A ceremony to commemorate the 17th anniversary of the demise of the Founder of Islamic Republic, the late Imam Khomeini, was held in the Imam Reza mosque in Brussels Saturday night.An Arab preacher, Sheikh Abdullah, lauded Imam Khomeini's unflinching struggle to restore the pride and dignity of the Iranian people in particular and Muslims in general by standing up against the arrogant powers. "The enemies cannot extinguish the light of the Islamic Revolution. O Imam Khomeini ! your soul is with us," he said. Speaking in Arabic and French, the preacher pointed out that Imam Khomeini proved to the world that Islam is real democracy and grants real freedom to the people. He noted that without any soldiers and army, Imam Khomeini brought down strong Western-supported dictatorship of the Shah. Another speaker recited poetry in Arabic in praise of the noble soul of Imam Khomeini. Arab and Iranian residents of Brussels and members of the Iranian embassy staff including ambassador Ali Ahani participated in the ceremony. Posted by: ryuge 2006-06-04 |
