Message [Response to a congratulatory message on the occasion of the 2 nd anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Col. Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhafi,

I acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's congratulatory message on the occasion of the 2 nd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of the Muslim and revolutionary Iranian nation and thank you for your warm greetings. I hope that under the committed and compassionate leadership of their Muslim leaders and through their unity and solidarity all the Islamic nations will be able to regain their lost glory and will succeed in severing the hands of the plunderers and imperialists of the East and the West from their sacred countries and their rich and vast resources and to liberate the Muslim masses from this sorry plight. I pray for you and for the success and prosperity of the brotherly nation of Libya. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
