RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Seyyed Hashem Hoseyni-Bushehri responded to the question, “Some of the compassionate and eminent people of the Islamic Seminaries believe that the Seminaries have failed to defend their achievements and introduce their services to society. As the secretary of the Supreme Council of the Seminaries do you accept this claim?” said, “I accept that the Islamic Seminaries haven’t been well introduced.”
In regard to the introduction of the activities of the Islamic Seminaries after the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence replied, “During this time, much work has been done in the Islamic Seminaries. Flawless and perfect work is the work of God and we were obliged to do this, either at the time when I was responsible or at the time when I wasn’t responsible.”
Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri stated, “Our work is definitely flawed and not perfect and there is no point in discussing this, but we did a good job in terms of what was possible and necessary and what was required given the circumstances. One of the important issues is that the Islamic Seminaries stand alongside the Islamic system of government.”
While acknowledging the weakness of the Islamic Seminaries in informing and explaining its activities and achievements, the Friday prayer leader of Qom emphasized, “The current conditions of the Islamic Seminaries aren’t comparable to those of the pre-revolutionary era.”
