Message [Reply to the message of congratulations on the 3 rd anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhafi, President of the Libyan People,

I acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's message of congratulations on the occasion of the 3 rd anniversary of the victory of Islamic Revolution of Iran with appreciation.

It is regrettable that at a time when the Muslims need greater unity and solidarity their blood-thirsty enemies headed by the world-devouringUS, criminals such as Saddam and the Ba`ath Party have aggressed upon the revolutionary and Islamic Iran in the name of Islam, and kill defenseless people with bombs, missile and other destructive weapons while the reactionary rulers of the region support their crimes, provide the aggresors with all resources and raise no objections to these savage deeds.

May God's peace be upon you!

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
