Ayatollah Khamenei: Islam-based 'resistance movement' upsetting US

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Ayatollah Khamenei said Sunday the sensitivity of the US to the Middle East is due to the rise of Islam and Islamic awakening which is threatening arrogant powers.

"That the world's arrogant powers and at the top of them the criminal America and the Great Satan are sensitive to Western Asia is due to a spirit of reception of Islam and Islamic awakening among the regional nations," he told participants at an international Islamic unity conference.

"Anywhere that Islam has dominated the hearts and minds of the people, the arrogance has been slapped, and we seriously believe that the arrogance will be slapped again from the Islamic awakening in this region," the Leader added.

Ayatollah Khamenei urged thinkers and religious scholars to "strengthen the Islamic awakening and resistance movement in the region as much as they can, because the only way for the salvation of the region is to spread this spirit and thinking.

The Leader also addressed certain rulers of the Islamic states, saying, "Our advice to you is to return to the rule of Islam and come under the authority of Allah because the rule of America and Satan will not benefit you."

The Leader stressed the significance of uniting around the light of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) by Muslims to overcome challenges in the world.

"At a time when the world was immersed in the darkness of ignorance and deceit, God bestowed upon the entire mankind the light of the Prophet Muhammad. Also today if we follow this light, it will lead us to prosperity and salvation," he said.

"If humanity achieves the maturity to accept the Prophet’s invitation, all of its calamity will be resolved," Ayatollah Khamenei added.

The Leader said the world today is in darkness as a result of the oppression practiced by the domineering powers.

"Today, humanity is encountered with afflictions. This is not only the case in the Muslim world, rather countries that are apparently developed are also suffering from afflictions," he said, adding Islam can fulfill all these needs.
