Iran is destined to a failed state.

It is madness for anyone to believe that Shiite Mullahs have God-given right to rule Iran. In today’s world, the Iranian stands the most uncivilized people in the world. The Iranian failed to understand what is equality and justice for all means; they failed to understand the modernity. They failed to recognise the changes in the region and realise the political environment.
Iran is destined to a failed state. Iran economically, technologically and culturally is far behind its neighbours. Iranian elites are demoralised and kept backwards, the ruling elites backwardness has a price, the Iranian going to pay that price. It has been said that it is very dangerous for an individual, or groups to believe in their own lies, unfortunate for the Iranian they have fallen in that trap.

On the 14th of June, Iranian voters go to polling stations to elect a new president for 4 years. Iran is a Shiite majority state, ruled according to Shiite dogma. Those who are born and believe in 12 Imams Shiite sect of Islam are qualified to contest the election for presidential office.
 It has been proven that there is no pure state in the world. The smallest state in the world has its own minority. Iran is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religion state. The Iranian population are divided between Muslim and non-Muslim.

The Iranian Muslim population again divided between the Shiite majority and Sunni minority about 20 to 30 percent of Iranians are Sunni (it is a guess precise estimate is not available). The Sunni sect of Muslim is the largest religious minority group in Iran. The religious loyalty overrules ethnic loyalty in the Middle East and South Asia. There is the state-sanctioned discrimination against the non-Muslim and the Sunni Muslim, in some cases, the Sunni Muslim end up worse off than non-Muslim.

According to the Iranian constitution, a non-Muslim and a Sunni cannot be loyal to the Shiite state (Iran). The Shiite considers themselves and considered by the state authority superior to their non-Shiite population of the state.

The majority of Iran’s dominant ethnic groups tend to focus loyalty upon Shiite religion rather than their ethnic backgrounds that serve as the basis for fusing many Iranian ethnic groups' loyalty to national identity. The Shiite religion fuses the Persian, Arab, Azari(Turk), 20 percent of the Kurdish population and the others minority loyalties into a single religious loyalty and Iran as a shell for the Shiite Ummah.
Apart from Shiite religion the Persian, Azari, (Turk) the Arab, Kurd (20 per cent of the Kurdish population inside Iran are a believer of the Shiite sect of Islam) have nothing in common.

The Baluch in the western Baluchistan (Iran)

The people of the western Baluchistan are ethnically Baluch and religiously Sunni Muslim. The western Baluchistan once was a part of the Baluch tribal confederacy. The Baluch in the western Baluchistan has nothing in common with the Iranian population except for suffering under the Persian and Shiite religion brutality. The Iranian forces invaded Baluchistan in 1927. The Baluch in the western Baluch regards their land as occupied land.

 On the 14th of June, Iranian voters go to polling stations to elect a new president for 4 years. The foundation of every modern state is the equality of its citizen under the law. No one can claim that persons are equal in intelligence and attractive appearance. Equality of individuals that is a source that provides a legitimate authority for the state.

Individuals are different in their capacity and character but they are equally entitled as human beings and respects. A good society is dependent upon plans to organise its great powers and small powers. All member of society equally enables to make the best from the power they possess.

The Baluch have not got a favourite candidate to vote for on the 14th June presidential election, the sad fact is that no candidate talks about issues concerning the Baluch and others 20 million excluded Sunni population of Iran. They have to choose between devils and evil, I do not know if there is any difference between devils and evil.

Preserving the Baluch values within Iran is not achievable, because the Persian elites and Shiite rulers of Iran denial the three basic rights; integrity B) religion moral and political choice, c) survival.

For any state to survive the citizen of that state must be satisfied all the times. But the Baluch constantly live under the fear of violence of the state or violence from the state-sponsored mobs. Without a political choice, the Baluch cannot employ means to hold government accountable. When the Baluch continued existence is under the threat one cannot achieve anything from these elections.
