The Iranian Resistance forces, united under the leadership of Maryam Rajavi, want to see the separation of religion and government in Iran.
Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has given many speeches advocating for an end to religious governance in Iran, which is in direct contrast to the theocratic Iranian Regime that uses Islam to oppress its own people.
What reasons does Maryam Rajavi give for the separation of religion and state?
There are many reasons that Maryam Rajavi has given to support the separation of religion and state but it all boils down to personal freedom and a skewed legal system.
Maryam Rajavi believes that by linking the laws of one country to a religion (as in the Iranian Regime’s Sharia law) creates medieval laws and punishments (like executions) that are incompatible with modern society.
Compulsory religion takes away the freedom to worship freely as you choose, according to Maryam Rajavi. It means that those who do not prescribe to the religion (in the Regime’s case, a narrow and largely inaccurate interpretation of Shiite Islam) have to worship in secret and hide their true beliefs.
