An Iranian man who says he was kidnapped and interrogated for 14 months in the US over Iran's nuclear programme, has returned to his home country where he was reunited with his family.
Shahram Amiri says he was abducted by US and Saudi agents at gunpoint while on a pilgrimage to the Saudi city of Mecca last year and flown to the US, where he claims he was physically and psychologically tortured under questioning.
The US government has denied all the allegations, saying Amiri was not held against his own will in the US.
Speaking to Al Jazeera in Doha on Wednesday en route to Tehran, Amiri said: "For 14 months I was put under a number of pressures in the US. And in reality the freedom to communicate with my family and to express myself in an ordinary fashion was not granted.
"Behind the scenes this was very politically motivated."

Lebanese Mariam to set sail to Gaza
A Lebanese aid ship will kick off its journey to the Gaza Strip on Sunday to deliver humanitarian relief to the besieged people of Gaza.
The ship Mariam is scheduled to leave Lebanon's northern port of Tripoli for Cyprus on Sunday, an organizer said Thursday.
Since Lebanon is still technically at war with Israel, the ship cannot travel directly to Gaza, it should pass through a third country -- in this case, Cyprus.
The Mariam would be carrying around 60 Lebanese, US and European women, as well as cancer drugs, organizer Yaser Qashlaq told Reuters.
A second ship, the Naji al-Ali, would also sail a couple of days later, he added.
Israel, which has imposed a blockade on Gaza since June 2007, has threatened to stop the vessels from reaching the coastal enclave.
The mission comes after the Israeli military attacked the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in international waters on May 31.
The assault left nine Turkish activists on board the Turkish-flagged M.V. Mavi Marmara dead and about 50 other people, who were part of the team on the six-ship convoy, injured.
Israel also arrested and later released nearly 700 activists from 42 countries who were on board the ships, which were attempting to break the siege of Gaza in order to deliver 10,000 tons of humanitarian assistance to the long-suffering people of the territory.

French lawmakers approve burqa ban
French lawmakers have ratified a legislation to prohibit women from wearing face-covering veils despite right activist saying such a law violates personal and religious freedoms.
The Senate voted 246 to 1 in favor of the bill, which has already cleared the lower chamber, the National Assembly, reported AFP.
The law will come into effect if the Constitutional Council does not question its legality.
Muslims argue that the legislation is going to discriminates against France's Muslim population, which is already facing rising level of Islamophobia.
Once in place, the law will allow authorities to arrest and fine those women who defy the ban.
A woman who continues wearing veils will receive a fine of EUR 150 (USD 195) or a course of citizenship lessons. A man who forces a woman to go veiled will be fined EUR 30,000 and imprisonment.
France is home to the largest Muslim population among the 27 European Union member states. Nearly 10 percent of the 62 million people living in French is Muslim.
In June, members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) unanimously voted against any general ban against burqa or niqab in Europe, saying Muslim women should be free to choose their clothing.

Imam Khamenei (H.A) on Quran Desecration - [FULL ENGLISH MSG]
Leader\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s message on Quran desecration
The message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the Muslim Ummah...
Leader\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s message on Quran desecration
The message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the Muslim Ummah following the abominable act of desecrating the Holy Quran in America:
In the Name of God, the All-Compassionate, the All-Merciful
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"It is we who sent down the Koran, and we watch over it,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" says God the Mighty, the Wise [Holy Quran, 15:9]
Great Iranian nation, great Islamic Ummah!
The insane, revolting insult to the Holy Quran in America, an incident occurring under the security provided by the US police, is a major tragic event that cannot be considered merely as the foolish act of a few worthless mercenaries. This is a calculated act by those who since years ago have put Islamophobic and anti-Muslim policies on their agenda and have tried to combat Islam and the Quran in numerous ways by resorting to myriad propaganda means and campaigns. This is another link in a chain of shameless measures launched with the blasphemy of Salman Rushdi, the apostate, followed by the insult of the base Danish caricaturist, tens of anti-Islamic movies produced in Hollywood and now crowned by this disgusting show. Who and what is behind such evil acts?
Looking into this trend of evil, as manifested in recent years in atrocious operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Pakistan, leaves no doubt that it is designed and masterminded by heads of world imperialism and Zionist think tanks which have the highest degree of influence in the government, the military and security agencies of the United States as well as Britain and some other European countries. These are the ones at whom the finger of suspicion of independent truth-finding groups and individuals is pointed in the case of the attack on the Twin Towers on September the 11th. The then-president of the US, a criminal, was provided with the pretext to invade Iraq and Afghanistan; he declared a Crusade and, reportedly, said yesterday that with the Church entering the stage the Crusade has truly begun.

رہبر معظم کا امریکہ میں قرآن مجید کی بے حرمتی کی مذمت میں اہم پیغام
رہبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی حضرت آیت اللہ العظمی خامنہ ای نے امریکہ میں قرآن مجید کی توہین اور بے حرمتی کے نفرت انگيز عمل کے بعد ایرانی عوام اورعظیم امت اسلامی کے نام اپنے ایک اہم پیغام میں اس نفرت انگیز سازش کا اصلی محرک امریکی حکومت کے اندر موجود صہیونیوں کو قراردیا اور اسلام و قرآن کے بارے میں صہیونیوں کی عداوت اور سازشوں کے پس پردہ اہداف کی تشریح کرتے ہوئے فرمایا: امریکی حکومت کو چاہیے کہ وہ اس سنگين جرم میں اپنی عدم مداخلت کے دعوی کو پایہ ثبوت تک پہنچانے کے لئے اس عظیم جرم میں ملوث اصلی عناصر اور سازش کاروں کو اچھی طرح کیفر کردار تک پہنچائے ۔
ولی امر مسلمین کے پیغام کا متن حسب ذيل ہے:
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
قال الله العزیز الحکیم: انا نحن نزلنا الذکر و انا له لحافظون
ملت عزیز ایران – امت بزرگ اسلام
امریکہ میں قرآن کریم کی بے حرمتی اور توہین کا جنون آمیز اور نفرت انگيز واقعہ درحقیقت ایک بھیانک ، تلخ اور سنگين واقعہ ہے اور اس کو صرف چند احمق شرپسنداور دیوانے افراد کی سعی و کوشش قرار نہیں دیا جاسکتا بلکہ یہ کام بعض ان مراکز کی جانب سے ایک سوچی سمجھی سازش اور منظم و مرتب منصوبے کے تحت انجام پذير ہوا ہے جو کئی برسوں سے دنیا کو اسلام سے ڈرانے اور اسلام کا مقابلہ کرنے کی جد وجہد میں مصروف ہیں اورسینکڑوں طریقوں اور ہزاروں تبلیغاتی اورنشریاتی وسائل کے ذریعہ اسلام کا مقابلہ کرنے کے لئے کمر بستہ ہیں ان کے فاسد اور مجرم حلقوں کا یہ ایک نیا سلسلہ ہے جس کا آغاز سلمان رشدی ملعون سے ہوا اور ڈنمارک کے کارٹونسٹ کی توہین آمیز حرکت اور ہالی وڈ میں اسلام کے خلاف بنائی گئی دسیوں فلموں کے ساتھ یہ سلسلہ جاری رہا ، جو اب اس نفرت انگیزعمل کی شکل میں ظاہر ہوا ہے ان شرپسند حرکات کے پس پردہ کون لوگ اور کون شرپسندعناصرہیں ؟
حالیہ برسوں میں ان شرارتوں کا سلسلہ افغانستان، عراق، فلسطین ، لبنان اور پاکستان میں جاری رہا ہے جس کے بعد کسی بھی قسم کےشک و شبہ کی کوئی گنجائش باقی نہیں رہتی کہ اس سازش کا اصلی نقشہ اور حقیقی منصوبہ صہیونی افکار اور تسلط پسند نظام کے رہنماؤں کے ہاتھ میں ہے جنکا امریکی حکومت، امریکی سکیورٹی اور فوجی اداروں نیز برطانوی حکومت اور بعض دیگر یورپی حکومتوں پر اچھا خاصا تسلط ہے اور یہ وہی لوگ ہیں جو 11 ستمبر کے واقعہ میں ملوث ہیں اور مستقل تحقیقات کی روشنی میں 11 ستمبر کی کارروائیوں کا الزام انہی عناصر کے دوش پر عائد ہوتا ہے جنھوں نے امریکہ کے اس دور کے جرائم پیشہ صدر کو افغانستان اور عراق پر حملہ کرنے کا بہانہ فراہم کیا اور اس نے صلیبی جنگ کا اعلان کیا اور اطلاعات اور رپورٹوں کے مطابق اسی شخص نے کل اعلان کیا ہے کہ چرچ کے وارد ہونے سے اس صلیبی جنگ کا میدان کامل ہوگیا ہے۔
حالیہ نفرت انگیز اقدام کا مقصد یہ ہے کہ ایک طرف عیسائی برادری کو ہر لحاظ سےاسلام اور مسلمانوں کا مقابلہ کرنے کے لئے میدان میں وارد کیا جائے اور پادریوں اور چرچ کی مداخلت سے اس کو مذہبی رنگ دیا جائےتا کہ مذہبی تعصبات و تعلقات کا اس پر گہرا اثر پڑے اور دوسری طرف امت اسلام کے دل کو مجروح کرکے اس کی توجہ کو مشرق وسطی اورعالم اسلام کے مسائل سے غافل کردیا جائے۔
عداوت اور دشمنی پر مبنی یہ اقدام کوئي نیا اقدام نہیں ہےبلکہ یہ عمل امریکی حکومت اور صہیونزم کی سرکردگی میں اسلام کے ساتھ مقابلہ کرنے کے طویل المدت منصوبہ کا حصہ ہے۔ سامراجی و استکباری رہنما اور آئمہ کفر اس لئے اسلام کے مقابلے میں آگئے ہیں، کیونکہ اسلام انسان کی آزادی اور معنویت کا دین ہے ، اور قرآن رحمت و حکمت اور عدل و انصاف پر مبنی کتاب ہے، تمام ادیان ابراہیمی اور تمام حریت پسندوں کی ذمہ داری ہے کہ وہ مسلمانوں کے ساتھ ملکر اسلام کا مقابلہ کرنے کی صہیونیوں کی نفرت انگيز حرکتوں اور سازشوں کو ناکام بنائیں ، امریکی حکام فریبکارانہ اور خالی باتیں بنا کر اپنے آپ کو اس سنگین جرم کی ہمراہی کرنے سے بری الذمہ قرار نہیں دے سکتے ہیں۔ کئی برسوں سے افغانستان، پاکستان ، عراق، لبنان اور فلسطین میں کئی ملین مسلمانوں کی عزت و حرمت، حقوق اور ان کے مقدسات کو پامال کیا جارہا ہے،لاکھوں افراد ہلاک، کئی ہزار مرد و عورتیں قید وبند کی صعوبتوں میں مبتلا،ہزاروں بچے اور عورتیں اغوا،کئی ملین زخمی اور معذور اور آوارہ وطن لوگوں کوکس جرم کی سزامیں قربانی اور ذبح کیا گيا ہے ؟ مسلمانوں کی اس مظلومانہ حالت کے باوجود، مغربی میڈيا میں کیوں مسلمانوں کو تشدد پسند اور اسلام اور قرآن کو بشریت کے لئے سب سے بڑا خطرہ ظاہر کرنے کی کوشش کی جاتی ہے؟ ہر انسان جانتا ہے کہ امریکی حکومت کے اندر موجود صہیونیوں کی مدد ، تعاون اور مداخلت کے بغیر اتنی بڑی اور وسیع سازش کو عملی جامہ پہنانا ممکن نہیں ہے؟!
ایران اور پوری دنیا میں میرے عزیز بھائیو اور بہنو!
میں مندرجہ ذیل چند نکات کی طرف سب کی توجہ مبذول کرنا ضروری سمجھتا ہوں:
اول: اس حادثے اور اس سے پہلے رونما ہونےوالے حوادث سے صاف ظاہر ہوتا ہے کہ آج سامراجی نظام کے حملے کا اصلی نشانہ، اسلام عزیز اور قرآن مجید ہے۔ اسلامی جمہوریہ ایران کے ساتھ سامراجی طاقتوں کی آشکارا دشمنی کا اصلی سبب بھی یہی ہے اور سامراجی طاقتوں کے ساتھ اسلامی جمہوریہ ایران کا آشکار مقابلہ بی اسی وجہ سے ہے اور دشمن کی طرف سے اسلام اور مسلمانوں کے ساتھ دشمنی نہ کرنے کا اظہار محض ایک شیطانی فریب اور بہت بڑا جھوٹ ہے وہ اسلام اور ہر اس فرد کے دشمن ہیں جو اسلام کا پابند ہے اور جس میں مسلمان ہونے کی کوئی علامت پائی جاتی ہو۔
دوم : اسلام اور مسلمانوں کے ساتھ عداوتوں کی ایک وجہ یہ بھی ہے کہ گذشتہ چند برسوں سے لیکر اب تک نوراسلام ہمیشہ کی نسبت درخشاں تر ہوگیا ہے اور عالم اسلام بلکہ مغربی ممالک میں لوگوں کے دلوں میں اسلام کا جذبہ پیدا ہورہا ہے اورلوگوں کے دلوں میں اسلام نے اپنا نفوذ اور راستہ بنالیا ہے اس کی اصلی وجہ یہ ہے کہ امت اسلامی ہمیشہ کی نسبت بیدار ہوچکی ہے مسلمان قوموں نے اب سامراجی اور تسلط پسند طاقتوں کی دو صدیوں سے پڑی ہوئی زنجیروں کو توڑنے کا فیصلہ کرلیا ہے۔ قرآن مجید اور پیغمبر اسلام صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہ وسلم کی توہین ناقابل برداشت اور ناقابل تحمل اور بہت ہی تلخ عمل ہے لیکن یہ عمل اپنے دل میں ایک عظیم بشارت کا بھی حامل ہے کہ قرآن مجید کا درخشاں آفتاب روبروز درخشاں تر اور بلند تر ہوتا جائے گا۔
سوم : ہم سب کو جان لینا چاہیے کہ حالیہ حادثے کا تعلق چرچ اور عیسائی برادری نہیں ہے اور کچھ صہیونی مزدور پادریوں کی نازیبا حرکات کا الزام عیسائیوں اور ان کے مذہبی رہنماؤں کے دوش پر عائد نہیں کرنا چاہیے۔ ہم مسلمان اس قسم کے نازیبا عمل کو دوسرے ادیان کے مقدسات کے لئے ہر گزروا نہیں رکھیں گے اس سازش اور منصوبہ کا اصلی مقصد مسلمانوں اور عیسائیوں کے درمیان نفرت اور عداوت کی دیوار قائم کرنا ہے جبکہ ہمیں قرآن مجید نے جو درس دیا ہے وہ ااس نقطہ کے بالکل مد مقابل ہے۔
چہارم: آج تمام مسلمانوں کا امریکی حکومت اور امریکی سیاستدانوں سے مطالبہ ہے کہ اگر وہ اس معاملے میں اپنی عدم مداخلت کے دعوے میں سچے ہیں تو انھیں چاہیے کہ وہ ڈیڑھ ارب مسلمانوں کے دلوں کو مجروح کرنے والے اور اس جرم کا ارتکاب کرنے والے اصلی کھلاڑیوں اور اصلی مجرم عناصر کو پکڑ کر انھیں قرار واقعی سزا دیں۔

Ahmadinejad"s full speech at UN General Assembly Sept. 2010 (with...

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the US took advantage of the 'suspicious' September 11 attacks to justify its occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq.
President Ahmadinejad said while some 3,000 were killed on the September 11 incident, "for which we are all very saddened," hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and millions wounded and displaced up to now, as the conflicts continue to rage and expand.
While raising several questions about the source and nature of the 9/11 attacks, the president asked even if we grant credence to the US government's view that "a complex terrorist group was able to cross all layers of US intelligence and security" to wage the attacks, "is it rational to launch a classic war through widespread deployment of troops that led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people to counter a terrorist group?"
The Iranian president also blasted the Israeli regime for its siege of Palestinian lands and their repeated aggressions against the people of Gaza and Lebanon with blessings from their Western backers.
"The oppressed people of Palestine have lived under the rule of an occupying regime for 60 years, been deprived of freedom, security and the right to self-determination, while the occupiers are given recognition," he said.
"On a daily basis," he added, "the houses are being destroyed over the heads of innocent women and children. People are deprived of water, food and medicine in their own homeland. The Zionists have imposed five all-out wars on the neighboring countries and on the Palestinian people."
President Ahmadinejad also highlighted the Israeli attack against the Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla and killing and injuring civilians onboard, calling it "a blatant defiance of all international norms."
The president emphasized that while the Tel Aviv regime "regularly threatens the countries in the region" and conducts "publicly announced assassination of Palestinian figures," it enjoys the "absolute support of some western countries." Whereas, he added, "Palestinian defender and those opposing this regime are pressured, labeled as terrorists and anti Semites."
The Iranian president then insisted that all solutions "are doomed to fail" if the rights of Palestinian people are not accounted for, calling for the return of the Palestinian refugees to their home land and the establishment of a Palestinian sovereignty and government based on a popular vote.
President Ahmadinejad referred to the recent burning of the holy Qur'an in the US as an "ugly and inhumane act" against the Divine Book of Islam's prophet that calls for "worshipping the one God, justice, compassion toward people, development and progress, reflection and thinking, defending the oppressed and resisting against the oppressors."
He then stressed that the Qur'an was burned "to burn all these truths and good judgments." However, he added, "the truth could not be burned."
On the Iranian nuclear issue, President Ahmadinejad reiterated Iran's readiness to resume talks based on the Tehran Nuclear Declaration, censuring the unjust imposition of anti-Iran sanctions by the UN Security Council.
Noting the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) allows member states to use nuclear energy without limits while prohibiting the development and stockpiling of nuclear weapons, the president underlined that some permanent members of the UN Security Council have nonetheless "equated nuclear energy with the nuclear bomb, and have distanced this energy from the reach of most nations by establishing monopolies and pressuring the IAEA."
Consequently, he said, "Not only the nuclear disarmament has not been realized, but also nuclear bombs have been proliferated in some regions, including by the occupying and intimidating Zionist regime."
Dr. Ahmadinejad went on to make the proposition that the year 2011 be proclaimed the year of nuclear disarmament and "Nuclear Energy for all, Nuclear Weapons for None."
On Iran's nuclear issue the Iranian president referred to the Tehran Declaration on a fuel swap deal as "a hugely constructive step in confidence building efforts" and said that it was facilitated through the good will of Turkish, Brazilian and Iranian governments.
He reiterated that although the declaration received "inappropriate reaction" by some governments and followed by an "unlawful resolution," it still remains valid.
"We have observed the regulations of the IAEA more than our commitments," he observed. "Yet, we have never submitted to illegally imposed pressures nor will we ever do so."
The president also slammed UN's "ineptitude" and "unjust structure," stressing that major power has been "monopolized" in the Security Council (UNSC) due to the veto privilege while the main pillar of the organization, the General Assembly, "is marginalized."
Noting that in the past decades at least one of the permanent members of the UNSC has been a party to conflicts, Dr. Ahmadinejad said, "The veto advantage grants impunity to aggression and occupation; how could, therefore, one expect competence while both the judge and the prosecutor are a party to the dispute?"
"Had Iran enjoyed veto privilege, would the Security Council and the IAEA Director General have taken the same position in the nuclear issue?"
The Iranian president then insisted that the veto privilege "be revoked" altogether and the General Assembly becomes the "highest body" in the United Nations.
At the beginning of his remarks, President Ahmadinejad expressed great sympathy with the people and government of flood-stricken Pakistan and urged the world to pldege adequate aid and support for the flood victims.

Hajj is a symbol of monotheism and spirituality - Leader Hajj Message...
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds and may Allah’s blessings be...
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds and may Allah’s blessings be upon our Master, Muhammad al-Mustafa and his immaculate Family and his elect Companions.
As a symbol of Islamic unity and honour and the emblem of monotheism and spirituality, the Holy Ka’bah, during the Hajj season, is host to the ardent and hopeful hearts, who come hurrying from all over the world to the birthplace of Islam in response to the call of the Glorious Lord. At this time, the Islamic Ummah can have a bird’s eye view of its own great extent and diversity, seen through the eyes of its envoys who gather here from all over the world, and be witness to the profound faith that rules over the hearts of the followers of the True Religion, and appreciate its great and peerless heritage.
This self-discovery of the Ummah enables us as Muslims to become aware of the position which is worthy of them in the world, today and tomorrow, and to keep moving towards it.
The expanding wave of Islamic awakening in the world today is a reality that heralds a bright future for the Islamic Ummah. This powerful surge started three decades ago with the victory of the Islamic Revolution and establishment of the system of the Islamic Republic. Our great Ummah has continued to march ahead non-stop, removing the obstacles from its way and conquering new fronts. The sophisticated stratagems of the global Arrogance and its costly maneuvers aimed at countering Islam are also a consequence of these victories.
The extensive propaganda of the enemy to spread Islamophobia, its offhand efforts to create discord among Muslim sects, to incite sectarian prejudices, to bring about pseudo-confrontations between the Sunnis and the Shi’ah, to create disunity between Islamic states and to aggravate their differences, to change them into hostility and unsolvable conflicts, its employment of intelligence and espionage outfits to propagate corruption and immorality amongst the youth—all these are nervous and bewildered responses to the steady and firm advances of the Islamic Ummah towards awakening, honour and freedom.
Today the Zionist regime is no more the undefeatable monster of 30 years ago. The United States and the West are also no more the unquestionable decision-makers of the Middle East that they were two decades ago. Contrary to the situation that existed ten years ago, the nuclear know-how and other complex technologies are no longer considered inaccessible daydreams for Muslim nations of the region. Today the Palestinian nation is an acknowledged paragon of resistance, the Lebanese nation has single-handedly demolished the fake awesomeness of the Zionist regime and emerged as the victor of the 33-day war, and the Iranian nation is at the vanguard of the movement towards the looming peaks.
Today the arrogant United States, the self-styled commandant of the Islamic region and the real sponsor of the Zionist regime, is bogged down in the quagmire of its own making in Afghanistan. As a result of all its crimes against the people of Iraq, it is in the course of becoming isolated in that country. It is hated more than ever before in disaster-stricken Pakistan. Today, the influence of the anti-Islamic front which since the past two centuries has acted as a despotic overlord over Islamic nations and states and plundered their resources, is receding before the heroic resistance of the Muslim nations.
On the opposite side, the wave of Islamic awakening is steadily advancing and growing in depth day by day.
On the one hand, this hopeful and promising situation should inspire us, the Muslim nations, to keep marching ahead towards the desirable future with ever greater confidence. On the other hand, the past lessons and experience should make us more vigilant than ever before. This general imperative undoubtedly calls for greater commitment from religious scholars, political leaders, intellectuals and youth than the others and requires them to be at the vanguard of the struggle.
The clear and living message of the Noble Qur’an is addressed to us:
You are the best nation ever brought forth for mankind: you bid what is right and forbid what is wrong, and have faith in Allah. (3:110)
In this majestic address the Islamic Ummah is declared as one which has been brought forth for the sake of humanity. The aim of its birth is the good of mankind and its deliverance.
Its major duty is to urge what is good and to forbid evil while maintaining unshakeable faith in God. There is no ‘right thing’ (ma’ruf) more significant than rescuing nations from the satanic claws of the global Arrogance, and there is no ‘wrong thing’ (munkar) uglier than dependence on the Arrogant and servitude to them.
Today the major duties of the elite of the Islamic Ummah is to provide help to the Palestinian nation and the besieged people of Gaza, to sympathize and provide assistance to the nations of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Kashmir, to engage in struggle and resistance against the aggressions of the United States and the Zionist regime, to safeguard the solidarity of Muslims and stop tainted hands and mercenary voices that try to damage this unity, to spread awakening and the sense of responsibility and commitment among Muslim youth throughout Islamic communities.
The glorious spectacle and stage of Hajj provides us with an opportunity for the fulfillment of these duties and summons us to intensify and redouble our resolution and efforts.
Peace and Allah’s mercy be upon you!

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the Iranian nation\\\\\\\'s voice is echoed in the countries of the Muslim world, pointing to the Tunisia revolution and Egypt uprising.
“Today, developments in North Africa, [including] Egypt, Tunisia and some other countries have a special meaning for the Iranian nation,” the Leader stated.
“This is what was always referred to as the Islamic awakening created by the victory of the great revolution of the Iranian nation,” Ayatollah Khamenei said in his comments during the Friday prayer sermons in Tehran.
Ayatollah Khamenei noted that Tunisia\\\\\\\'s former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was dependent on the US and even the CIA.
The Leader also pointed to the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak as a “lackey of the Zionist Regime.”
Ayatollah Khamenei said that Americans and Israelis have become helpless in the face of freedom-seeking Egyptians and noted that irreparable defeat awaits the US and Israel in Tunisia and Egypt.
The Leader made a reference to Egyptians\\\\\\\' fight for “dignity and honor” and noted that Mubarak\\\\\\\'s biggest crime was to make Egypt a tool in the hands of the US.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Egyptian army would join the masses and will line up against the enemy.
Ayatollah Khamenei also said the Islamic Revolution in Iran disrupted the plots by Western countries trying to establish weak and vulnerable regimes in the Middle East.
The Leader said Iran\\\\\\\'s enemies have been launching a psychological war against it for the past 32 years, pointing to the 2009 post-election events in Iran as the enemies\\\\\\\' latest scenario to damage the Islamic Revolution.
Ayatollah Khamenei said their plots however will have no effect on the Iranian nation.
