The anniversary of the historic verdict of Imam Khomeini on Salman Rushdie

If a non-Muslim knows about his hideout and has the power to kill him faster than the Muslims, it is obliged for Muslims to give him whatever he wants as a prize or wages of his act.

Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister:

Imam Khomeini was the great harbinger of Islamic Unity

Imam Khomeini stressed on pure Islam from the beginning and so a unity was made among the Islamic system so we without relying on the West or the East the Islamic system could be established. Imam Khomeini instead of paying attention to the differences, payed attention to fate, piety and Jihad.

Hojatoleslam Taskhiri:

Before Imam, Islamic unity was mostly a theoretical discussion

At the time which the Islamic world was looking for unity among its children, they didn’t have the necessary instruments, but Imam Khomeini by founding the great government of the Islamic republic, paved the path for other Muslims.”

Mohammad Javad Larijani:

''The letter was to design the relations after the Soviet collapse.''

After we returned from Moscow, early in the morning we went to visit Imam Khomeini; he told us: "Was Marxism over or not?" and I replied: "It was completely over", ***I always pity that Imam's letter was never analyzed well so that its thoughtful and deep sources could be revealed and we could find its meanings.***Shevardnadze told me he was shelterless against Imam's looks.***Imam's message had a great affect, the letters literature was quite interesting for them, they were faced with a leader like Imam Khomeini who spoke strongly, opposite to countries who spoke with strain against the Kremlin officials or always argue with them.
