If a fly gets into the throat of one who is fasting, it is not necessary to pull it out.
Ruhollah KhomeiniIn the Islamic government all people have complete freedom to have any kind of opinion.
Ruhollah KhomeiniThose who say that we want nationality, they are standing against Islam....We have no use for the nationalists. Moslems are useful for us. Islam is against nationality.
Ruhollah KhomeiniIslam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur'anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.
