Diplomat: Islamic Awakening Inspired by Iran's Islamic Revolution
TEHRAN (FNA)- The revolution and movement started by the Late Imam Khomeini in Iran decades ago has spread to the entire Muslim world, a senior Iranian diplomat said, adding that the growing waves of Islamic awakening and popular uprisings in the Middle-East and North Africa today are indications of the same fact.
Islamic Republic of Iran's Permanent Representative at UNESCO Mohammad Reza Majidi made the remarks, and said that the 1979 Islamic Revolution which was the consequence of one of the waves of the Islamic awakening in present century has caused Islamic awakening in certain countries, particularly in western Asia and northern Africa throughout past three decades.
"In particular, the Islamic movements which happened over past year in the Arab World are manifestations of Islamic awakening," he added.
Majidi told the Islamic republic news agency that the subsequent collapse of the regional dictatorships paves the way for Muslim countries to have Islamic consensus based on freedom of Beit-ul-Moqaddas from the yoke of Zionists.
The Iranian official expressed hope that the victory of recent popular movements in Arab countries would pave the way for consensus of Muslim nations pursuing materialization of ideals of Muslim countries.
Since the beginning of 2011, the Muslim world has witnessed popular uprisings and revolutions similar to what happened in Iran in 1979. Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.
Bahrain and Yemen, however, have experienced the deadliest clashes, while in Bahrain the military intervention of the Saudi-led forces from the neighboring Arab states has further fueled the crisis in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
In similar remarks in April, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei had also underscored the profound and vast influence of Iran's Islamic Revolution on the growing waves of Islamic awakening in the region.
"Thanks to Islam and Islamic Revolution, a public Islamic awakening has happened in the region today, which will definitely yield its results as it has already yielded (some of) its results in certain points," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a group of Iranian people here in Tehran.
