Muslims slam shah, media distortion By MIKE HOPKINS Of the Emerald American newspaper reports of Iran s chaotic domestic situation frequently distort the true nature of forces opposing Shah Muhammed Reza Pahlavi’s regime, mem bers of the Iranian Muslim Association claimed Wednesday The IMA held a press conference in the EMU to correct some of those distortions aid to declare that Pres. Carter’s state ments of support for the shah contradict Amencan s reputation as freedom-lovers. Shariati said. IMA members are followers of Ayatollah RuhoUah Khomeini, the exiled enemy of the shah and leader of the world's Shiite Mus lim sect to which a majority of Iran’s 35 million people belong. Khomeini, who lives in Pans, has vowed not to return to Iran until the shah is ousted from power Shariati maintains 96 percent of Iranians have rallied behind Khomeini in Iranian Muslims living in the United States (shown here in a local demonstration ear lier this year) continue their attacks against the shah of Iran and Amencan media coverage of the political situation in Iran. opposing the shah and in favor of establish ing an independent, democratic Islamic Iran. ’ Shanati and other IMA members zeroed in on two distortions' they say frequently appear in American media reporting on Iran—the claim that conservative Muslim leaders like Khomeini are angry over the shah s so-called land reform program and his attempts to liberalize the status of Ira nian women. The shah s land reform has entailed con fiscation of thousands of acres of farmland traditionally held in a kind of public trust called waqf Rather than redistributing this land among peasants, Shanati said, the shah has sold it when the pnce was nght-Tke program has forced many Iranian farmers to relocate to distant parts of the country, leaving them to raise crops without gov ernment aid in the form of machinery and fertilizers. Thanks to the government s pndng sys tem for agriculture goods, many farmers find it impossble to make a profit and mig rate to the cities in search of jobs, Shanati sad. The shah s agriculture policies have forced Iran, a former food exporter to im port 90 percent of its food. One IMA member, who identified herself as Sarah." denied the Khomeini's follow ers want to oppress women. Many Iranian women have been jailed and even exe cuted for opposing the Shah, she said. The sight of Iranian women in traditional dress participating in anti-shah demonstrations testifies to their preference for life in a democratic Islamic Iran over some Western-style liberation. ' she said. Shanati describee the Iranian state en -yisoned by Khomeini and his tolowers as Islamic and independent. An independent Iran would be essentially neutral, free of control by outside super powers.
