Salam al Maseeh

The first Palestinian above all others is Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Let be accursed any gospel other than that which was preached at the beginning, received not from man but from Christ Jesus, thou alone, in whom we have redemption through thy all holy infinitely pure and undefiled blood, the remission of our sins, who in the future shall recreate the heavens and the earth, called by thine special choice, who before hoped in Christ with all who heard the word of truth and believed, sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, who is the pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of the possession, for the praise of his glory, in faith in the Lord Jesus, and of love for all the saints in unceasing intercession of all the elect angels and saints of God, virgins, with all thanksgiving, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in deep knowledge of him; the eyes of our minds being enlightened, to know the hope of his calling, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power wrought in Christ the only first born from the dead in the flesh raised above all things he made subject under his feet, we who hold him the head directly and no other, Christ Jesus our only Lord and Saviour immortal son of the immortal Father in the unity and power and bond of love of the immortal Holy Spirit our Paraclete unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

The Final Trial: Jesus Christ begotten of the Father - not made

A prayer of Isaias the Prophet.

Is. 26: 9-21

(Isaias' prophecy, which is also his prayer.)

O Lord our God, grant us peace. Out of the night my spirit waketh at dawn unto Thee, O God; for Thy commandments are a light upon the earth. Learn righteousness, all ye that dwell upon the earth. For the ungodly man hath come to an end; every one that learneth not righteousness upon the earth shall not be able to do truth; let the ungodly be taken away, that he may not see the glory of the Lord. O Lord, Thine arm is lifted up, and they knew it not; but when they know it, let them be put to shame. Zeal shall lay hold upon an untaught people, and now fire shall devour the adversaries. O Lord our God, bestow Thy peace upon us, for Thou hast given all things unto us. O Lord our God, take us for Thy possession. O Lord, we know no other beside Thee; we call upon Thy name. But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians raise them up; therefore hast Thou brought wrath upon them, and hast slain them, and hast taken every man of them away. Bring more evils upon them, Lord; bring more evils upon them that are glorious upon the earth. O Lord, in trouble we remembered Thee; with small affliction was Thy chastening with us. And as a woman in travail draweth nigh to be delivered, and crieth out in her travail, so have we become in the presence of Thy beloved. We have conceived, O Lord, because of Thy fear, and have suffered pangs, and have brought forth the spirit of Thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth. We shall not fail, but all those that dwell upon the earth shall fail. The dead shall arise, and they that are in the tomb shall awake, and they that are upon the earth shall rejoice. For the dew which Thou sendest is healing unto them; but the land of the ungodly shall perish. Go, my people, enter into thine inner chamber, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season [during the Great Tribulation, hidden in mountains and dens and caves of the earth - there is NO secret rapture which is only an heretical apostate Lurianic Talmudic Judaic doctrine], until the anger of the Lord shall pass away.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

And see: The Abomination of Desolation

Note in the below that this is a description of the evil that precedes the Antichrist who is the Abomination of Desolation. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ then comes after the reign of Antichrist has proceeded for a while. Antichrist, his reign and the False Prophet and all their followers are then destroyed by the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with all His elect Angels and sent to hell forever. The saints will then reign with Our Lord Jesus Christ at their head on earth forever.

Palestine, which is properly the Holy Land for in it walked God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, and there He allowed Himself to be sacrificed for the salvation of those who profess Him from the heart and with the mouth, is a miniature of all the evil that has come upon the earth and there will the final evil be concentrated in its fullness and rule from there for a short time.

From: The Abomination of Desolation

Writing in the second century, St. Hippolytus wrote the following about the evil that will abound before the coming of Antichrist:

The temples of God will be like houses, and there will be overturnings of the churches everywhere. The Scriptures will be despised, and everywhere they will sing the songs of the adversary. Fornications, and adulteries, and perjuries will fill the land; sorceries, and incantations, and divinations will follow after these with all force and zeal. And, on the whole, from among those who profess to be Christians will rise up then false prophets, false apostles, impostors, mischief-makers, evil-doers, liars against each other, adulterers, fornicators, robbers, grasping, perjured, mendacious, hating each other. The shepherds will be like wolves; the priests will embrace falsehood; the monks will lust after the things of the world; the rich will assume hardness of heart; the rulers will not help the poor; the powerful will cast off all pity; the judges will remove justice from the just, and, blinded with bribes, they will call in unrighteousness.

MATTHEW 28

CHAPTER XXVIII.

The resurrection of Christ. His commission to his disciples.

1 And *in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week,

18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.

19 *Going, therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

"Consummation of the world," - the end of this age of grace and the beginning of the eternal ages with Christ reigning visibly. This is the end of the eschaton and the beginning of the eternal recreated heavens and the earth and will begin when Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ returns from heaven in the same flesh He rose with and ascended into the third heaven with, seated at the right hand of the Father. His return will be with all of His elect angels. He will raise and judge all men in the flesh and then recreate the heavens and the earth, which in that state will last that way for eternity. There will NOT be any sin in the new heavens and earth, so prepare now by confessing the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and be baptized as commanded above and shown how to baptize below and live Holy and Godly lives in sincerity and humility and meekness waiting for the Lord when He returns so that we are not like the five foolish virgins but are like the five wise virgins.

Method of Baptism

From the Didache (49 A.D. Council of Jerusalem):

Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism.

And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize the one to be baptized into Jesus Christ in "the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," in running water. But if you have no running water, baptize into other water [still water]; and if you cannot do so in cold water, do so in warm. But if you have neither, pour out water three times upon the head onto the one to be baptized saying at that time "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." But before the baptism, if possible, let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized [when there is time] to fast one or two days before.

Baptism can and should always be performed immediately when there is danger of death of the one to be baptized. For instance, impending martyrdom or possible death causing illness.

Israel is the Nation of the Antichrist = Dajjal: Totally reject Dajjal and instead Come to Christ and receive the water of life

The Muhammad of the Almighty Triune God of The Final Trial would not stand in the way of Muslims coming to Our Lord Jesus Christ and being baptized in Him as the Injeel commands. The Mohammed of Ahmadiyya is the same as the Mohammot of al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah and both are antichrists and contradict the clear commands of God in the Injeel and Taurat and Quran.

Noble Quran

003.045 Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (held in honor by the company of the prophets and saints) those nearest to God;

003.046 "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (adhered to by the company) of the righteous."

003.047 She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: God createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

003.048 "And God will teach him [Jesus Christ] the Book [alkitaba = all sacred writing from God Most High] and Wisdom [hikma = sophia = uncreated wisdom of God one with His Holy Spirit], the Law [Taurat fulfilled in the Gospel of Jesus Christ] and the Gospel [of Jesus Christ],"

As the Word of God Jesus Christ willed to learn in His Incarnation what He already possessed and knew prior to His Incarnation as part of His kenosis (emptying out of Himself and taking upon Himself our nature while in no way losing anything of what He already was as God by nature and Son of God as the Second Person of the undivided Trinity) and as an example to us of how we in humility must follow God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

See this for why Jesus Christ must be confessed as the Holy Word and Son of God: The Final Trial: Mary - revered by both Christians and Muslims as the vessel through whom God made the Word, Jesus Christ, Incarnate

The Muslim feast of Eid only commemorates the typological sacrifice by Abraham of Issac. That prefigured the final and only Supreme Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on His Most Holy Cross. It is only by the Sacrifice of Christ on His Cross that we are saved. Jesus Christ commanded, not suggested, that we be baptized; echoing the rest of the Church Fathers, St. Augustine noted that if someone could not be baptized even though they wanted it and did everything they could to be baptized in the water in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, then their confession of faith is enough for their salvation. But no where are we allowed to refuse baptism.

All Muslims and everyone who will, are invited and encouraged to come to the water of life now and be baptized in the water and in the Spirit in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and receive Communion.

For Noah and Abraham as Prophecies of Baptism in Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ see:

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The Second Prophesy: Genesis 5: 32; 6; 7: 6: 11-14, 18-21, 23-24; 8: 1-3, 6-12, 15-21

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The Third Prophesy: Genesis 22: 1-19

There is no evolution, to be baptized in Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ one must believe in the truth of literal Creation by God and no pantheistic syncretism with deistic design and the rest of pagan evolutionary theory.

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The First Prophesy: Genesis 1: 1-31; 2: 1-2

And see the rest of the Baptismal Prophecies. They are a must.

For all Jews wishing to convert sincerely from the heart to Jesus Christ now, here is a prayer based on the biblical Hebrew of the prophets of the Old Testament and the Septuagint Greek of the Old Testament and the New Testament and Arabic.

(The Arabic, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, means the same as God Almighty, or 'O Theos 'O Pantocrator, in Septuagint Greek.)

In the below “Dam (Blood) Kadosh (Holy) bet Yeshua ha Maschiach (Jesus Christ) kanawn anawim (have mercy on Your faithful [those who turn to God by the shed Blood of Christ on Calvary])” is asking for God's forgiveness by the shed Holy Blood of Christ – which is the only forgiveness there is from God for sin.

Go here: Jews called in Christ: Begun in 2002, judged illegal 2004, Israel’s apartheid wall goes on regardless | Jews for Justice for Palestinians

And then be baptized in Christ - see above: Baptism.

Pashtun Resist: Palestine Cry: Iran is Tying to Penetrate the Ranks of the Syrian Opposition « Kawther Salam









The French Connection

France recklessly encouraged a succession of Muslim leaders, who proved to be implacably hostile to the Westfrom Gaddafi to Saddam Hussein. Iwas the French who turned Yasser Arafat into a figure on the world stage and tolerated hiterrorists in their midst. And iwas the French who enabled Ayatollah Khomeini to launch his Islamic revolution from a suburb of Paris.”  (DanieJohnson1)


It was while in France that Khomeinis speeches and writings were the most prolific and where the planning for hiIslamic revolution gained momentum. Khomeinithe usurper, gave over one hundred media interviews during his short, four-month stay in Neauphle-le-Chateau. His pronouncements were quickly translated, printed, and sent to Tehran. According to DrParviz Mina, the French gave Khomeini every media advantage and constantly covered his activities. On the French news,” said Dr. Mina, normallthere are two special news programs, one at 1:00 in the afternoon and another at 8:00
p.m. And normally international news takes up teminutes or fifteen minutes.…Durinthe time of Khomeini, every day, fifteen minutes they were talking about Iran and Khomeini, every daythe media was given the free hand.…[the French government] provided him security. I think all the facilities he needed is at his disposal.2 The dour Ayatollah had been transformed overnight into a VIP, the darling of the liberal Westermedia, and France had become command central for the launch of hiIslamic Republic.
France in 1979 boasted three major television outlets: TeleFrance1 (TF1), Antennae 2 (A2), and France 3 (FR3); the latter two were owned by the government. A2 was similar in style and content to America’s Public Broadcasting System. The station set
the tone for stories on Journal 20h” (the 8:00 PM news), the equivalent of the NBC or

2 Dr. Parviz Mina interview, Paris, France, April 18, 2008.

CBS Nightly News. On October 10, 1978, mere days after Khomeinis arrival, he was pictured in a story on A2. The images showed Khomeini dressed in dark clothing and sitting tailor-fashion on Persian carpets. He was posed in a lush green garden surroundeby children. He was described as being a deeply religious man who abstained from worldly things.3 The images were reminiscent of the beloved Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, the champion of non-violence. Khomeini was clearly being modeled as a modest man compared to the extravagant Shah.
The most influential daily newspaper in France at that time was Le Monde or The World.” Though Le Monde was left-of-center, it was not as far left as the communist Libération. On the other side of the coin was just slightly-right-of-center, Le Figaro. While French President Giscard DEstaing was purported to be Centrist,” his views more nearly matched those of Le Monde.
Many in France thought journalist Paul Balta had been assigned by Le Monde tcover Khomeini; it was more apropos to say that Khomeini assigned him. Balta woultell the story years later of how he landed in Paris just after Khomeini arrived in exile at Neauphle-le-Château., a suburb of Paris:

While I was covering the Iranian revolution for Le Monde, I camto Paris in November 1978. Abu Hassan Bani Sadr, principal adviser to Khomeini and President of the Republic, told me that the Ayatollah, also called Imam, wanted to meet me. To my surprise, he explained to me that
he had had my articles translated from the French press and that Khomeini



had said about me, Who is he? He writes like no other; he knows Islaand Iran. I want to see him.” I went to Neauphle-le-Chateau, where he livein exile since October 5. He shared his frugal meal with me: a large bowl of soup, bread, fruit, and some cakes just for me. He said that first he
would ask me questions before answering mine. Once done, hgranted man official interview, which it was not customary.4

Had the Shah established the same conditions for an interview, would Balta have been as kind to Pahlavi in his writings as he was to Khomeini? For example, in a Khomeini biography/profile by Balta for Le Monde on February 1, 1979, he wrote:

A believer in jihad (in the original sense of the term, generalltranslated as holy war, iis the battle against oneself), he (Khomeini) disciplines himself down to the smallest details in daily activities and to aintense spiritual life. He is an example to all, and even his worst enemiecan never contest that, they say in Iran.5

Did Balta later realize just how clever the Ayatollah had been with him? He posed a question to Khomeini in January 1979: When you win [Not if you win, but
when.], what will be the status of the Iranian women? Khomeinis answer: Our women fight like lions. They deserve our admiration. In the Islamic state, they will have
the status that they deserve.”






French by Dan Godzich
5 Le Monde, February 11979 translated from the French by Dan Godzich

Just weeks later Balta joined Khomeinis entourage on the Air France plane thaflew the triumphant Ayatollah to Tehran. Delivering a significant speech to his adoring followers in Qom, Khomeini returned the women of Iran to the Dark Ages. Baltexplained:

He [Khomeini] outlined the main orientations of the future IslamiRepublic and proclaimed compulsory wearing of the chador  "veil" – which had been abolished by the Shah. At the conclusion of the ceremony, I expressed my surprise about the chador, but he replied to me: I told you they deserve our admiration. Iis always the case, but I added as in the
Islamic state, they will have the status that they deserve.6



Iwas also in France, that most cosmopolitan of countries, that Khomeini receivethe make-over of all times. This son of an Indian fortune-teller was stripped of his past. Hifather became the leader of the Khomeini clan who, supposedly, was murdered bPahlavis father. Khomeini graduated from second-rate mullah to academic and
renowned holy man. If he was the Eliza Doolittle, who was the Henry Higgins? Whacountry (or countries) was so determined to unseat the Shah that it was willing to undertake the transformation?
Dominique Lorenz, a journalist for the French Libération, wrote that having picked Khomeini to overthrow the Shah, [the Americans] had to get him out of Iraq, clothe him with respectability, and set him up in Paris; a succession of events which
could not have occurred if the leadership in France had been against it.7

7 Une Guerre, (One War”), Ėditions des Arénes, Paris, 1997.

In France, Khomeinis Iranian visitors totaled more than one thousand per day, all of which the French blessed or, at the very least, turned a blind eye. The Ayatollah became the Guru of Hate as he shared his vitriolic dislike for the Shah with all who would listen and learn. These disciples, including a number from various American universities, were not coming just to sit at the feet of the Teacher and learn; their pockets, lined with money collected through the Bazaar, the commercial system in Iran, were empty when they left Khomeinis presence. Some estimates place the contributions at approximately twenty million British pounds.
The Ayatollahs compound was reportedly surrounded by representatives ocovert agencies from the major powers: the CIA, Britains MI-6, Russia’s KGB, and the French intelligence organization, SDECE. One has to wonder why an unknown, uncultured, old cleric was the focus of such attention.
Intelligence officers from Israel, France and the U.S. stated that the U.Sgovernment wrote checks to Khomeini while he was in Paris in increments of approximately $150 million. They were delivered through the CIA.
One visitor to Khomeinis chateau described the mesmerizing effect the Ayatollah had on his visitors:

He [Khomeini] started to speak in his deep, bass voice, and I never heard a voice as serene and moving. It was said that he caressed the ears of his listeners, in soft waves to put them in a trance state.…Here we had aImam, with his long, grey beard and black turban of the Shiites…and hereall of these men representing the social and intellectual elite of Iran, listenein absolute silence, hanging on every word that fell from his lips

with an attentive fascination.…Khomeini was always sure that the drivinforce of the revolution would be religious, and he was therefore destined
to take the leadership role.8



French journalist André Fontaine compared Khomeini to John Paul II, heaping praise upon the [Ayatollah] without reserve. The philosopher Jacques Madaule, referrinto Khomeinis role, asked if his movement did not open the gates of the future of humanity.9
Aiding Khomeini during his French exile was Abol Hassan Bani Sadr. Journalist

Charles Villeneuve related to me that Bani Sadr was responsible for supplying the

cassette tapes filled with anti-Shah propaganda and dispatching them through the networthat would insure their arrival in the mosques in Tehran.10 The Iranian had resisteattempts by CIA operative Vernon Cassin (under the alias Guy Rutherford) to enlist hias a mole. Cassins documents would eventually wind up in the hands of the militants
who seized the American Embassy and would signal the downfall of Bani Sadr.

In my interview with him, Giscard dEstaing shed more light on the messages sent into Iran by the Ayatollah:

During his stay, the Imam was active. He sent messages to Iran to Tehran.…he used tapescarried by followers to Iran...to Chayet, the main charge.…we knew the Interior Ministry was still watching closely the
activities of the Ayatollah. He seems to deliver violent messages.…we

have political refugees, but they must abstain from violence. So we warned himthat we would not accept that [he] would go on sendinmessages.…But he went on…we had the tapes. The second time I was warned by our ambassador in Tehran that Khomeini had sent a messagasking to kill the Shah.…five days later, we haconfirmation that he sent another violent tape to Tehran saying the same thing, which was, kill the
Shah.11

CIA memoranda regarding Khomeini and the Shah seem to have either been deliberately ignored by the Carter administration or lost in the great governmental paperwork shuffle. One such memorandum flatly stated, Khomeini is determined to overthrow the Shah and is unlikely to accept compromise.…Khomeini is anti-communist, but his followers may be susceptible to communist and radical penetration. He hacooperated in the past with Islamic terrorist groups.12
A CIA intelligence memorandum dated January 19, 1979, and released three dayafter the Shahs departure contained detailed information on Bani Sadr and Sadegh Ghotbzadeh (A Syrian-born leader of the opposition movement), including the fact that both men had ties to Palestinian commandos. Questions arise: Why was the memreleased after the Shahs departure from Tehran? Did President Carter and administration officials have access to this information in the months prior to abandoning the Shah and permitting Khomeini to return to Tehran?






11 Giscard dEstaing interview, April 2008.
12 CIA Intelligence Memorandum: The Politics of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, November 20, 1978, Declassified. Chadwyck-Healey, Iran: The Making of U. S. Policy 1977-1980, Alexandria VA 1990.

Early in1977 Khomeini had begun to woo the military in Iran through his tapemessages. The wily Ayatollah knew that to win the revolution he must first charm and disarm the military. He began to indoctrinate the troops with the message of the Shahcorruption and their own place as soldiers of Allah; as such, they were prohibited from shooting at their own brethren. He exhorted them to return to their homes, to the faith, and to service to Allah. Surprisingly, it was not SAVAK or the Shahs inner circle that stumbled onto Khomeinis tactics; it was the Israeli mission to Tehran that had becomapprehensive.
By fall 1977 the Ayatollah was giving the soldiers specific instructions as to how tachieve higoal. He encouraged them to desert their posts in numbers, reminding theit was their God-given right to take their arms with them. Ironically, the very day JimmCarter praised Iran as an ocean of stability in a stormy sea,” a battalion of five hundred soldiers abandoned their post in the Meshed region. Said one journalist, The Ayatollah
effectively disarmed the Shahs military before engaging iin final battle.13

In another ironic twist, the Shah found himself an unwitting accomplice of Khomeinis revolution. In his efforts to modernize Iran, the Shah had installed a costly direct-dial telephone system. It allowed Khomeini to pick up the phone in Neauphle-leChateau and have direct talks with his cohorts in Tehran.
Iwas this telephone system that Azarbarzin was certain the CIA had bugged. He cited one incident to support his theory:

The Shah asked me to bring General Nissiri back into the country;

it seemed the Shah was considering putting him in as prime minister.

Nassiri was then stationed as the Shahs ambassador to Pakistan. I orderean aircraft at the airport, only told the crew where they were going once onboard. We flew to Pakistan at night and returned with Nassiri to a non- descript gate at the airport, and drove back to the palace. I had madarrangements and alerted the Imperial Guard that we would sneak Nassirin through an unused entrance after midnight.
Usually Ambassador Sullivan arrived at the palace at 10:00

AM….That morningSullivan arrived at 8:30 AM and asked to see the Shah. When they met Sullivan immediately began to explain that it was mistake to name Nassiri…because the people demonstrating on the street were there because of Nassiris actions as head oSAVAK. Instead omaking Nassiri the PM as planned, he was placed in jail to please the Iranian masses.
On November 3, 1978, the Shah decided to create a militarcabinet. His nominee was General Oveissi.…The Shah ordered General Oveissi to start selecting his cabinet members. On November 4 botBritish Ambassador Anthony Parsons and U.S. Ambassador WilliaSullivan had audiences with the Shah. They convinced him that people
called Oveissi a butcher for the way he had put down protests in 1963.14



The ambassadors suggested that the Shah appoint General Gholam-Reza Azharas prime minister. Was this just another attempt on the part of the U.S. and British governments to manipulate Pahlavi?

It seemed the Shahs government could do nothing to prevent Khomeini from attracting like-minded revolutionaries to his chateau outside Paris. In my interview witSamuel Segev, he confirmed that two of Khomeinis visitors in France were Farouk Kaddoumi, PLO department head, and a Libyan representative of Muammar al-Qaddafi. Khomeini was tendered arms and money in support of the revolution. Soon after, Radio Tripoli broadcast messages in Persian to Khomeini backers in Iran, and PLO terrorists
were dispatched to Tehran.15

As the turmoil fueled by Khomeinis subversive methods in his country increased, the Shah tried appeasement measures to placate the rioters and strikers. He eased
curfews, allowed processions to mark holy days, and ultimately succumbed to the pressure to put a new government in place. He chose Shahpour Bakhtiar, a forthright critic of the monarchy, as the new leader. Ardeshir Zahedi urged General Oveissi to secure Bakhtiar’s agreement that he would work with the army to restore order not undermine it, and Bakhtiar agreed.
At Bakhtiars urging the Shah agreed to leave Iran for what was labeled “rest and recuperation.” Empress Farah Pahlavi writes that even though Bakhtiar urged the Shah tleave, The Chief of Staff General Abbas Gharabaghi was opposed to the move and warnethe empress that if the Shah lefIran, the army would collapse.
This evaluation was supported by Ambassador Lubrani. He dressed himself as middle-class Iranian and went out among the rioters and demonstrators. He related thathe soldiers simply stood by while women in the crowd placed carnations in the muzzles of their rifles. The army was effectively neutralized by the massive crowds of Iranians.

The question then became: Had the Shah given the order to shoot into the crowd, woulthe army have complied?16
The Shah assumed that upon his return, he would become a constitutionamonarcmuch like Queen Elizabeth II in England. Little did he know that once airborne, he would have caught his last glimpse of his beloved country, and that Iran would plunge back into the Dark Ages from which he had tried so hard to lead his people. Pahlavi waconvinced the French government was ignoring Khomeinis clever plot to incitrevolution in Iran.
From Paris, Khomeini had called upon the Iranian military to forestall any attempt by the Shah to promote a military coup. He had also urged the Iranian people to
overthrow the Bakhtiar government, calling iillegal and illegitimate. The Ayatollah wrote:

There is a possibility that the treacherous Shah, now about to depart, will commit a further crime, a military coup d'état. I have frequently warned that this is probable.…The courageous people oIran know that there are only a few slavish and bloodthirsty individuals in the army, who apparently occupy important positions and whose identities are known to me, and that the honorable elements in the army will never
permit these slaves of the Shah to commit such a crime against their nation and religion. In accordance with my God-given and national duty, I alerthe Iranian army to this danger, and I demand that all commanders and officers resolutely prevent the enactment of any such conspiracy and not

permit a few bloodthirsty individuals to plunge the noble people of Irainto a bloodbath. Iranian army, this is your God-given dutyIf you obethese congenital traitors, you will be accountable to God, Exalted and Almighty, condemned by all humanitarians, and cursed by futurgenerations.…The Iranian peoplemust recognize that a few treacherous members of the army cannot sully the army as a whole. The record and responsibility of a few bloodthirsty individuals is something separate from the army as a whole. The army belongs to the people, and the people
belong to the army. The army will not suffer any harm as a result of the

17
departure of the Shah.


According to President Carter’s memoir, Keeping Faith, President dEstaing offered to deport Khomeini to halt the discord and stop Khomeinis rabble-rousing from French shores. Carter writes that the Shah had thought it would be better to keep Khomeini there [France], instead of letting him go to Iraq or Libya or some place where he might orchestrate even more trouble.18 A poll taken among the French people found that half [of those] questioned were sorry that their government granted political asylum to the Ayatollah.19
In July 1979 President Jimmy Carter inked a document launching America on the

path that on September 11, 2001, would lead to the deaths of 2,974 innocent civilians;

another twenty-four individuals are still listed as missing. What was the document? It was

The aid would provide the weapons and know-how to train the rebels in terror tactics; lead to the creation of the Taliban; and give rise to the scion of a Saudi prince, a ruthless young man named Osama biLaden, founder of the vile and violent al-Qaeda.
In 1980 the Afghan rebels were aided by a $30 million infusion from the Carteadministration. The ante was raised in Carter's 1981 budget to $50 million. Imarked rise in significant aid for the resistance from international sources.
