Interview

An interview with Molla Mohammad Ghasem and Jalal Omar al-Hamid from Kenya: foreign guests attending the International conference on the Islamic Unity, Tehran, january 2013

Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister:

Imam Khomeini was the great harbinger of Islamic Unity

Imam Khomeini stressed on pure Islam from the beginning and so a unity was made among the Islamic system so we without relying on the West or the East the Islamic system could be established. Imam Khomeini instead of paying attention to the differences, payed attention to fate, piety and Jihad.

Hojatoleslam Taskhiri:

Before Imam, Islamic unity was mostly a theoretical discussion

At the time which the Islamic world was looking for unity among its children, they didn’t have the necessary instruments, but Imam Khomeini by founding the great government of the Islamic republic, paved the path for other Muslims.”
