Tehran, YJC. Suprme Leader has said his notion of cultural onslaught pointed out years ago has found resonance in Europe.
In a meeting with members of the Cultural Revolution Supreme Council on Tuesday, Ayatollah Khamenei said "Undeniable examples are starting to spring up in the words of cultural and political figures from here and there, including Europe, on the American cultural onslaught which I mentioned years ago.”
The Supreme
Leader stated that some imported toys and TV games are examples of such
onslaught, initiating young minds to the Western lifestyle.
Necessitating attempts
to identify new ways and means of cultural onslaught before they find a way
into Iran, Khamenei maintained "Delayed recognition and action will cause
problems. So action must be taken timely and wisely.”
"Some phenomena have
to be completely warded off, while some others can be accepted or amended."
Ayatollah Khamenei
asserted that the worst approach to the cultural onslaught is to adopt a
passive, defensive position against the offensive culture and said "Offensive
measures are also occasionally needed. However the case, one has to act wisely
and thoughtfully.”
Leader warned
that imported video games and toys are promoting Western lifestyle in Iran.
"The cultural invasion must be dealt with through creative efforts and, to that
effect, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting and Ministry of Culture and
Islamic Guidance shoulder very heavy responsibility,” Ayatollah Khamenei
asserted.
The Leader
urged the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to focus on producing books
and attractive films, designing useful video games and developing attractive
and meaningful toys.
Ayatollah Khamenei stated that video games and toys imported from abroad are
affecting Iranian youth, juniors and children through promotion of Western
lifestyle and behavior.
The Leader said at least "hundreds” of media outlets across the world are
specifically seeking to "influence the mindset and behavior of the Iranian
nation.”
