In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Islamic Association of Students in America and Canada
Dear brothers and sisters, your message of total commitment to Islam and human values was received. I know about your activities and appreciate it.
Committed youths throughout the history and particularly Muslim students of the present generation and future generations are the hope of Islam and Islamic countries. With their commitment, weapons, perseverance and resistance, they can serve as the rescue ship for Islamic nations and their own countries. The independence, freedom and progress of nations depend on their efforts. They are the main target of the colonists and imperialists of the world. Each power pole is intent on entrapping them, because by hunting them, they can drag nations and countries into destruction and poverty.
And now, O dear youths, students, scientists and the present and future hope of the Muslim nation the big trust of independence and freedom obtained by the great Iranian nation from the two power poles of the East and West through their sacrifice and struggle is entrusted to you. You have a big responsibility. All the nations, especially Muslim students, who are the future leaders, are responsible for safeguarding this great divine trust.
The opponents of the Islamic republic and your and our opponents both inside and outside and the two superpowers have stretched their traps for the youths. The great enemies of Islam with their preys and the agents of their schools of thought have launched an all-out propaganda attack against you and against your country here and abroad. We who are here inside and you who are abroad must do our best to free the deceived youths from the trap of these hunters. These uninformed young people who are not aware of having fallen prey to the widespread trap of political players, have totally surrendered to them and wholeheartedly accepted their lies and accusations against the authorities of the Islamic Republic, the revolutionary guards and Muslim devotees in the way of Islam and country. They devote themselves to the chief frauds who destroy them in order to achieve their own inhuman purposes. And unwittingly, these young adults offer the blood of the valiant nation to these godless criminal America.
You, dear alert youths, come together with friends inside the country and guide these uninformed youngsters and release them from the trap of the hunters. One of the religious duties of our nation and yours is to uncover the American and Zionist's propaganda aimed at blemishing the image of the Islamic Republic and isolating our country by spreading lies, libels and rumors. Work to neutralize these sinister attempts. Help our nation as much as you can, a nation whose only fault is their commitment to Islam, independence and freedom. We should be sure that the great nation of Iran has found its way that is the straight path of humanity, is consciously prepared in different arenas and will not let the unbelievers to return to the country. We must fight tooth and nail to defend our dear Islam and country. Hopefully and with the help of God we will defeat the warmongers, isolate the corrupt criminals, will overcome all problems with effort, will be victorious on all fronts, and thanks to self-confidence and reliance on God we will not fear any power.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran which is supported by God, is spreading all over the world. God willing, with its spread, the satanic powers will be forced to withdraw and the government of the poor will be set up. Thus, the ground will be laid for the universal government of Mahdi at the end of time (may God hasten his honorable reappearance and may our souls be sacrificed for him).
Oppressed people of the world, it is high time you rebelled against the arrogant vampires and take your right from them for God is on your side and His promise is sure to be fulfilled. I pray to the exalted God to grant victory to Islam.
Peace be upon the martyrs of the path of Islam and upon all the Muslims of the world and salutations to the dear fighters of the land of Iran and peace be upon you, the young Islamic Association Students in America, Canada and all over the world. Carry out your human-Islamic duties in the heart of satanic and tyrannical states and do not fear their power. Death and damnation to the superpowers of the East and West, especially the criminal America.
