Message [Reply to congratulatory message on the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Mr. Chadli Benjedid, the President of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria,

The receipt of Your Excellency's congratulatory message on the occasion of the anniversary of the victory of Islamic Revolution in Iran is hereby acknowledged with gratitude. During these ten years, the great and proud people of the Islamic Iran showed Muslims and nations under the yoke of the world tyrannical powers that by relying on God, the Exalted, fortitude and steadfastness in facing the plots and problems, they could overpower the superpowers of the world. It is hoped that by taking inspiration from similar approach, the other Muslim nations would struggle against the enemies of Islam, overtake them and not allow the enemies to insult and make a plaything of the sanctities of Islam. It is unfortunate that many of the heads of the Muslim countries were indifferent to such a grave conspiracy and also did not perform their Islamic and religious duty on sentencing to death the conspirators like the writer of the book, The Satanic Verses, and his supporters.

I beseech God, the Exalted, to awaken all Muslim nations. May peace be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
