Ayatollah Arafi described the actions of the Islamic Revolution as based on logic and rationality and said “Everyone knows that Iran is acting on the basis of rationality and wisdom but won’t surrender to any threat.” RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon to a large and fervent crowd of believers at Qom’s Qods Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Alireza Arafi stated that unfortunately the global news flow is in the hands of the oppressive media empires which are like an octopus wherein all the arteries of intelligence and analysis and information in the world’s are under their yoke and added, “Due to divine grace, the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Resistance have established the truthful flow of information and we must thank them.”
The head of the Islamic Seminaries of Iran stated, “When the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was capturing the British oil tanker [Stena Impero], two major American and British warships came to Iran and told Iranian forces to hold off, but the commander declared that it wouldn’t pay attention and continued to capture the ship with bravery. The forces of the IRGC, with all their courage, stood up against the powerful British and American navies, bravely seized the ship and forced the enemies to retreat.”
He continued, “Everyone must know that Iran is logical and acts on the basis of rationality and wisdom but won’t surrender to sanctions and threats and, by the grace of God, the strong and faithful forces will stand up to the oppression and crimes of all the powers with all of their might.”
Referring to Statement on the Second Step of the Islamic Revolution, which was issued by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei], Ayatollah Arafi stated, “The Statement on the Second Step of the Islamic Revolution, in addition to outlining seven strategies for the future of the country, contains a set of important theories for the management of the revolution.”
The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom said, “The first theory is the combination between the system and the revolution, the Supreme Leader said that there is no conflict between the revolution and the system. Neither the rule of law nor the revolution is needless of law nor does legality make us needless of the revolution and the jihadi spirit.”
He added, “Another theory outlined in this statement is that there is a third path between divergence and passive renewal that some are fond of and bigotry, consolidation and the lack of the acceptance of criticism exist in regard to the third path. The third path is to accept criticism and reconsider points of view but not at the expense of abandoning the fundamental foundations and principles of the revolution and surrendering to the false logic and foolish discourses of the world.”
Ayatollah Arafi added, “Flexibility in the intelligent revolution is active and resistant. The Supreme Leader said that the Islamic Revolution as a living phenomenon with will, it will always be flexible and ready to correct its errors but it isn’t revisable and passive. It shows positive sensitivity to criticism and it counts that as the blessings of God but it never distances itself from its values, which are blended with the religious faith of the people.”
