In Islam, the legislative power and competence to establish laws belong exclusively to God Almighty.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
One should express his viewpoint regarding what he performed in his country and in a vast part of the world with great respect and deep thought.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
One thing I congratulate everyone on is the great explosion which has occurred in Washington's Black House and the very important scandal which has gripped leaders of America.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
We are not afraid of economic sanctions or military intervention. What we are afraid of is Western universities.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
In the Islamic Republic the rights of the religious minorities are respectfully regarded.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
In Islam, democracy is included and people are free in Islam, both in expressing their opinions and their actions, until there is no conspiracy and they don't bring up ideas which would deviate Iranian generation.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
Islam is politics or it is nothing.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
The Imam throughout his life called America 'the Great Satan'. He believed that all the Muslims' problems were caused by America.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
In the world there is no democracy better than our democracy. Such a thing has never before been seen.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
Before the revolution I thought there are appropriate individuals who would do the job according to Islam, therefore I repeatedly said that clerics would go after their own job. Then I saw that most of them were inappropriate individuals and I found out that what I said was not true, so I came and clearly announced that I was wrong.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
Happy are those who have departed through martyrdom. Unhappy am I that I still survive... Taking this decision is more deadly than drinking from a poisoned chalice. I submitted myself to Allah's will and took this drink for His satisfaction.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
What country is stabler than Iran? Where else in the world would an assassinated prime minister be so quickly replaced?
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
Since Khomeini's death, the popular appeal of an Islamic state - and of fundamentalism - has surely dimmed. Thinkers still debate and warriors kill, but no country seems prepared to emulate Iran. Perhaps revolutions happen only under majestic leaders, and no one like Khomeini has since appeared.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, an ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed and as quickly as possible and burned.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
The people will not rest until the Pahlavi rule has been swept away and all traces of tyranny have disappeared. As long as the Shah's satanic power prevails, not a single true representative of the people can possibly be elected.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
You young people yourselves are capable of performing anything. Our inventors can invent in a high level. Our innovators can innovate in a high level, only if they keep self confidence and believe that we can.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
The Islamic Revolution of Iran is honourable for it is the cry which has its origin in Ayatollah Khomeini's conscience.

Americans are the great Satan, the wounded snake.
