Sayings of Imam Khomeini


PALESTINE AND AL-QUDS




  • Jerusalem is the first Kiblah of Muslims and it belongs to them.


  • All
    must know that the superpowers aim in creating Israel does not end in the
    occupation of Palestine. They plan, Heaven forbid, to extend the fate of Palestine to all Arab countries.


  • Do not
    the authorities of the nation see or know that diplomatic talks with history's
    criminal and powerful politicians cannot save Lebanon, Palestine or Quds
    and the number of crimes and oppressions increases daily.


  • We are on the side of the oppressed which-ever pole they may be in. Palestinians
    are oppressed by the Israelites, therefore we side with them.


  • We fully support our Palestinian brothers and those of southern Lebanon in their
    fights against the usurper Israel.


  • Neither the Iranian Muslim nation, nor any other Muslims and, as a matter of fact,
    no open-minded individual, will recognize Israel. We shall always support
    our Arab and Palestinian brothers.


  • We must all rise, destroy Israel and replace it with the heroic Palestinian nation.


  • The Quds Day which is coincidental with the Night of Destiny (Lailatul-Qadr) must be revived among the Muslims and be the starting point of their awakening and awareness.


  • Muslims of the world should regard the Quds Day as All-Muslims Day or the oppressed People's Day.


  • It is
    the intonation of Allah-o-Akbar, the cry of our nation, that disappointed
    the Shah in Iran and the usurpers in Palestine. Essentially, it is the
    duty of all Muslims to liberate the Quds and remove this nucleus of evil
    from Islamic lands.


  • The
    issue of Quds is not a private or personal issue. It is not the exclusive
    problem of one country nor a present-day problem of all Muslims. Rather,
    it is a phenomenon concerning the monotheists and faithful people of all
    ages-past, present and future.


  • Quds
    belongs to the Muslims and must be returned to them.


  • The
    Quds Day is the Day of Islam.


  • The
    Quds Day is a day in which the destinies of the oppressed nations must
    to determined.


  • The
    Quds Day is a universal day. It is not an exclusive day for Quds itself.
    It is a day for the oppressed to rise and stand up against the arrogant.


  • The Quds Day is a day in which Islam is to be revived.


  • The Quds Day is Islam's Live Day!


  • The
    Quds Day which fall on the last days of the God's Great Month (Ramadan)
    is a proper day on which all Muslims be freed from the bondage of the Big
    Satan (Great Devil, USA) and other superpowers and join the Infinite Might of God.


THE QUDS OCCUPATIONIST REGIME (ISRAEL)




  • I regard
    supporting the plan for independence of Israel and its recognition a tragedy
    for the Muslims and an explosion for the Islamic governments.


  • The
    usurper state of Israel with the aims it has pose great danger to Islam
    and the Islamic states.


  • Brothers
    and sisters must know that America and Israel are enemies to the fundamentals
    of Islam.


  • The
    foolish idea of greater Israel makes them commit any crime.


  • Let
    brotherly Arab nations and the Palestinian and Lebanese brothers know that
    all their miseries are caused by America and Israel.


  • Regarding
    Israel, certainly we shall not help an illegitimate, usurper government
    which is trespassing the rights of the Muslims and is an enemy of Islam.


  • Islam
    and the Muslims and all international standards regard Israel as a usurper
    and aggressor and we do not approve the least negligence in terminating
    its aggressions.


  • I have
    often said and you have heard me say that Israel will not settle for these
    agreements for it regards the Arab domination over territories from the
    Nile to the Euphrates as usurpation.


  • Israel
    must be eradicated from the page of history.


  • It is
    incumbent on every Muslim to arm himself against Israel.


  • Those
    who support Israel must realize they are nurturing a pit viper up their
    sleeves.


  • Do not
    support Israel, this enemy of Islam and Arabs for this listless viper will
    have no mercy on you, young or old if it gets within your reach.


  • It is
    necessary that all freedom-loving peoples of the world unite with the Muslims
    and together condemn the inhuman aggressions of Israel.


  • Iran
    has been and is the diehard enemy of Israel.


  • We shall
    reject Israel and shall have no relations with it for it is a usurper state
    and is our enemy.


  • I announce
    to all Islamic states and Muslims of the world, wherever they are, that
    the dear Shiite nation hates Israel and its agents and is disgusted with
    and hates the states that compromise with Israel.


  • We shall
    not have relations with Israel as it is a usurper state and is warring
    against Muslims.


  • We shall
    oppose Israel for it has usurped the rights of Arab peoples.


  • Israel
    is warring against Muslims, and usurps the lands of our brothers, we shall
    not give it any oil.


  • Israel
    is rejected by us, we shall never give it oil nor ever recognize it.


  • The
    criminal hands of the world arrogant states will not be severed off the
    Islamic lands unless Muslim nations and oppressed peoples rise against
    them and their offsprings especially Israel.


  • Israel
    is a usurper and must leave Palestine soon and the way to it is that Palestinian
    brothers uproot this core of corruption and colonialization from the region
    so that peace may return to the area.


  • It is
    a duty of the proud nation of Iran to harness the interests of America
    and Israel in Iran and invade them.


  • It is
    necessary for oil producing Islamic countries to use the oil and other
    things available to them as weapons against Israel and the colonisers.


  • It is
    incumbent on all Muslims especially Muslim countries to do away with this
    core of corruption any way possible.


  • This
    degenerative tumour that has, with backing of major powers, been planted
    in the heart of Islamic states and whose roots daily threaten the Islamic
    lands must be removed with help and effort of Islamic states and the great
    nations of Islam.

THE ARROGANTS AND THE SUPERPOWERS




  • We would
    surely destroy all arrogant powers if we could have the power to do it.


  • The
    peace and safety of the world is keyed to the extinction of the arrogant.
    As long as these domineering, uncultured group exist on earth, the oppressed
    will not gain the inheritance that Almighty God has granted them.


  • Of all
    the blows meted out on us by the big powers, the blow to our personality
    is the worst.


  • Today
    world conditions are so that all countries are under political supervision
    of the superpowers.


  • All
    the troubles in which nations are bogged down are caused by superpowers.


  • The
    whole aim of these criminals is to gain power, power with which to clobbers
    anyone that stops in their path.


  • It is
    incumbent on the intellectuals to reveal the disgrace of the powers and
    superpowers, all the more.


  • Let
    all know that the powerful, opportunistic countries whose ultimate wish
    is to dominate the Islamic and oppressed countries will leave them alone
    and abandon them in times of trouble, that the words faith or fidelity
    do not appear in their lexicons.


  • Unite,
    for under the aegis of unity your victory will be certain.


  • Rights
    are to be taken, arise and drive out the superpowers from the scene of
    history and life.


  • World
    powers must know that today is not like yesterday. Unlike the governments,
    the nations will not retreat from the arena with just one short tirade
    of intimidation.


  • We have
    no fear of the superpowers. While we have no access to man-slaughtering
    weapons, our faith impels us not to be afraid.


  • The
    aim is just one-the defeat of the superpowers.


  • It is
    our duty to stand and oppose the superpowers and we have the power to do
    so.


  • We are
    so suspicious of the superpowers that if they speak the truth we think
    that they say so to deceive the people.


  • Today,
    all superpowers collectively oppose this nation in all its Islamic aspects.
    We must wake up and realize that their propaganda is more harmful to us
    than wars.


  • The
    basic purpose of colonizing governments is to wipe out the Quran, the ulema
    and Islam itself.


  • That
    day is blissful to us in which the domination of worldmongers over this
    oppressed nation and over other oppressed nations is smashed and all nations
    take their destinies in their own hands.


  • The
    slap-in-the face which the superpowers received from Iran, was matchless
    in all their lives.

NATURE OF THE USA GOVERNMENT




  • We have
    been hurt more by America than by all others.


  • American
    domination carries with it the entire miseries of the oppressed nations.


  • America
    is the number-one-enemy of the oppressed and deprived peoples of the world.


  • America
    says 'we have interests in the Region.' Why should it have interests in
    our Region and why should the interests of the Muslims belong to America!?


  • Muslim
    nations hate foreigners generally, Americans, especially.


  • Let
    the world know that any trouble that Iranian nation and Muslim nations
    have is caused by foreigners, by America.


  • The
    most important and painful problem that Islamic nations and non-Islamic
    nations of the dominated states face concerns America.


  • All
    of our distresses are caused by America.


  • Our
    entire misery is by the hand of America.


  • America
    wants you for your oil, wants you as a market, to take away the oil and
    sell you junk!


  • The
    real enemies of the Quran, Islam and its holy Prophet (SAW) are the superpowers,
    especially America.


  • America,
    this natural criminal that has set the world on fire and its colleague,
    world Zionism, to reach their objectives commit crimes that pens and tongues
    are ashamed to describe.


  • Our
    entire troubles come from America and Israel.


  • Let
    the president of America realize that he is the most hateful individual
    to our nation.


  • The
    feelings of the Iranian nation concern American government, not American
    nation.

FIGHTING AMERICA




  • Shower
    all your cries down on America.


  • Today,
    America is the number one enemy of our whole nation.


  • Cold
    and warm weapons, that is , pens, words and machineguns should all be aimed
    at the enemies of mankind, headed by America.


  • We believe
    Muslims should unite and together slap America and know that they can do
    it!


  • We do
    not want America to work for us, we override America.


  • If opposition
    to America implies independence of that country, then, by all means, we
    are opposed to it and if this point is what America is afraid of, then
    let it remain afraid.


  • Our
    common enemies today are Israel and America and others like them. They
    want to destroy our prestige and put us back in bondage. Repel the common
    enemies!


  • The
    stigma that this Movement inflicted on America has never been experienced
    by any one.


  • Our
    crime is that we oppose America.


  • Much
    better we all perish than live in misery under American or Israeli hands.


  • O oppressed
    peoples of the world! Wherever you are and from whatever group or layer
    you come from, arise and do not fear the yelling and ruckus of America
    and other powers and make the world too narrow and tight for them.


  • America
    cannot act as a swaggerer before the Muslims.


  • America
    can't do a damn!


  • The
    fight, the dispute now going on is not America and us, it is between Islam
    and paganism.


  • Counteracting
    America is presently above all our problems. If today our forces become
    divided, it benefits America. Right now, America is the enemy and all our
    equipments should be aimed at this enemy.


  • Our
    perfect happiness comes the day when the domination of all the Eastern
    and Western colonisers, especially that of worldmongering America is removed
    from the heads of the Muslims.


  • America
    can defeat us but not our Revolution. for this reason I am confident of
    our victory. American government does not understand the concept of martyrdom.


  • I am
    confident if we carefully perform and continue our duty which is to fight
    the criminal America, our children shall taste the sweet nectar of martyrdom.

RELATIONS WITH THIE USA




  • Our
    relation with America is the relations of the oppressed to the oppressor,
    relations of a robbed person to his robber.


  • We are
    not a protectorate of America or Soviet Union nor of any other power.


  • May
    God awaken those who dream of America.


  • The
    day America praises us that day we must mourn.


  • We do
    not want America to supervise us. We do not want America to take away the
    entire gains of our nations.


  • It is
    a disgrace for a Muslim country to extend a band to America and ask for
    bread.


  • We shall
    not establish relations with America unless it became humane and give up
    oppressing others.


  • We will
    establish relations with America and the USSR provided they do not interfere
    in our domestic affairs and have good relations with us.

THE WEST AND WESTERNIZATION




  • By autosuggestion
    we must realize that nothing goes on in the West except the idea of keeping
    us behind from the caravan of progress and civilization.


  • We accept
    the advancements of the Western world but not the Western corruption of
    which they themselves complain.


  • The
    progress of the West is materialistic, it rears the world as a wild fighting
    beast.


  • Western
    upbringing or education has divested mankind of his humanism.


  • We have
    come to believe that everything is in the West. No! That which is in the
    West is the training of savage animals.


  • We can't
    be independent, we can't have anything unless we purge our minds of westernization
    and come to know ourselves.

THE ORIENT




  • The
    Orient has lost itself It has to find itself


  • The
    Orient must wake up and separate its account from the West as far as it
    can if possible to the end, at least separate its culture.

COMMUNISM




  • From
    its inception, Communism has had the most dictatorial governments, its
    authorities have been most dictatorial, power-hungry and monopolistic persons.


  • It is
    clear to all that from now on communism may be looked up in the museums
    of World's political history.

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND HUMAN RIGHTS




  • We are
    in an age when criminals are praised and confirmed rather than being punished.


  • These
    so-called human rights agencies condemn the oppressed rather than the oppressors.


  • These
    agencies that are created for human rights, are all agencies for pilfering
    mankind.


  • They
    commit so much crime, they turn countries into grounds for massacre and
    bloodshed yet they claim: 'we cannot see human rights destroyed!'


  • We want
    to act according to the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. We want to be
    free. We want independence in our country. We want freedom.


  • This,
    and any other, nation has a right to determine its destiny itself This
    is a human right and it is embodied in the Human Rights Declaration.


  • These
    (states) speak of human rights but act against it. Islam both respects
    and observes human rights.

FOREIGN POLICY




  • While maintaining independence, we shall have friendly relation with all countries.


  • We are
    on friendly terms with all nations and, if governments behave respectfully,
    we shall reciprocate in kind.


  • The
    foreign policy of Iran is based in mutual respect with all governments
    without discriminating among them.


  • We shall
    behave with respect toward all governments provided they do not interfere
    in our internal affairs and treat us with mutual respect.


  • We should
    have relations with foreign countries which do not mean to swallow us.
    Relations with those who seek to subordinate us through relations are not
    required and these must be dealt with caution.


  • We are
    on the side of the oppressed. We support the oppressed regardless of the
    pole they are in.


  • We have
    the duty of saving the oppressed and deprived people.


  • It is
    an Islamic duty incumbent on all Muslims to help anyone who is oppressed.


  • We have
    a duty to support the oppressed and be enemy to the oppressor.


  • We are
    opposed to any deal that damages the interests of the Muslims.


  • When
    we serve the nation, the nation will support us and then foreigners' greed
    ceases.


  • We are
    not opposed to nations, we oppose oppressive governments whether they oppress
    us or our Muslim brothers.


  • We are
    not prepared to let a government use economic exchanges as levers for political
    influence and imposition of its colonialization aims.


  • World
    conditions no longer admit a few to be "masters" and all others
    to be "slaves".


  • Just
    as we do not accept oppression in our relations with other countries, we
    do not oppress others.


  • Relationships
    between a nation that has risen to free itself from the clutches of International
    pilferers and a worldmonger is always in the interest of the pilferer and
    the loss of the oppressed.


  • We oppose
    any country, whether Eastern or Western, that wants to oppress others.


  • Today
    the only non-aligned country is Iran. You cannot find another country that
    is 'non-aligned in the real sense".


  • Destroy
    anyone in any position who may want to compromise with the East or the
    West, drive him away as ruthlessly as you can.


  • Defence
    of Islam and the Hizbullah (Party of God) is the unimpeachable principle
    of the policies of the Islamic Republic.


  • We cannot
    separate our own account from that of other Muslims.


  • Care
    for the affairs of Muslims is a most necessary duty.


  • Tending
    to the affairs of Muslims is a very important religious duty.


  • We hope
    that the Islamic nations will overcome colonialization in near future,
    we shall not spare any assistance when due.


  • Our
    state is an independent sovereign state, and we are on friendly terms with
    those states that do not interfere in our domestic business.


MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND THE EMBASSIES




  • The
    Foreign Ministry can, by Islamization, better than any other agent, demonstrate
    our Islamic substance to people abroad.


  • This
    Ministry, that has to do with all other countries of the world, is more
    sensitive than any other ministry.


  • The
    responsibility of Foreign Ministry is very heavy because of its dealings
    abroad therefore, try, as much as possible, to place your embassies in
    the path of Islamic growth, progress and advancement to high status.


  • When
    people come to our embassies, they should see an Iranian setting not an
    American or French environ.


  • If embassy
    conditions, its staff, its management and attitudes be not in conformity
    with standards of the Islamic Republic, it is better not to have them.


  • Our
    embassies must be centers of publicity.


  • The
    representatives of the Islamic Republic abroad must perfectly conform to
    Islamic Order.


GOVERNMENTS OF ISLAMIC STATES




  • The
    misfortunes of the Islamic states is caused by interference of foreigners
    in their affairs.


  • Regional
    governments must know that in time of trouble neither America nor any other
    power will support them.


  • For
    more than 20 years past I have been recommending to the heads of Islamic
    states, either in my sermons or talks, to put aside the minor local disputes
    and unite in deeds and minds for advancement of Islam and its aims.


  • The problem of Islam is its Islamic governments not its nations.
