Imam Khamenei

Imam Khomeini's message, conveyed by Ayatollah Khamenei to the people of Pakistan

Pressures exerted on us by the U.S., reactionaries, East and West are not because we are Iranian; rather it is because [we follow] Islam.

 

For a trip I made to Pakistan, Imam Khomeini (RA) asked me to tell the religious scholars in Pakistan that: pressures exerted on us by the U.S., reactionaries, East and West are not because we are Iranian; rather it is because [we follow] Islam. The day world feels we are – God Forbidden – not serious about Islam, the day the Arrogant front feels that we would deal on Islam and we are indifferent, those pressures would come to an end. I conveyed what Imam Khomeini had said word by word to the religious scholars of Pakistan – where a large number of Muslim scholars from across Pakistan had gathered.
