Undoubtedly had the Islamic Revolution remained confined to the geographical borders of Iran, it would not have provoked the animosity of the arrogance to the present extent, but the characteristics and messages of genuine Islam do not recognize geographical borders. Hence, the Muslim nations were influenced by the messages of the Islamic Revolution and followed its model, which resulted in an Islamic awakening and dignity and grandeur of the Muslims across the world. Wherever a Muslim took pride in the Islamic Revolution, it led to honor and dignity and he woke up to rise against the injustices and oppressions of arrogance and its lackeys. The security of the diabolic powers was endangered and hence they became hostile to this revolution and tried to suppress it, but did not succeed.
"This nation holds a magnificent flag. The flag you hoisted has awakened the world. Just see what is going on in Palestine today; what is going on in North Africa. See how Islam is restoring its rights in the Muslim societies. All these achievements have been accomplished by you. They had raised Muslim in a manner that they felt weak vis--vis the culture of arrogance and infidelity. In many places the Muslims have been able to restore their rights and regain a share in the government systems, while before the Islamic Revolution no one dared to speak of Islam. In the Muslim countries where the Friday and daily prayers leaders set up organizations and prosper mosques to become centers of movement, until yesteryears the mosques belonged to a bunch of disabled old men. Today, those mosques are the site of the youth and center of movements. It has been, in effect, accomplished by you. It was accomplished by your movement and your honorable leader that divine man. This is why the enemies of Islam are angry with you: "Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion."[38] Whether the arrogance likes it or not; whether the US likes it or not; and whether the Zionism likes it or not, Islam has reawakened this great hero of centuries has once again risen in the middle of the scene. The enemies of Islam cannot do anything [against it].[39]
Although this wave of awakening has encompassed most of the Islamic countries and Muslims of the world, other nations too under the influence of the humane messages of this revolution feel dignified and greatness. Other nations now feel that they are powerful and are able to withstand the domineering powers. The countries that could never clearly and openly oppose the United States, talk of opposing Washington and the West today.
"In the new era, which was launched by the Imam and its sphere is not limited to Iran, the masse are the main determining factors and decision-makers; it is they who direct the currents You have observed that in the Eastern European countries millions of masses move and come to the scene in the same style our nation did in confronting and opposing the oppressive monarchical system. In other words, the basic characteristic of the new era is victory of blood over the sword, that is, during the new era, as it happened in Iran, all citizens without any equipment and weapon, only with their souls and bodies come to the scene and expert pressure on the oppressive, usurping governments."[40]
