Colonialism's role in the discord among the masses of people
I thank all the gentlemen who have come here to meet us in person. We should have had a rapport previously. The various classes of people should relate with each other. The disparity that had existed among strata of the people during all this time was a problem that the colonialists had created; that is, their lackeys had engendered this separation among the people through propaganda. From now on, we should stay together in the same way that we have been together and became victorious up to this stage aiming for the same goal, which is Islam and Islamic Republic. We should all be together until the total dominance of the Islamic decrees in the country, and we should not be separated.
Islamic banks concurrent with Islamic transformation
In the country where the taghouti elements had lived for long years and the people had been transmuted into corrupt beings, everyone must be transformed into Islamic and Godly human beings, and in Islam, an Islamic being will never commit any treachery; nor will he heed Eastern and Western thoughts. These banks in Iran must be transformed from their taghouti orientation into something with an Islamic character, one that will not practice usury, God willing.
I thank you for the fact that you have declared it your intention to transform the taghouti character of banks into an Islamic entity and establish Islamic banks. However, I am waiting for action to be taken in this regard. Will your words be put into action? Will affairs that used to be carried out in the previous regime take place again or not? Transformation must take place in the content; we are not so concerned with names; we are interested in the content. The content should be Islamic. During this recent period, you have seen and heard statements made in the propagation regarding social justice, Islam, Qur'an, but they were devoid of any substance or reality. «1» It is the same way now. If what these gentlemen, who have come here, said is true that banks will acquire an Islamic substance and they materialize, then their statements will be right and (we can say banks) have undergone an Islamic transformation. However, if they are mere words, and there have been such words before, then a different situation will be created.
I thank you, gentlemen. And I hope that you will achieve prosperity all together, transform, and reform Iran together, and everyone, in whatever capacity, should support the government and be with the nation until the fulfillment of all our Islamic goals, that is, prosperity of all of you and humanity, God willing.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
