Chomejní citáty

Veľký ajatolláh sajjid Chomejní , vlastným menom Rúholláh Mustafaví Músaví Chomejní, perz. روح‌الله مصطفوی موسوی خمینی bol iránsky šiítsky náboženský vodca, mardža, ajatolláh a politik, od roku 1979 najvyššia duchovná a politická autorita v Iráne.

Narodil sa ako syn ajatolláha sajjida Mustafu Músavího. Študoval šiítsku náboženskú teológiu v Kome a v irackom Nadžafe – v roku 1962 sa stal jedným zo šiestich veľkých ajatolláhov iránskych šiítov. V roku 1963 Chomejní ostro odsúdil svetský režim šáha Pahlavího a jeho tzv. bielu revolúciu. Vystupoval nielen proti skorumpovanosti režimu, ale aj proti šáhovej orientácii na západ, najmä na USA. Po zorganizovaní protišáhovskej demonštrácie ho zatkli a vypovedali z Iránu.

V rokoch 1964 – 1965 žil v Turecku, potom 1965 – 1978 v Iraku a nakoniec v rokoch 1978 – 1979 vo Francúzsku, odkiaľ riadil iránsku islamskú revolúciu, ktorá v roku 1979 vyvrcholila zvrhnutím šáha Pahlavího a jeho útekom z Iránu, následne načo sa ajatolláh Chomejní dostal k moci. Počas jeho režimu sa zhoršili vzťahy Iránu so Západom a tiež so susedným Irakom, s ktorým už krátko po jeho nástupe k moci vypukla krvavá vojna.

V roku 1989 vyhlásil fatvu, ktorá požadovala smrť básnika Salmana Rushdieho za údajné znesvätenie proroka Mohameda v diele Satanské verše. Wikipedia

“if you hope at this juncture to cut the Gordian knots of socialism and communism by appealing to the center of Western capitalism, you will, far from remedying any of the ills of your society, commit a mistake which those to come will have to erase. For if Marxism has come to a deadlock in its social and economic policies, capitalism has also bogged down.”

“From the beginning while we were engaged in these issues, I said in interviews with those who came from abroad, even in Najaf or Paris or among my personal words, I have always said that clerics have an occupation which is more important than these executive jobs, and should Islam become victorious, clerics would dedicate themselves to their own occupation. But as we went on with the revolution, we found out that if we tell all clerics to go after their mosques, this country would fall into the throat of America and Soviet Union. We experienced and saw, those who took the lead but were not clerics, even though some of them were religious people, our revolutionary path was not according to their taste, therefore… we temporarily deviate from our original word until this country could be administered by those other than clerics, then clerics will go back to their preach and their own position and they will leave executive matters to others who work for Islam.”

“Before the revolution I thought there are appropriate individuals who would do the job according to Islam, therefore I repeatedly said that clerics would go after their own job. Then I saw that most of them were inappropriate individuals and I found out that what I said was not true, so I came and clearly announced that I was wrong.”
