Speech [Goal of the revolution - strangers' plots in Kurdestan and Sistan and Balouchestan]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

I thank the gentlemen and His Eminence Mr. Kafa`mi «1» for taking the trouble to come here from afar. I hope Mr. Kaf`ami and you brothers in faith communicate the issues that are shared by other regions and that are to be highlighted at this session to the honorable residents of Balouchestan and Sistan.

That which we had in mind from the outset or I can say the nation had in mind and we took up action following the nation was that the complication observed in Iran and the threat used against Islam forced us to confront the big powers working to hamper the realization of the nation's aspirations by following the nation.

This has been a program designed by strangers many years ago to tob Iran of its rich resources without anyone standing against them. Therefore, the plan was to beguile the nation and to eliminate those who were not fooled. They made attempt to discredit them among the nation and if they failed in so doing eliminate them physically. If the class that can awaken the nation were left on their own to awaken the people, they would not let the strangers plunder the nation's enormous resources, which should be used by the nation who would then live in abject poverty. Therefore, the main point which they saw to be menacing; that is, Islam should be destroyed. The main point posing a threat to them was Islam. If they undermine Islam, they would enjoy peace of mind, doing here whatever they wished and tightening their grip. Iran is geographically in sensitive situation. Moreover, Iran treasures numerous resources of which the Iranian nation and we are unaware. Perhaps, we are unaware of many of them while they are wise to the resources. Now, if they can defeat Islam and destroy it, then the task would be easy for them. This was their course of action. Their objective was to remove Islam.

The way to eliminate Islam was to dispose of the clerics. They knew that as long as the clerics are there, they would protect Islam. The goal was to remove Islam and the way to do it was to eliminate the clerics and separating them from the nation. Therefore, they embarked on extensive propaganda to separate the clerics from the nation. They are still engaged in this attempt. When the nation is isolated from the clerics who would be stripped of any means to preach, the aliens would accomplish their ends. The nation alone cannot do anything. As long as the nation does not rely on Islam, they cannot do anything. Reliance on Islam comes about when those inviting to Islam seek only to invite to Islam. They should be present at the scene to invite people and mobilize them. Formerly, they had came to realize in scientific manner that if Islam gains power, it would not let them achieve their interests. They well knew that clerics staunchly preserved Islam. This revolution drove them to feel that what they had appreciated from scientific perspective has found expression in the form of the Islamic Revolution. I mean that they observed that a nation under the guidance of clerics in different cities coupled with faith developed within them vanquished such a great demonic empire while all powers were backing it. The US and England rendered greater support to it than others. They threatened, recommended and begged to keep the Shah. Then they insisted on Bakhtiyar «2» remaining in power. They saw the nation did not let these powers to remain in Iran, despite all their efforts and power they commanded. Our nation had no power nor was there any order to push people forward in orderly manner. The job was done by divine power. Now, they have realized that there is a power within this nation and within Islamic nations that can destroy a big power commanding everything, while the former had no arms, tank and war materials.

Now, they have come to realize what the story is. They found that they suffered a defeat and are now attempting to make up for their failings. It is time for our nation to thwart their plots vigilantly. The Kurds did not spark the fracases brought about in Kurdestan. The skirmishes were provoked by strangers who wanted to loot us in compliance with their confederates like the chiefs of the Democrat Party. They struggled to give rise to fratricide in there in order to withhold the nation from consummating the revolution.

We are afraid that the same happens in Sistan and Balouchestan. The same plot is likely to happen there, too. They do not care if 50,000 people die. They are those who slaughtered many people in Vietnam to achieve their goals. Unlike Islam, which says" whosoever killeth a human being for other than man slaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if be had killed all mankind." «3» They do not care for human beings. Their concern is material exploitation i.e. exploiting the resources and strategic location of these countries. The plot they had for Kurdestan is likely to be carried out in Sistan and Balouchestan. They want to sow the seeds of discord between Shiites and Sunnites whereas in Islam there is no difference among groups of people. Islam has come to reform humanity. It is for all human beings not for Muslims only," Islam addresses all people. It has come to release people from darkness and from the hands of Taghout, and to lead them to enlightenment. Our Sistani friends must beware lest they should be deluded by these elements, as the Democratic Party cheated some Kurdestani people. Lest you might let strangers deceive our youth in a different way thus inviting aliens to enter suppress them whereby ordinary people get into trouble. The problem is that those who kick up a row run away when we take a measure to stifle the row, and the miserable youngsters are trapped and get into trouble. You must consciously invite people to unite and be brotherly toward each other. This should be done without any mistake so that people cannot claim that the troops have come to massacre the people of Kurdestan, while the troops had gone there to save the Kurds who welcome them. Now, most people want us to set up army and gendarmerie bases there. A similar incident may happen in Sistan inculcating the idea that the troops have come to put Sistan on fire, for instance. Is Sistan not part of our Islamic country? Is there any difference between Qum and Sistan and Balouchestan? There is no difference between them. Take care lest these demons should play a trick to create anxiety and disorder there with the same story happening there, as was the case in Kurdestan.

In fact, the government has the power to crush the mischief-makers everywhere, but we do not want this to happen. It is not a case of show of force. We want to call people to truth and Islam and to make an Islamic country. This backwardness is traceable to the reign of taghouti. Sistan and Balouchestan may be much better than other areas where people come from and complain about the lack of facilities. They wanted to keep the nation in poverty and take out its resources. God willing, if an Islamic government, the one wished by God and His Prophet, is formed, all problems would hopefully and all people would live together peacefully in this and in the next world.

May God protect and help you all! And I thank you again and thank Mr. Kaf`ami. Hopefully, you can benefit from him there. Good luck.
