Message [Inviting the clergy and the preachers to reveal the crimes and treason of the Shah's regime]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Honorable preachers, prominent orators (may God multiply their like) and all the honorable societies for mourning the Leader of the Oppressed (Imam Husayn)( `a ):
I respectfully inform you that the despotic regime, being apprehensive of what may be said about their oppression and inhumane, anti-religious and treasonable acts on the pulpits of the mosques and in the gatherings of the Muslims, has recently taken another scandalous move. They are trying to press the honorable preachers and heads of the mourning societies to keep silent about their oppressions and so to leave the despotic regime at liberty. I have to notify that not only are these pledges legally invalid, and violating them is not prosecutable, but anyone trying to make you pledge anything is prosecutable. It is strange that the regime shamelessly claims to be supported by the overall majority of the nation, but at the same time, they are helplessly striving in all the provinces, towns, and villages to silence the nation using terror and threat. If their claim is indeed true, why do they not let the nation alone during the coming days so that they will enjoy the public support, and the whole world will witness that they will have six million voters? If they do not, one can infer that they have published lies to agitate public opinion, against the interests of Islam and the country, which is an offence to the law and is prosecutable.
Their Eminences, the great preachers, the honorable societies and the leaders of the mourning processions have to be aware that they should fulfill their religious obligation during these days in the gatherings of the Muslims. They should learn how to make sacrifices for reviving the shari`ah from the Leader of the Oppressed and not to be frightened by the fantasies of prison and torture." Faint not nor grieve, for ye will overcome them if ye are (indeed) believers." «1»
You should be aware that the danger lurking over Islam today is not smaller than the danger posed by the Umayyad dynasty. The despotic regime is helping Israel and its functionaries (the misled and misleading sect) «2» in any way they can. The propagation organization is delivered to them and they are free to do anything in the Royal Court. «3» They have penetrated in the army, and culture and other ministries and are given key positions. Notify people of the danger of Israel and its agents. Commemorate the disasters brought to Islam, centers of Islamic jurisprudence and the Companions of Shari'ah in your mourning chants. Renounce the treacherous government's assistance to some thousand enemies of Islam, the nation, and the country, facilitating their trip to London for taking part in an anti-Islamic and treasonable congress.
At this moment, keeping silent is an approval of the despotic regime and assisting the enemies of Islam. Beware of the consequences! Beware of the Wrath of God. If any harm is done to Islam because of your silence, you will be held accountable before God Almighty and the Muslim nation." When a heresy appears, it is the `ulama''s obligation to reveal their knowledge (to defy it) or else they will be cursed by God." «4» Show your detestation toward the equality of the rights. Show your hatred for the engagement of women in the society which entails innumerable corruptions, and assist the religion of God and know that," If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm." «5» Do not be intimidated by the terror and the threats of their organizations and police forces. They are also obliged and bound, but many of them concur with you and hate the regime. May peace be upon you and upon those follow the guidance.
