RNA – Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people on the University of Tehran campus on Friday, Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani said, “Daesh and Takfiri terrorists have been created through the money and plots of the Zionists and by American power in the region.”

The Iranian cleric pointed to the two letters written by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, to the youth of Europe and North America, and said, “Mentioning the issue of Takfirism and the groups that have been formed to discredit Islam in Supreme Leader’s letter was of paramount importance.”

Iran’s Supreme Leader sent a highly important message to the youth of Europe and North America in January 2015 to stress the Islam that the West is trying to portray is a forged concept and not the reality, demanding the younger generation in the West to do research to get firsthand information before accepting their states’ propaganda.

“I don’t insist that you accept my reading or any other reading of Islam...” the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution said in a part of his message, and added, “Don’t allow this dynamic and effective reality in today’s world to be introduced to you through resentments and prejudices. Don’t allow them to hypocritically introduce their own recruited terrorists as representatives of Islam.”

“... In reaction to the flood of prejudgments and disinformation campaigns, try to gain a direct and firsthand knowledge of this religion. The right logic requires that you understand the nature and essence of what they are frightening you about and want you to keep away from,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

The Leader stressed, “Receive knowledge of Islam from its primary and original sources. Gain information about Islam through the Quran and the life of its great Prophet. I would like to ask you whether you have directly read the Quran of the Muslims. Have you studied the teachings of the Prophet of Islam and his humane, ethical doctrines? Have you ever received the message of Islam from any sources other than the media?”
