Defending the Disinherited and Downtrodden Against the Arrogance
“The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran paid special
attention to the protection of the disinherited masses against the arrogant
powers so that only few months after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, he
put forth the idea of the establishment of an international party called the
Party of the Disinherited.”
[20]
In this regard, he states:
“I hope that one party called the Party of the
Disinherited is established in the world and all the downtrodden of the world
cooperate in this party to remove the problems existing in their way and rise
against the arrogant powers and plunderers of the East and West and will no more
allow the arrogant powers to oppress the downtrodden of the world.”
[21]
Clearly the Islamic system of Iran, in the light of its
divine mission, cannot keep silent against inequity and oppression and considers
campaign against oppression and support of the disinherited and oppressed people
of the world particularly the oppressed Muslims as one of its objectives in the
world and has full faith in the divine promise on the rule of the disinherited
over the world: “And We wished to be gracious to those who were being depressed
in the land, to make them leaders and make them heirs.”
[22]
Commenting on the same issue the Leader of the Islamic
Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei states:
“Whatever we have, we owe to the blessings of genuine,
revolutionary Islam, which is concerned about the fate of the oppressed and
disinherited classes… the Islam of the weak and barefooted. The Islam that
grants dignity and mastery to the low classes of the society and rescues them
from lowliness and wretchedness. The Islam that overthrows the bullying thugs
and powerful oppressors from their seat of power. The Islam for whose spread our
honorable Imam spent his entire life.”
