Iranian Activist Amir Fakhravar Speaks Out Against Obama Foreign Policy

Holding Talks 
With the Iranian Regime 
Will Not Work


Amir Abbas Fakhravar is willing to suffer torture, beatings and imprisonment so that you and I can know the truth about Islam. He is an international hero. 

The media may tell us Barack Obama is a hero, and Barack Obama may tell us you can talk with the Iranian regime. But, Barack Obama would only appease the maniacal leaders of Iran. He will talk to them, while safely ensconced in his Secret Service bubble.

Thank God for men like Amir Abbas Fakhravar, who don't require a Secret Service bubble to stand up and tell the truth.







Amir Abbas Fakhravar as arrested 19 times as a student in Iran. In November 2002, while Fakhravar was still at university, he was sentenced to an eight year sentence in the Evin prison for publishing a criticism of Ayatollah Khamenei. One time he was beaten in front of a court before being thrown into prison. 

In late April 2006, he arrived in the United States from Dubai where he had been greeted by Richard Perle who interrupted his trip to central Asia in order to meet Fakhravar in a hotel. They had been in touch through a contact since 2003. This past weekend Fakhravar won a conservative journalism award in Florida.
