Islamic Democracy A New Idea Brought to World’s Politics by Islamic Revolution: Leader
“A religious, Islamic democracy is a new idea. We have brought this into the world’s political literature. This is what provokes the animosity of the top powers in the world against this truth and phenomenon,” the Leader said in a meeting with the members of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, the Iranian Parliament, on Wednesday.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the slogans of the Revolution are beneficial to the country, despite what some profess that the Islamic Revolution creates problems for Iran.
“No, it is the other way around. The Revolution and paying attention to these ideals are cures for the country’s sufferings.”
The Leader further referred to the anniversary of the liberation of Iran’s southwestern city of Khorramshahr during the 1980s Iraqi-imposed war on Iran, and said the liberation transformed a bitter situation into a sweet one.
“The Iranian nation was saved. This was due to their jihad, self-sacrifice, strong determination and having initiative. The spirit behind of all these virtues was sincerity and reliance on God.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to international developments, saying, “I do not know of any place where there have been as many wars as in Europe. Europe is an area where many wars arise. Two world wars started there and spread throughout the world killing tens of millions of human beings.”
The Leader also said, “hostile rivalry between nuclear powers, military moves in Europe where wars arise, new contagious diseases, and threats of food shortages—under such conditions in the world, managing countries has become more complicated.
“The country's managers should (therefore) know what great tasks await them.”
