Crimes and betrayals of the Pahlavi regime

I thank you gentlemen for your coming here to observe the things closely. Although you will not be able to see but it is not bad to have the knowledge about the tyranny our nation has undergone since fifty and odd years under the two illegal and cruel rulers. One of the two was imposed upon us by the United Kingdom. The other was imposed upon us by the allies- again one of them was the UK, America and the Soviet Union. During this period of fifty years they committed crimes against this nation that they cannot be framed into a statistic within a few days.
Some of their commitments are yet to be known. They were known to themselves alone. The crimes of their near ones are also not known. Now you are visiting Iran. You cannot see as they existed. Similarly the signs of betrayal too you cannot see in the originality. You can know only to the extent you have heard. Or some disabled ones who were present in those events may have thorough knowledge.

Discovery of East by sticking to the school of Islam

I must say that unless the East should understand that it has an entity and existence and that it is a nation and that east too is a place, it cannot recover its independence. The big powers by their propaganda throughout a long period of time have so molded the thins that the East lost itself and humbled itself before the West and their governments. East together with its school lost the entity- as though it is no thing.
The school of Islam is at the head of all the schools. It has sprung from East. But East has missed it. So unless it should understand what are its school and what itself is it cannot confront west. It should understand that it has an entity, it is a country. In whatever way they confront west, the West can foil the East at the strength of propaganda they have had. Now you should be mindful of this- to make your nation awake to the fact.
You make your nation to understand that they too have a school. They have existence. They have treasures and hoards in their lands and mines. They should know that they have taken away all the things from you. Above all this, they have created deviations among the nations. They have caused the deviation of the wary for the youths. This is a deviation in a school. They have presented the school of Islam in a deviated and diverted way. The real Islam they did not present. They presented a low and vile school. The schools they have are vile and corrupt. All their schools are a failure. Here too they promoted such a school which attracts the youths.

Regime of Pahlavi and its efforts to spoil the entity of the youths

Another point: They opened the doors of corruption for the youths. They disseminated and spread the corruption. I witnessed these things in our country. I know the same is the case in your country too. We know that occurs in the corrupted places. Our youths are attracted to these centers. They have given up their real identity. It is sad and it is true that the centers of corruption in Tehran are more than libraries.
They have deprived us of everything. They have robbed our youths of the peculiarity that is a salient characteristic of the youths. Their endeavor was too bereft the youths of their strength so as to be a ground for their further robbery of the hoards and treasures. Our youths could not be able to do anything or show any reaction or remain indifferent. In the previous regime they had done the same. They created the proliferate centers. The youths were attracted to those centers. On the other hand the propaganda was so wide and vast that all the newspapers and magazines gave wind to it. Radio and television too came to their aid. The purpose was one- to spoil the youths, to denude them of their prowess.
There is another door, wide and large, which they opened upon the face of our youths. Drugs- opium, heroine, alcoholic spirits, etc. This door embraced the youths. The youths too responded favorably. They received the needed positive answer. The youths could not question whatever havoc hailed upon them. So they took away the Why from our youths. A youth should not ponder as to who carries away his petroleum and why? Who carries away his treasures and why? There is no liberty in the country, why? Freedom is slain, why? These are the plans they design for us. For you too they draw the same designs. For your countries too they design one type of plot and similarly for other countries.
Therefore, you should try, everyone who has a regard to his country, to his nation, and to Islam should do his best to overcome these havocs brought upon our countries. The deviated minds should be set aright. Again it depends upon love and attachment. If we have any love towards Islam, towards university, towards our nation, we should train our youths rightly and mould them into a good, virtuous, and correct training. We should rescue them from getting Westernized. Everyone among us should be after this aim. The governments regrettably are under the line of this thought to be able to do or have a say in this matter. They should revise their stand. From now onwards they should abstain from doing what they had been doing so far. Again it depends upon love and attachment if they have towards Islam and nation and homeland.

Honor and domination in the lap of actions which are in line with Islam

The Eastern and the Islamic countries are vast, wide, and large and far stretched ones. Besides, they are rich countries also. The big powers, they are in need of you. The weapon which in your possession if you break it from them, they will become humble to you and also obedient. It is a matter of regret that some among our governments have the underground treasures and also obedience to them. So, a total change should take place to make the ups and downs and change them like those in the early days of Islam. A semi reformation took place in our country. People underwent the change to the extent of resemblance with the people of the early stages of Islam. The victory that we attained was due to the fact that the youths here became desirous of martyrdom like the youths of early Islam who loved martyrdom. The youths every day used to visit us asking to pray for their martyrdom. This change this unity of the word, this attention towards Islam that came into being in Iran should stand a paragon for all the nations.
If such a change happens and all turn their faces towards Islam concentrating to a point and that point to be Islam, in view of this prodigious population and these weapons, these equipments this petroleum and other resources- you should be the lords and masters and you should be obeyed, not you should obey. But regrettably they do not let this happen.
Change is necessary. All should try to avail this change. A nation careful, vigilant, attentive, and advertent- your nation should turn to. The time is out to be under the care of other countries or in the shadow of another power or to be the tail of big powers. Now nations are rising from their slumber. Our nation has awakened. But the persons affiliated and attached to the previous ones are still on the way. They are sitting handicapped that we could not continue our appraisal. This vague thought they are after. Our campaign is victorious.
I hope that God may cause all the Muslims to wake from their somnolence. All Muslims may get united into a brotherhood abstaining from differences. Governments and nations all should avoid differences. May God solve the troubles so as to be all the Muslims one hand. God is with those who are united.
May God's peace, mercy and blessing be upon you.
