Rajavi, like a cult leader

Pedram has an interesting personal experience of Masoud Rajavi, MKO's leader:

Anyone who has ever met him will tell you about Rajavi’s piercing eyes. He constantly watches every little detail going around him and never misses even a single detail. He is the epitome of a cult leader, taking away your sense of who you are and replacing it with his own “trance” almost instantly. A friend once joked that if you ever give him a 2 hour television spot, he could hypnotize the entire nation of Iran and as much as I hate to admit it, he may have a point.

He then adds:

But despite my problems with the group, it’s ideology, structure, leadership and methods, I certainly hope this isn’t used to strengthen the position of Iranian government in any way. Furthermore, it would be a sin and a crime if any of it’s rank and file members are forced to or are handed over to Iran.
