Interviewee: Mohammad Al-goun
From Netherland
An intellectual from Netherland says Imam Khomeini had a declared objective and he had moved forward gently to accomplish the certain goal.
Question: What kind of means and sources did Imam Khomeini use to further Islamic Revolution?
Mohammad Al-goun: For an instance, during the struggle for the Islamic Revolution, at a certain stage when Imam wanted all ranks of military to become united with the nation, he presented them with flowers instead of bullets.
Imam never adopted any violent ways during the historic struggle because he knew that the people could be convinced with love and devotion. So informed the people with the affection about their interests and proved that he wanted to establish an excellent governmental system for them. This quality and characteristic of imam has impressed me too much
