- "It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it."[1] —Aung San Suu Kyi
Mohammad Rakhshandehroo, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Professor Rakhshandehroo) is the top dog among the Iranian members of the extremist Judeophobic[2] pro-Hezbollah[3] Khomeinist organization Shia Association of Bay Area (SABA Islamic Center). Dr. Rakhshandehroo has served in a variety of leading roles at SABA, including Secretary of the Board of Directors. Upon the reorganization of SABA, Inc., in 2007, Dr. Rakhshandehroo became a member of the new SABA Board of Trustees and, thus, remained among the top dogs of the pro-Iranian regime association. Dr. Rakhshandehroo also serves as a back-up imam at the pro-Hamas Shia Association of Bay Area.

Dr. Mohammad Rakhshandehroo is an Iranian national and an early staunch supporter of the anti-America leader and infamous mass-murderer and hostage-taker Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Dr. Mohammad Rakhshandehroo and Alavi Foundation
Dr. Mohammad Rakhshandehroo is SABA's point man at Alavi Foundation, the infamous anti-American Khomeinist foundation based in New York City. Dr. Rakhshandehroo was able to enhance his leading position among the other top dogs at SABA when he successfully secured a $500,000.00 loan for Shia Association of Bay Area from Alavi Foundation.
500 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10110
On November 12, 2009, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York filed an amended Complaint seeking the forfeiture of Alavi Foundation's interest in the 36-story office tower located at 650 Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
The United States Government alleged "that the Alavi Foundation has been providing numerous services to the Iranian Government and transferring funds from 650 Fifth Avenue Company to Bank Melli, a bank wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Iran."[4]

- "The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be." —Socrates
Dr. Mohammad Rakhshandehroo and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
- "Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury." —Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Dr. Mohammad Rakhshandehroo is a staunch backer of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In fact, Dr. Rakhshandehroo habitually flies to New York City to support President Ahmadinejad and his delegation upon their travel there to attend meetings at the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan. Numerous Iranians residing throughout the United States flock to the Big Apple whenever Ahmadinejad is scheduled to stay there, some to encourage him while many others to protest his presence in America.

The Khomeinist leadership of Shia Association of Bay Area overwhelmingly backs Ahmadinejad.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once said "The wave of the Islamic Revolution [of Khomeini] will soon reach the entire world." Indeed, with people like those at SABA, Khomeini's so-called Islamic Revolution has already reached the shores of the San Francisco Bay!
Dr. Mohammad Rakhshandehroo and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
- "If it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul." —William Shakespeare
Like many other top dogs at Shia Association of Bay Area, Dr. Mohammad Rakhshandehroo is a person of interest to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
During a 2008 legal presentation organized by SABA point man Mehboob "Bob" Abedi and held at SABA Islamist center, Dr. Rakhshandehroo proudly indicated that he knows people who have been interviewed by the FBI on multiple occasions.
Indeed, to such a leading Khomeinist and promoter of Hezbollah and Hamas, questioning by the agents of the "oppressive" U.S. Government is something to be worn as a badge of honor.
