Imam Khamenei: Islamic Awakening Inspires International Developments
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei says the current
awareness and wave of Islamic Awakening in the Arab world will inspire future events in the world.
"The developments in the US and Europe suggest a massive change that the world
will witness in the future," Ayatollah Khamenei, who was addressing thousands of Basiji forces, said on Sunday.
"Today, the slogans of the Egyptians and Tunisians are also chanted by people in New York and California; at the same time, the people of Egypt and Tunisia explicitly call Hizbullah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad as their role model and every one knows the movements have learnt the lesson of perseverance against arrogance from the first teacher of the modern age, the Imam of the Iranian nation as well as his patient, sovereign nation," he said.
Imam Khamenei said those familiar with the inspirational truth of the Islamic Revolution, have waited 30 years for this uprising just as arrogant powers have shuddered in fear of such movements for three decades.
"The Islamic Republic is currently the focal point of the awakening movement of nations and this reality is what has upset the enemies," said the Leader.
Imam Khamenei said hegemonic powers use intimidation of nations and the heads of states as their main approach, adding the Iranian nation showed the people of the world the false awe of bullying powers and that they can be defeated, and this is the main reason Iran has infuriated domineering powers.
The Islamic Leader dismissed Western propaganda about Iranian involvement in the uprising of nations and said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran has no need for such things (meddling) because the continuation, resistance and honesty of the Islamic establishment is in itself a source of inspiration and guide for nations."
During the large gathering of top Basij units from across the country called the force a follower of the Ashura school of thought and an eternal inspiration for the Iranian nation which has grown up in the heart of the nation and serves the nation.
His Eminence Imam Khamenei also said the identity and reality of Basij complied with that of Muharram and Ashura, adding that Imam Hussein (A.S.) and his followers took to the field diligently to promote the truth and rescue the people. "They sowed the seeds of prudence and political timeliness across history and their drive set the stage for the formation of an ever-widening current from the noon of Ashura day to end," the Supreme Leader added.
"Basij is political rather than politicized or partisan; it is Mujahid but not extremist; it is deeply devout but not fanatic; it is prudent but not self-absorbed; it seeks to a make the most possible bonds in society but never compromises on principles; it follows Islamic ethics but not hypocritically; it is actively engaged in developing the world but steers away from worldly whims," Sayyed Khamenei said.
