RNA – Speaking at the fifth conference of the Assembly of Coordination of the Followers of ‎the Imam and the Supreme Leader of Qom Province on the topic of “Explaining the ‎Statement on the Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution” at Tolo Mehr University in Qom, ‎Hujjat al-Islam Dr. Mohsen Mohajerinia, a political scientist and researcher, explained ‎Ayatollah Khamenei’s Statement on the Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution and said this ‎document is considered as ideology, thought, political theory, resistance strategy and ‎governmental jurisprudence.‎

His Eminence added, “The statement as a political discourse is a very important subject, the ‎centre of which is the principle of ‘the theory of the revolutionary system’ in the threefold ‎process – the pre-revolutionary period, the first phase in the post-revolutionary period and ‎the second phase in the run-up to the revolution – and the path of this process focuses on ‎the civilizational discourse of the Islamic Revolution.”‎
‏ ‏
Explaining the concept of discourse, Hujjat al-Islam Mohajerinia said, “A discourse is a ‎collection of thoughts, opinions, actions and behaviours which together, create an identity, a ‎lifestyle and a model of the system of knowledge. The Statement on the Second Phase of ‎the Islamic Revolution can be assessed within this framework and it’s considered as a single ‎discourse. In the statement, the Islamic Revolution has been explained with all its principles, ‎foundations, goals, structure and functions as a single discourse.”‎
‏ ‏
The seminary and university teacher‎ argued that discourses are never exclusive, said, “When ‎we discuss the Islamic Revolution, the opposing discourse comes to mind as well. When a ‎discourse is created, an opposing discourse also accompanies it. The discourse which arose ‎against the Islamic Revolution was the discourse of liberalism and socialism.”‎

He said, “No other revolution in the world could provide a revolutionary system-like theory ‎and sustain itself for forty years. No other revolution could remain on the basis of its eternal ‎slogans and after forty years, they can’t claim that the slogans of their revolution are eternal ‎because those revolutions aren’t rooted in eternal human and divine nature.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam Mohajerinia ‎added, “Today, in political science, not only don’t they consider ‎the Islamic Revolution as sacred but also a kind of illness and instability in society but our ‎revolution, with its slogans and its anti-imperialist and anti-colonial goals and functions, is ‎sacred because it has its roots in eternal humanity and divine nature.”‎
