Tehran, YJC. Prominent clergy says the country possesses lots of resources all gone waste for slouchiness and fraud.
Grand
ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli who was speaking in a meeting on Saturday said "In
this country we got everything. What we don’t have is capability and honesty. What
we do have is embezzlement and ineptitude.”
Pointing
to the verses of the Quran regarding the importance of work he said "Working
and making effort are not cancelled out even on Fridays after the Friday prayer.
The holy Quran outlined finance and economy and resistance. If we would like to
stand up against enemies there is everything in this country, and they are
abundant. But the resistance culture has to be defined.”
"Let
you know that the country’s strength is in its spine. If people’s spine has to
be straight their pockets have to be full. A nation whose pockets are empty has
a broken spine. They call the needy as they do because he cannot resist,” the
ayatollah exclaimed.
Pointing
to the country’s resources in various sections, Amoli said "Forage has nothing
to do with the nuclear energy. It takes some spunk to produce it. There are all
these lands and resources that are fit for producing forage. Why are meat and
dairy products so expensive?”
