RNA – A conference on the decline of the United States was organized by the Arba’in ‎‎Committee of the Province of Qom on November 5th at the Qom Mosalla (Prayer Hall).‎

In his remarks at the conference, Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI) in ‎the United States, stated, “It’s a great honour for me to be in this holy city of Qom after 22 ‎years.”‎

The human rights activist in the United States added, “The last time I traveled to Iran was ‎when I lectured at one of the universities and the students welcomed my remarks and I’m ‎proud to be in Iran during this sensitive time in the country.”‎

Referring to the new sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States on November 5th, he ‎said “The sanctions are bitter for the Iranian people but you are supported by the power ‎and strength of your faith. Therefore, don’t be afraid of these hardships and bitterness and ‎know that God is always with you.”‎

Mr. Farrakhan stressed, “The United States has delivered the ultimate hostility by ‎implementing the most severe sanctions against Iran, which are being pursued with the ‎intent of defeating the spirit of the Islamic Revolution, namely, Islam but as long as you the ‎people, as the followers and the children of Imam Khomeyni, are present on the battlefield, ‎the United States is not able to defeat your revolution.”‎

He criticized the anti-Iranian and anti-Islamic policies of the United States, saying, “The ‎United States and [its president, Donald Trump] sold $110 billion worth of weapons to Saudi ‎Arabia which uses these bullets against the chests of Muslims around the world‏.‏‎”

The human rights activist continued, “The United States called on Muhammad ibn Salman ‎‎[the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia] to gather all the Sunni elders in Riyadh to deliver the ‎particular message he wanted to bring them. If you listened to ibn Salman, the core of his ‎message was to incite the Sunnis against the Shi’ahs, especially the Shi’ahs of the Islamic ‎Republic of Iran‏.‏‎”‎

In another part of his remarks, Mr. Farrakhan referred the great march of Arba’in as the path ‎of the participation of Muslim in understanding the greatness and goals of Imam al-Husayn ‎and said, “The enemies of Islam at that time trampled the body of Imam al-Husayn with the ‎hooves of their horses and separated him from his companion in order to conceal his ‎memory and message in the plains of Karbala but this martyrdom led to the formation of a ‎new school of thought of jihad and martyrdom.”‎

His Eminence also stated, “I represent a group of Africans who were brought to the United States by ‎a group of tyrannical Whites. Our ancestors were Muslims but the United States enslaved us in order ‎to take our identity. We are second-rate citizens in the United States but they couldn’t take the light ‎of faith from us. That is why the exclamation of ‘Allahu Akbar’ [‘God is the greatest’] and adhan [the ‎call to prayer] are heard all over the United States.”‎
