In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The government is strengthening Israel and Baha'is
I am much obliged to you for taking the trouble. Please give my regards to the people and the clergy of Hamedan and say that the religion of you Muslim people is in danger of being assaulted; your administration intends to destroy you by Baha'is and Israelis. Be informed that your state has furnished 2000 Baha'is with 500 each for the air tickets to London so that they can gather and make decisions against the Qur'an and your Prophet. In a trade contract between Oil Incorporation and Thabit Pasal «2» for selling him oil and petroleum, your state has granted him a profit of five million tumans, through a discount, which provided for the Baha'is trip to London and for their propagations. Please tell the people that your state expends on strengthening the Jews, the Israelis, and Baha'is from the taxes it exacts from you Muslims.
I am fully informed that they are going to officially recognize the Israeli Government, in spite of the wishes of the Muslim Iranian Nation and other Islamic and Arab nations. However, it seems that they are afraid of you and are not sure yet whether to announce it officially. They attempted it two years ago, which was protested by `ulama' and the Muslim people and they had to deny it soon. They are planning to do it again. Please inform the others and they will in turn inform the rest; all of you should tell everybody to be ready, be united, until the day, it is the time to strike this government, which is a servant to the foreigners and an enemy of Islam, a blow to the mouth. God supports us and we will move forward.

After being introduced to Khomeini, a person read out a statement on behalf of the crowd which said:" We have come to meet you on behalf of the people of Hamedan, its clergymen and tradesmen, both to have the honor of meeting you and greeting you on the occasion and to announce the support of Hamedan people for Your Eminence. We are representing the people of Hamedan to announce to you that they will support you to the last, for destroying the Mu`awiyah of our time". Then Imam Khomeini spoke [the above text]«۲»- He is a famous Baha'i capitalist.
