Letter [to The `ulama' and clergymen of Kermanshah]

In His Most Exalted Name

To Their Eminences, the distinguished `ulama' and Hujjat al-Islams of Kermanshah- may their blessings last:

I was delighted to receive your respected missive. Please convey my regards and gratitude to all the respected residents and the brave tribes of your region who suffered enormous hardships during the past few days in fighting the enemies of Islam and those of the country. I pray to God, the Exalted, to make all of you successful in exalting the pure word and in wiping out the enemies of Islam and the Muslims. As for your mentioning of purging of your area of the counter-revolutionar and communists, this will be taken care of, God willing. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
