A look at the role of the Sahar network regarding anti-Islamism in Azerbaijan
From Gainesville to Sohrani
Shida islamic
The name “Gainsville” of one hundred and twenty thousand people was made crazy by “Terry Jones” and made it popular; A small town in Florida became famous for the premeditated threat of one of the cover-up agents on the facts of September 11, about burning hundreds of Qurans on the anniversary of this incident.
Although in the continuation of this scenario, some authorities, populations and groups in America warned and expressed their opposition to Jones’s threat, and the western media and their peers were assigned to cover and portray them positively, but the West took the pieces of this game from It was decided a long time ago, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel honored “Kurt Westergaard”, a Danish cartoonist who insulted the Prophet of Islam, by awarding the M100 award on Wednesday, September 8.
“Westergaard”, however, is the same person who published his offensive caricature of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten on September 30, 2005, which angered millions of Muslims around the world.
Just before September 11, the German diplomatic apparatus supported and thanked the hated Westergaard for “helping the freedom of expression” in a situation where the western media was preparing a large fire to fuel the flames of Islamophobia.
And finally, the work led to the burning of the holy book of the Quran at the end of the September 11 ceremony in different parts of America, a plan whose roots should be sought in the enmity of the West with the thought and thought of Islam, but… the story continues.
In a new foolishness, the crazy priest Gainzvili has declared a day as the day of “trial of the Quran” and wants to “trial” the holy book of more than one billion Muslims on this day! slow and all this while another ridiculous carnival in the Islamic country and with the Shia majority of Azerbaijan has recently targeted one of the essential principles of the Islamic religion, i.e. hijab; Uniform carnival for secondary school girls…
Sahar network, present in the scene
The approach of Sahar Network, which is the oldest and oldest overseas television network in Iran. Although Sahar network programs are currently produced and broadcast through six services in French, English, Bosnian, Kurdish, Azeri and Urdu, but the formation of this network during the time of its activity, in an ideological platform based on the requirements of Iran’s public diplomacy. It has happened that a brief overview of it can be seen in the evaluation and overview of the activities of Azari TV in this international network.
Azari Sahar service after the collapse of the former Soviet Union in the midst of re-reading the Islamic identity in the conscience of the people who had dominated seven decades of propaganda and religious policies and the government of the most important claimant of the expression and publication of Marxist ideology (Soviet Union) in 1374 (1995) AD) was launched.
The shared historical and religious history between the two peoples of Iran and the newly independent country of Azerbaijan was a valuable opportunity to respond to the intellectual needs of the people of this borderland to remove the dust of the years of communist rule from the mirror of their Islamic beliefs: The need that was intensified day by day by receiving the glorious image of freedom and independence of the Iranian people from the profit-seeking powers and showed a clearer face.
But soon, the vast region of Central Asia and the Caucasus was caught in the clutches of Western greed. In this way, the enlightenment of the Azeri TV channel of Sahar World Network opened a battleground in this field, the most challenging scenes of which were the execution of the anti-Islamic scenario in this country and the effort against this media to deepen the vision of the people of Azerbaijan.
The impact of the Azeri image of Sahar at different stages and times, including the incident that “Rafiq Taghi” created on November 8, 2006 (November 17, 2006) by publishing the article “Europe and Us” in the “Sanat Qazeti” magazine of Baku, and insulting and disrespecting it. He also compared the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) to the first prophets to use this excuse to disrespect my Prophet (pbuh). Or what, according to a court ruling in Baku in 2009, the complaint of the municipality of this city led to the issuance of a decision to stop the construction works and destroy the mosque under construction of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh) in the Yeni Gonsheli area in the Shurakani district of Baku, and of course it led to The destruction of Hazrat Muhammad’s (PBUH) Mosque and the “Naft Shapeteri” Mosque was also done by the municipality, or an event that happened right when Baku was designated the cultural capital of the Islamic world in 2009, and the conflicts over the destruction of mosques in this country were at their peak. It happened and exactly during the days of growing opposition to the destruction of mosques in Azerbaijan, i.e. early November 2009, a project that started with popular resistance and interference in 2007 with the intensity and authoritarian attack of the ruling system of this country to ban the call to prayer from the loudspeakers of mosques. The Supreme Authority of Taqlid remained silent, it resumed and… other battles of this kind have been proven, and in this report, only a few corners of the latest show of anti-Islamism in the Republic of Azerbaijan, i.e. the ban on the use of hijab for schoolgirls The high school of this country has been discussed… a story that should not be related to what L The crusade of anti-Islamists from Denmark to the Netherlands to “Gainsville” and… to “Surakhani” Baku in the Muslim country of Azerbaijan, whose name appears in many incidents such as the destruction of mosques and the banning of the hijab, etc. .
The curtain goes up:
Hijab is prohibited!
Anti-Islam circles in the Republic of Azerbaijan had laid the foundation stone for the removal of the hijab in the schools of the Republic of Azerbaijan in 2009, but the intensity of the movement that the government of this country started at that point soon subsided with the expression of opposition from the people and the religious and political institutions of Azerbaijan. Although the main topic was still followed.
Simai Azari of Jahani Sahar Network stated that one of the reasons for this tactical retreat is the upcoming parliamentary elections in 2010 and the need to benefit from the participation of the people of this country. But the enlightening line regarding the issue of hijab was still followed in the programs – albeit slowly – but continuously. Especially since this was not the only aspect of anti-Islamists’ actions to limit the performance of religious ceremonies and the failed attempt to ban the hijab in parliament, the failed attempt to ban the call to prayer, the destruction and closure of a number of mosques, banning the sale of religious books, and banning the activities of students. Kurds abroad, forbidding the use of religious songs in public places, making it difficult to register religious communities, etc., were tried before by those who oppose the manifestations of practicing Islam, until the preparations for the start of the 2010 academic year, the fire was extinguished. It clarified the issues of hijab again.
While the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the parliamentary resolutions do not prohibit hijab, in October 2010, the minister of education of this country, “Masir Mardan F”, announced to the journalists that middle school students must wear the same type of clothing. This cover is the same as western style clothing and its requirement was not to use any device to cover the hair.
Despite widespread public opposition, Sima Azari announced on November 24 the beginning of an inspection of schools to investigate the implementation of uniform clothing, and at the same time, during an interview with Nursteh Ebrahimoglu, head of the Center for the Defense of Freedom of Conscience and Religious Beliefs, his statements who had expressed his hope that this issue was a media misunderstanding and that the authorities would emphasize the non-banning of the hijab in schools, reflected. Ebrahimoglu added in this interview: Instead of confronting the hijab in schools and fighting against religious beliefs, the authorities should think about solving the crisis of academic decline, obscenity and bribery in schools.
Simultaneously with this issue and in the month of mourning for Hazrat Aba Abdullah (AS), the radio and television of the Republic of Azerbaijan, without paying due attention to the need to preserve the Shia rituals and respect the religious feelings of the people, broadcast obscene movies and serials, vulgar music, etc. .. he was galloping. which in turn was effective in provoking the protesting people.
Who lights the first light?
Azari TV reported the first large rally regarding the prohibition of the hijab on Friday, November 10, although the gathering of veiled women of the Republic of Azerbaijan was also covered two weeks before that. Video reports of these protests were covered by the news sections of Azari TV.
As a result of this peaceful gathering, which took place one day after the fatwa-like statements of the Minister of Education of Azerbaijan that “wearing hijab by high school students is unusual”, some were arrested and the rest were dispersed using tear gas.
Of course, the television networks of the Republic of Azerbaijan did not show a desire to reflect the demonstrations of thousands of opponents. Most of them refused to send a reporter to the scene of the rally, and one of the networks, despite sending its reporter, refrained from broadcasting the news and its pictures, but broadcasting the news of the preliminaries of the vulgar music competition known as “Eurovision” at the same time as the month of Muharram and the company A number of singers from the Republic of Azerbaijan were among the top news of the day’s events in this competition.
In this way, Azari TV broke the news blockade of the protest against the hijab ban and found an exclusive role.
After this incident, unjust justifications such as “school students do not have a world view, therefore the hijab should be banned in schools” or “… religion is separate from the government and because they are government educational centers, therefore the hijab should be banned” and… in the parliament hall Azerbaijan and various tribunes took place, in addition to presenting their news, the opinions of analysts and experts of different intellectual spectrums and other tendencies in this country, who called the prohibition of the hijab against the principles of democracy, human free will, etc., for A comprehensive analysis of the issue was presented.
The arrival of Ashura day and the rise of opposition to the restriction of hijab in secondary schools forced the police and the security apparatus of the Republic of Azerbaijan to take special precautions, but the mourning of this day – although in the atmosphere of mosques – was held more passionately than in previous years.
The news analyzes of Sima Azari TV pointed out the situation of the several-year ban on mourning in the streets of this country, along with the news and pictures of the freedom of British Muslims to mourn in one of the specified streets in a non-Muslim country in the heart of Europe.
