continues to hold the federal government because Iran's president during the soccer World Cup in the event of a visit to make your stay as pleasant as possible, and to the world football body FIFA is still the view
sports have to do with politics, why the exclusion of Iran from the tournament was not eligible. It is worth noting also that both refer to the other when it comes to the responsibility for it goes, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (photo, left: Bayern-Profi Ali Karimi) to explain to the unwanted guest and isolated from the Games so far: The Director, FIFA's legal department, Heinz Tännler was
in his reply to the letter of protest
Simon Wiesenthal Center the view that the decision to enter the Iranian president lying
"solely the responsibility of the German government" , while one takes this the view that the World Cup is an event of world soccer federation, which is why only this about it could find, whether Ahmadinejad is welcome or not. Had the whole thing so sad, you could bend smoothly with laughter at this farce.
But now piling up, the calls and the calls for protests against the participation of Iran in the football tournament and a possible visit of the madman of Tehran. Under the motto "Never again! ! Never again mobilize " example, some organizations and individuals - including Arno Lustiger, Ralph Giordano, Michel Friedman, Henryk M.

These activities are now an open letter the clubs Iranian-European filmmakers (CIEF), already against the performance of Iran's football film Offside in Berlinale in February this year had strongly protested, was because he strips for existing regime propaganda. The letter is addressed to the members of the European Parliament addressed after there a group of conservative to the British Parliament member Chris Heaton-Harris has taken the initiative and will make an attempt to obtain at FIFA president Joseph Blatter but even the exclusion of Iran; the CIEF supports that rushing forward and calls on other MPs to support on. Liza documented the world open letter this association, which is not already available on the Internet, in its entirety.
Open Letter
Dear Members of the European Parliament,
we have learned that some members of Parliament, including the circle around the men Christopher Heaton-Harris and Daniel Cohn-Bendit, after look for ways to exclude from certain activities from their respective countries to Iran from the World Cup. We want the Iranian exiles express our solidarity in this sense and to ask you this target by the exclusion of Iran to follow. So, as we have already formulated in the past in a letter to Mr. Joseph S. Blatter .
It is probably not escaped your notice that the Iranian regime at risk with his anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli stance in the world and peace in the Middle East. The Tehran authorities use all means available to them, Israel, a member of FIFA, to erase from the map. One of the principles of the FIFA is the recognition of the rights of its Member States. So the question is how the membership of a state like Iran can not tolerate in this association, membership of a country which openly and the destruction of Israel and calls for the relocation of its citizens to other countries.
Although one of the FIFA, the separation of sports and politics on the basic principles, we must not forget that there are despotic regimes that abuse frequently the sport and the athletes for their purposes. To counter this, the former Yugoslav federation ruled your regime from participation in the European Championship 1992nd Similarly, it did in the case of the apartheid regime in South Africa, until the abolition of the racist legislation was denied membership.
The successful qualification of the Iranian national team for the World Cup is a result of hard work of the Iranian soccer players and the tireless support of the Iranian people. Despite growing enthusiasm for football among women they have no access to the football stadiums. The Iranian regime is trying with the help of his henchmen and middlemen in the media and the public to play down the political situation in Iran and cover up his true intentions with regard to the destruction of Israel and the handle of the atomic bomb.
The argument that politics had nothing to do with sports is not in our opinion in this case true. We want to point out that it is the Iranian government, like any other despotic and fascist regime does not believe in this principle. Iranian media reported the government in Tehran to present, in the course of typical propaganda measures the popularity of the Iranian national football team and bring them political advantage to form a symbolic human chain around one of the Iranian nuclear facilities.
We are convinced that the football world championships, which will be played in line with the Olympic spirit, symbolizing next to the open competition of nations, the solidarity and the desire for peace among peoples. The world community is living proof that the Iranian government since assuming power, more of an obstacle for been the rapprochement of the peoples are and always have propagated hatred and enmity. Therefore we ask you to recognize the seriousness of the hour and to support the application of the respective members of parliament.
There are no ifs and buts. The Iranian regime is a fascist regime and can be suppressed only by common and consistent action.
We encourage you to post your thoughts and reply to the address below.
