Imam Khomeini belongs to all the Muslims in the world

Imam Khomeini belonged to all the Muslims, I mean he wasn’t just for the Shias and he supported all the issues of Islam and Palestine. Also he leaded all the poor throughout the world and he Christians and Jews had no difference for him and this is a sign of the Islamic spirit within him that made him look at all the poor with one view and it had no importance for him whether that poor person is a Muslim or not.

Imam Khomeini always emphasized on the unity of Muslims

The principle of unity among all Islamic sects is notable and undeniable. Therefor Imam Khomeini, by having full knowledge in this subject, named this week as the Unity Week.

Hamid Reza Asefi:

The message to Gorbachev was a sign of Imam’s power

This letter has different dimensions which we could speak about it; philosophical, religious and cultural dimensions which are all notable, but about the political dimension of the message; we should consider that in the situation which the message was sent no one could have thought or predicted about the collapse of the Soviet Union, but Imam had done it, and this shows that if any one wants to view the situation with out considering the developments of time he has too have a inspirational point of view.

How did the Soviet Union end?

The collapse of the Soviet Union made the bipolar world disappear, a world which through the last decades had decided about the political destiny of countries. This situation eased the reliance on culture to determine different layers of foreign policies in a government-nation level by the international players. On the other hand, it confirmed that along with the cultural role of politicians, we shouldn't forget that not seeing the effects of religious features, believes and traditions of nations on structuring a culture would cause disasters.
