OUR CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR’S WISHES FOR THE PEOPLE OF IRAN
As we approach the 2018 festive season, let us not forget the plight of millions of Iranians fighting for a better life in that country; free from the bondage of a murderous clerical regime that is busy destroying the lives of millions of innocent people in Iran.
Let the joy of brightening each other’s lives, bearing each other’s’ burdens, easing other’s loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with hope and support, becomes for us the magic of this festive season and our firm commitment for 2019.
Every time an occasion presents itself, let’s not hesitate for one moment to use that opportunity to do everything in our power to free Iran from ungodly theocratic regimes who, under the guise of religion, continue to commit their heinous crimes against humanity.
Someone once said: “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different canters of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple. While it may seem small, the ripple effects of small things can be extraordinary. Everything we do, even the slightest thing we do, has a ripple effect and repercussions that emanate from it. If you throw a pebble into the water on one side of the ocean, it can create a tidal wave on the other side. Be the pebble!
To all our Iranian friends we say: May the suffering and persecution which you must endure today, become the golden memories of tomorrow for you and your beloved family.
May the closeness of friends around the world, the comforts of home, and the unity of your beloved nation, renew your resolve to rid yourself from the bondage of the ungodly clerical regime in your country.
May you feel the love and support of all your friends and family, from all over the globe, during this period and in the years to come.
