US Securing Zionists Interests in the Name of Christianity

31 August 2007

Tehran-Provisional Friday Prayer Leader of Tehran said in his second sermon US administration is propagating a certain version of Christianity that is not based on Jesus Christ (PBUH) teachings, but after securing Zionists' interests.

According to IRNA Political Desk reporter from Tehran University campus, Ayatollah Mohammad Kashani, addressing thousands of worshipers, added, "Based on this mentality, the Jews must gather in Palestine and then in the course of a revolution two thirds of them to get killed, and the remainder should see the reappearance of Jesus (PBUH)."

He reiterated, "Therefore, they are after gathering the entire Jews of the world in Palestine, which is definitely a move with political and Satanic roots, but the idea is put forth in the framework of an idea behind the hope for reappearance of Messiah." He said that US President George W. Bush is "the standard bearer of that mentality, adding, "That man is loathed to an extent in the United States today that the mentality he supports, too, has very limited number of supporters."

Ayatollah Emami Kashani added, "They have Satanic interactions with the Zionists, but such a mentality has extremely weakened in the Western world today.

"It is the very same mentality that is aiming at Iran and Islam today, and resorts to moves against the Messenger of Islam, the Shi'a World, and the Iranian nation, every once in a while.

Emami Kashani reiterated, "They are well aware that the governing political system in the Islamic Republic of Iran is after establishment of peace and justice in the world, and that Iran is today a divine world power."

Quoting a saying from Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) advising Christians what to do to rid themselves of the problems with which they would be entangled at the end of the world, he said, "The people in the United States and Europe are living wretched lives today.

He regretted that family foundation has no real meaning in their societies; philanthropy, faithfulness, friendly relations, love, living with one another, and caring for spiritual matters have no place in Western societies.

Addressing the Western world, he said, "Your youth would at the end of the world be leading such worrying lives that you cannot ignore it; the prophet of Islam has fourteen centuries ago warned the Christians of the coming of such days, and he has been the messenger of the good news at the end of the time for the entire mankind, as well."

Emami Kashani deplored the corruption prevailing over the Western governments and said "but the nations believe in the coming back to Earth of a savior, and according to Islam this is an all encompassing belief among entire monotheist religions."

He said, "The good news brought to mankind by the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) are for the youth in all religions, inviting them to live pious lives and to abandon committing crimes and sins with which the entire mankind are fed up."

The Friday prayer leader pointed out that the blossoming out of justice and truth in Iran has been through the blessed gate of the faith, arguing, "There is no doubt that justice would finally prevail through the channel of faith, and both God's blessings and His wrath, too, would be distributed through the same path."

"Late Imam Khomeini and our martyrs stood under the flag of faith and safeguarded it, and today, too, it is the same faith that is crystallized in the existence of our Supreme Leader."
Emami Kashani said, "Justice is fully established in the Islamic Republic of Iran today, and our Constitution, our Government, and our Guardians Council are all in line with rules of justice.

He added, "The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has from the first day of taking the helm in this country, and the martyred President Mohammad-Ali Raja'ie and martyred Prime Minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar were best models of justice seeking for everyone." "The 9th Government, too, is moving based on justice, rules of our faith, and fundamentals of Islam, adding, "Just as the Supreme Leader has stressed, coincidence of the Government Week and the blessed birth anniversary of Imam Mahdi (May God Hasten His Reappearance), is a very blessed coincidence, because the 9th Government, too, moves based on the rules and values of the Islamic Revolution."

"The more deep rooted justice would be established in our society, the greater we would receive the assistance of Almighty Allah." In his first sermon, too, he introduced the Lord of the Time, Imam Mahdi, as the "Balance point of God's beauty, and His Glory, arguing, "As followers of that infallible Imam (May God Hasten His Reappearance), we too, must observe moderate behavior all the time."
