Iranian youth

Who is depressed: Iranian youth or western youth? Ayatollah Khamenei asnwers

Iranian youth are among the most enthusiastic, active and lively youth in the world. If you take a look at the western world, you will see that European youth are depressed. The number of individuals who commit suicide is so large there. Depression exists in those places where a younger one carries a gun at a safe and apparently quiet beach and kills about 80 children with a volley of bullets, because of the psychological pressures that he suffers from.

Auspiciously, Iranian youth are striving and enthusiastic youth. This is the exact opposite of what some hostile information centers - which are mostly foreign – say [about the Iranian youth]. They say that Iranian youth are depressed and therefore, we should create entertaining environments for them. How are we going to do that? By organizing music concerts, sexually integrated camps and other such forms of freedom.

 

This is what follows their claim, but this is not the case. Contrary to what they say, today Iranian youth are among the most enthusiastic, active and lively youth in the world. If you take a look at the western world, you will see that European youth are depressed. The number of individuals who commit suicide is so large there. Depression exists in those places where a younger one carries a gun at a safe and apparently quiet beach and kills about 80 children with a volley of bullets, because of the psychological pressures that he suffers from.

 

This is what happened two, three years ago in a European country. Everyone was informed of it and it was reflected throughout the world. Depression is this. Depression means the effort of a European youth to become a member of DAESH. The reports that we have received show that a large number of DAESH's suicide attacks are carried out by European youth. Such youth want to commit suicide. They think that this kind of suicide is exciting and that it is better than drowning oneself in such and such a river in Europe. This is why they go there and seek excitement as a result of their depression. It is they who are depressed.

 

Iranian youth who on the 23rd of Ramadan held a demonstration on the streets in the heat of the summer and while they were fasting, stayed up the night before in prayers on Nights of Qadr and who participated in Friday prayers after the demonstration, while they were sitting in the sun are miles away from depression! They are lively and enthusiastic.
