RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Mahmoud Rajabi, a member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom, referred to the damages done by the Westernized elite in Iran by launching a game of compromise with the enemies and said, “The logic of our wisdom and our experience is that negotiations with the United States and the enemies not only don’t solve the problems of the country but rather they add to the country’s problems.”
The teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom added, “Human reason says that the intellectual foundations of the United States are based against Islamic thought. In the past, both before and after the Islamic Revolution, the various presidents of the United States have shown that their intellectual foundations are against the intellectual foundations of Islam and the Islamic Revolution.”
Ayatollah Rajabi emphasized that based on religious teachings, Islamic culture cannot be combined with Western culture and stated, “The basis of Western culture is atheism and secularism but in Islamic culture we believe in God and the role of religion.”
The deputy director of the Imam Khomeyni Education and Research Institute noted, “The West is the enemy of Islamic culture, and if it can gather the means, reason says that the problems of followers of Islamic culture cannot be solved with Western culture because it will add to the problems of the Islamic society.”
He said that the experiences before and after the Islamic Revolution demonstrated that Western secular culture was always trying to harm the Revolution and Islam and added, “The West was only thinking about its own interests and wanting to plunder the country’s wealth, Therefore, negotiating with the enemies means surrender and slavery.”
Ayatollah Rajabi said, “It seems that some have suffered from political Alzheimer’s and have forgotten past experiences of what the United States has done with Iran and the Revolution. They don’t use their own reason and don’t accept apply the logic and religious teachings.”
