Nationalist-Religious Forces

Nationalist-Religious Forces

The Nationalist-Religious Forces or Alliance of the Nationalists-Religious Activists of Iran (PerB|ائتلاف نيروهای ملی-مذهبی, "Etelaf-e Nirouha-ye Melli-Mazhabi", literally The Alliance of National-Religious Forces of Iran) is an Iranian political opposition party, which represents a number of smaller parties, political activists, writers and intellectual figures.

Formation

The alliance includes notable influential people like Ezzatollah Sahabi, Ebrahim Yazdi, Habibollah Peyman, Yousefi Eshkevari and also Reza Alijani, Ahmad Zeydabadi, Taghi Rahmani, Alireza Rajaee etc. Moreover, a number of important modern Iranian figures had been generally associated with the historical body of the alliance. Among them Ali Shariati, Mehdi Bazargan, Mahmoud Taleghani and Mohammad Nakhshab can be mentioned.

Orientation

The political and philosophical theoretical groundings of the alliance vary among the different parties and figures associated with it. Ali Shariati’s ideas about reformation in Islamic thought is, more or less, supported by all the branches of the alliance. Also, Mohammed Mosaddeq's Nationalism, which strongly considers the religious faith, is shared between the alliance's groups and people. Both leftist and rightist ideas and groups, are therefore gathered in the alliance over the centre of Nationalism and Islamic Reformation.

Organization

Official and public activities of the alliance have faced many difficulties by limiting policies of the Iran’s governments. The alliance does not have any official political body as of the modern parties. It does not have any membership procedure, official spokesman, formal central office, official meetings etc. About fifty members of the alliance were jailed in 2000 for nearly two years after an unofficial, periodical and normal meeting at a private house of one of the members.

Recently, Ezzatollah Sahabi, has been named as the president of the Alliance of the Nationalists-Religious Activists, by the Iranian media and this is presumably by an internal agreement within the alliance itself.
