		<description><![CDATA[Ottawa cancels the screening of the new documentary, “Iranium,” because the mullahs voice their displeasure. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Ahmadinejad.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-86903" title="Ahmadinejad" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Ahmadinejad.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="417" /></a></p>
<p>In  February 2011, the news media reported that the screening of the  controversial documentary, “Iranium,” had been banned in Ottawa due to  pressure from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Embassy.  Despite all the threats, the documentary was shown in two different  places &#8212; Archives Canada in Ottawa and York University in Toronto.  Many citizens, including students, lined up to come and watch and formulate their own  opinions.</p>
<p>The fact that this documentary made the Islamic  Republic of Iran’s Embassy concerned is a disclosure of the true face  of this brutal government&#8217;s  intent to procure nuclear weapons and support. The violations of the basic human rights of the Iranian  people during 31 years of the regime&#8217;s existence, meanwhile, continues to be on full tragic display. The most  shocking  aspect of the attempt to censor the film, however, was how it was possible that an embassy of a foreign government  (Iran), which is isolated in the international arena and has  the highest number of opponents among its citizens (within Iran and  abroad), can exert its control over the Canadian government.</p>
<p>The documentary shows the inhuman treatment of the regime’s opponents by police forces, and it contains interviews of various politicians and analysts.  It also shows a montage of the Islamic Republic officials’ speeches, including  that of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Holocaust-denying president, who boasts that “we will not  give up a single iota of our nuclear rights.”  It is obvious that this regime refers to nuclear weapons as so-called “nuclear rights.”</p>
<p>When  the Islamic Republic of Iran was established in 1979, its leader  Khomeini mentioned that the United States of America must be destroyed,  and referred to Israel as a cancerous tumor which must also be destroyed.  These threatening statements by the  leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran have been continued until today under the government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  He has openly declared that “Israel must be wiped off the world map.”</p>
<p>These  statements completely make clear that the Islamic Republic of Iran is  seeking nuclear weapons rather than a peaceful nuclear program. It is forcing its sinister desire upon the Iranian  people and it says that this is the wish of Iranians.  But  the fact is that Iranians have been suffering under poverty and the violations of their basic rights. The last thing that they care about  is nuclear weapons because the money that belongs to Iranian families  has been spent in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and other countries to  support terrorist groups and Islamic extremists such as Hamas and  Hezbollah.</p>
<p>The  Canadian government has to understand that the Islamic Republic of Iran  and its supporters in Canada are a threat to the safety of Canadian  society. The embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran plays an  important role in this matter.  This regime  and its supporters are trying to take-over Canadian laws and  regulations for their own sinister desires. Additionally, since the Canadian  Federal government has condemned human rights abuses of the Islamic  Republic of Iran at various times, there will be a desire by  this regime to take revenge against Canada.</p>
<p>It was by the Islamic Republic&#8217;s trained terrorists that many Iranian  opponents of this regime throughout the world, including political activists and artists, have been murdered. Dr. Shapour Bakhtiar, the prime minister  of the previous regime, was one of those victims.  Thus, this threat now exists in Canada for Iranian dissidents of this regime.</p>
<p>As  Iranian-Canadian citizens and opponents of the Islamic Republic of  Iran, it is very concerning for us to see the growing increase in the number of Iranian agents and supporters in Canadian  society.</p>
