The US-led plots must be met with “vigilance” and “resistance, ” said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a fierce attack on America policies and attitudes.
“Western civilization has started to show its paradoxical nature and it is the turn of Islam to re-emerge, ” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
He made the remarks in his meeting with scholars, thinkers and political figures attending the 29th International Islamic Unity Conference as well as the Islamic countries ambassadors in Tehran.
“Today, enemies pursue civil wars between Muslims and unfortunately, to some extent, they have been successful in realization of this goal and have ruined the Islamic countries including Syria, Yemen and Libya, ” He said.
‘I am disappointed with the Islamic World politicians, but I am hopeful about those Muslim religious scholars and intellectuals for whom the West has not become a Mecca, ” he noted.
News Agency Fars Reported: “The Supreme Leader noted that the statements of the current US officials who claim to be in agreement with Islam are untrue and show their hypocrisy.” Despite their statements to the contrary, it quoted Khamenei saying, they are bent on “fomenting differences among Muslims.”
One example, of this, he said, was their “creating terrorist groups like Daesh (the Arabic name for Islamic State) and other groups that have been created through the funding of the US affiliates and their political aids; they (the American officials) have caused the recent tragedies in the Muslim world.”
Americans make no distinction between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, he said. “They are against any Muslim who wants to live in accordance with Islamic rules and makes efforts to that end.”
Despite America’s efforts, “the Islamic awakening cannot be destroyed and it will achieve its goals God willingly, ” Khamenei pledged, according to Fars.
