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi, blockaded on the roof of his home, has used the phone contact broadcast with KRSI to declare that anyone in the Security forces who respects him as their spiritual source should lay down their arms and not harm anyone.
Other Ayatollahs like Mehdi Haeri have come on live to urge the people not to set gas stations on fire or do other damage as these sugestions phoned into KRSI come from the Security forces agents.
Ayatollah Haeri added that fasting during this crisis in the month of Ramadan is not required, giving the example of the urgency of a house catching on fire compared to a lower urgency of fasting. He insisted that religion and politics has to be separate and that the populace should support the brve efforts of Ayatollah Boroujerdi.
Meanwhile Mohssein Ejai, Minister of Information and Security (MOIS), has promised Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he will bring him Ayatollah Boroujerdi's severed head before dawn.
In the first serious clash with the old guard Mullahs, the Hojatieh fringe sect of the Ahmadi-Nejad administration sent security forces around 10 a.m. (Tehran time) Saturday, to arrest Ayatollah Seyed Hossein Kazeymeni Boroujerdi, son of the Ayatollah of the same name, killed by the Khomeini Islamic regime.
His father was so respected by the late Shah of Iran that when questions about religion arose for which the Shah wanted advice, the monarch would drive down to the holy city of Qom to speak to the Ayatollah instead of ordering him to Tehran.
The younger Ayatollah Boroujerdi recently declared that the national Administrative Government of Iran should be separated from the Clerics and become purely secular. Religion and Politics must be separated he said, live on KRSI.
The current Islamic regime's reaction was to issue death warrant for him falsely claiming apostasy by him because he was said by them to have claimed to be the 12th Imam, who disappeared down a well 1300 years ago and will return to redeem the world.
His followers resisted the efforts of the Security Agents sent during the afternoon to capture the Ayatollah and the on-going confrontation has resulted with multiple arrests, estimated by the Ayatollah himself in a live phone interview as being several thousand people. His people, who rushed to protect him also took several security agents hostage, finding bottles of acid in their pockets, intended to disfigure demonstrators.
The mostly foreign, generally Arab national, Bassiji paramilitary forces, whose total role is to suppress any street demonstration and have been recently equipped with over $500 million of equipment and weaponry and appear in both civilian clothes and uniforms, attacked on motorcycles but were repulsed and several of their motorcycles set on fire.
They brought in eight tanker trucks that propel boiling water onto demonstrators but streets were soon blocked and their efforts curtailed. Currently, regime forces have surrounded the area and blocked major access. Clashes at crossroads initially drove security forces back but reinforcements managed to set up a cordon and hold it.
One panicked caller to KRSI at around 2:15 a.m. (TT) screamed that he had been spotted by the regime mercenaries and had been given refuge inside a nearby house but that the agents were kicking in the door. He pleaded with KRSI to give out his name and remind people that he was about to be arrested and might never be seen again.
Several of those wounded and finding refuge in Ayatollah Boroujerdi's house were women. One an Armenian woman, not a Moslem, called on minorities and specially Armenians, to rush to the Ayatollah's support and to come into the streets. Another woman, a baby in her arms, a club in her hand was seen standing guard at Ayatollah Boroujerdi's ready to face anything the regime would throw at her. Including confiscating the bread and food that those at the residence required to break their Ramadan fast.
Calls by Tehranis demanded Ahmad Hossein Khomeini, the Islamic regime founder's grandson and Ayatollah Montazeri, should join in the resistance and defend Ayatollah Boroujerdi. Other calls wanted the late Shah's son Reza Pahlavi to join the fray and call on the West to provide tangible support to his countrymen in their time of need at this moment of opportunity.
Another caller mentioned that every single one of about 300,000 Bahais in Iran had been recently identified and listed, including their addresses, and wondered if this was an indicator that a slaughter of these thorns in the side of the Hojatieh as about to happen. Bahais claim to follow their spiritual leader is the 12th Imam, who has already returned.
Meanwhile, in a dramatic gesture of defiance, Ayatollah Boroujerdi carrying his burial shroud and a sword paces the roof of his home.
Observers and analysts hope that if the resistance can survive through the night, in the morning, people who sleep unaware of what is going on will join the uprising. Some of those woken up at random by phone calls showed very little interest, responding that replacing one Mullah with another gets them nowhere, so why risk their lives.

Holy crap! If this is really going on and keeps up, this could be huge! A good amount of the people in Iran do not approve of the current government and would much rather live in a democracy. It would be incredibly wonderful if the people of Iran would get rid of the current government and reform themselves rather than any outside force having to get involved. The people there know that, were it not for the Islamic Revolution, Iran would be the major power in the middle east, both politically and economically.

You have to be really, really suspicious about sites like this. It would be great if true, but at best this is embellished, and at worst it's complete lies.

Not every revolution against a dictatorial regime, installs a democratic one afterwards.

My sentiments exactly. I'm waiting for BBC/NYT/etc to post a story.

Here's an article on it from the New York Times:

Iran Arrests Opposition Cleric and Followers
By NAZILA FATHI
TEHRAN, Oct. 8 — A senior cleric who opposes clerical rule of Iran and a number of his followers were arrested on Sunday following clashes with riot police over the weekend, news agencies reported.
About 1,000 supporters of the cleric, Ayatollah Mohammad Kazemeni Boroujerdi, gathered outside his home and on the streets leading to his home on Saturday, the semiofficial ILNA news agency reported. They were apparently trying to protect him from arrest and to protest the arrests over the past month of other supporters who had tried to protect him after a court ruling against him.
Another news agency, Entekhab, also reported that Mr. Boroujerdi and some of his supporters had been arrested.
News reports quoted officials as saying that members of the crowd came armed with knives and daggers, and that protesters accused the riot police of using tear gas to disperse them.
Mr. Boroujerdi said that he had written to the United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, to the European Union foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, and to Pope Benedict XVI and other leaders seeking their protection and asking them “to make efforts to spread traditional religion,” separate from politics, ILNA reported.
“I believe people are fed up with political religion and want traditional religion to return,” ILNA quoted Mr. Boroujerdi as saying.
The protesters on Saturday were chanting “religious freedom is our irrefutable right,” and “freedom, freedom, is our irrefutable right,” the agency said.
Protesters who were interviewed on opposition radio and satellite television channels Saturday said that the supporters of Mr. Boroujerdi were prepared to die in his defense.
The Iranian authorities are wary of any challenge, particularly from top clerics, to the system of clerical rule that was established after the 1979 Islamic revolution by the revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Iran has an elected president and Parliament, but final authority lies with the supreme leader, currently Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran has frequently arrested scholars and journalists who have challenged the system.
Iranian authorities had charged Mr. Boroujerdi with lacking sufficiently senior religious credentials to speak out on the matter. They also accused him effectively of sacrilege, charging that he claimed that he was the representative of the twelfth Imam, hidden from his enemies in the ninth century after other leaders were slain, who Shiite Muslims believe will return one day to redeem society.
Mr. Boroujerdi had been summoned over a month ago to the Special Court for the Clergy but he refused to surrender. Following that summons, his supporters have gathered outside his home with the intention of protecting him, and a number had been arrested since then.

Not sure if it would be good or bad if this guy's policies took over. If what he wanted came about, it might end up giving Ahmadinejad even more power, which is the last thing we need right now. Then again, it might also allow for the election of a president and parliment that aren't stooges of the Mullahs and that aren't pushing for the destruction of Israel and the West.
