Khalq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bitter resenment between Khalq and Parcham factions eventually led to the failure of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and the Saur Revolution. Khalq was excluded from the government because of its lack of good political connections and its go-it-alone policy on noncooperation.

Afghanistan - USURPATION, INVASION AND WAR: 1978-92 The "Saur Revolution," as the new government grandiloquently labeled its coup d'etat (after the month in the Islamic calendar in which it occurred), was almost entirely the achievement of the Khalq faction of the PDPA. Khalq, on the other hand,had not been involved in Daud's government, had little connection with Kabul's Persian speaking elite, and a rustic reputation based on recruitment of students from the provinces. Cabinet membership was split eleven to ten, with Khalq in the majority. countrystudies.us /afghanistan/89.htm   (702 words)

The Theory of 'Alam al Khalq and 'Alam al-'Amr It is because khalq and amrhave two different meanings in the verse: "creation", and "command" or "sovereignty"; but both of them relate to the entire world‑not that one of them relates to the physical world and the other to the world of abstract beings. Nothing is worthy of man's worship except God, since khalq (creation) and amr(administration of affairs) both are from Him; nothing else is of any effect in the affairs of the world besides Him.   (His, verily, is all khalq and amr) and the theory of creation and command, originated from the controversies of mutakallimun. www.al-islam.org /al-tawhid/khalq_amr/4.htm   (3593 words)

AEI - Short Publications Let there be no mistake: Masud Rajavi’s Mujahedin-e Khalq is a terrorist group; Rajavi is as much a “Monster of the Left” as Yasir Arafat[1] or Robert Mugabe. Supporters who did not abandon the Mujahedin-e Khalq when it murdered civilians and planted bombs washed their hands of the group after Rajavi allied himself with Saddam Hussein.

Mujahedeen Khalq - Baby Snatchers   (Site not responding.

If one takes the view that Mujahideeni Khalq is sponsored by Saddam and that their bases are all in Iraq, one can conclude that while the UN is fighting Saddam to strip him powerless within Iraqi borders, he is getting out through the back door to spread his network around the world.

FrontPage magazine.com :: Hitting the Mark on Iran by Michael Rubin Ali Safavi’s response is dishonest but useful as a study of Mujahedin-e Khalq (MKO) tactics. Safavi is likewise dishonest with his dismissal of “Islamic Marxism,” which was oft-discussed within Mujahedin-e Khalq circles and Iranian society. Most of Safavi’s prose and notes are irrelevant to the argument and obscure or ignore points raised in “Monsters of the Left: The Mujahedin al-Khalq.”  He seeks credibility by citing everything from the Pope to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. www.frontpagemag.com /Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=21065   (1054 words)

Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > Khalq Out U.S. officials decline to call the disarmament a "surrender," preferring the term "voluntary consolidation." The Khalq will be permitted to keep their uniforms. It seems clear that this is the end for the Khalq, and that the State Department's plan to eliminate the group as a fighting force has trumped hints that the U.S. might use it as a proxy force against Iran. In the Daily Star, one Mahan Abedin has a valuable analysis of the disarmament and a quick battle history of the Khalq's final defeat. www.reason.com /blog/show/101663.html   (212 words)

Terrorism - In the Spotlight: Mujaheddin-e Khalq Organization (MEK or MKO) The roots of the Mujaheddin-e Khalq (MEK) reach back to the early 1960s formation of the Liberation Movement of Iran, a nationalistic, liberal party formed by supporters of then Prime Minister Mohammed Mossaddeq. The failed June 1963 uprising in Iran prompted younger members of the party to start considering violent means to challenge the Shah, and a discussion group, formed by some of these younger members, became the nucleus of the MEK.

Informed Comment The Mujahidin-i Khalq terrorist organization, which has committed mass murder in Iran, was given refuge in Iraq by Saddam Hussein, who used the group's guerrillas to harass Iran. But AFP reports that Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq and December's president of the Interim Governing Council has said that some MKO members guilty of terrorism will be tried in Iraq.
