In Iran's future Islamic system everyone can express their opinion, and the Islamic government will respond to logic with logic.
Women are free in the Islamic Republic in the selection of their activities and their future and their clothing.
Since Khomeini's death, the popular appeal of an Islamic state - and of fundamentalism - has surely dimmed. Thinkers still debate and warriors kill, but no country seems prepared to emulate Iran. Perhaps revolutions happen only under majestic leaders, and no one like Khomeini has since appeared.
In Islam, democracy is included and people are free in Islam, both in expressing their opinions and their actions, until there is no conspiracy and they don't bring up ideas which would deviate Iranian generation.
In the Islamic government all people have complete freedom to have any kind of opinion.
Islam is politics or it is nothing.
In Islam, the legislative power and competence to establish laws belong exclusively to God Almighty.
What country is stabler than Iran? Where else in the world would an assassinated prime minister be so quickly replaced?
The people will not rest until the Pahlavi rule has been swept away and all traces of tyranny have disappeared. As long as the Shah's satanic power prevails, not a single true representative of the people can possibly be elected.
These issues that exist among people that we are Iranian and what we need to do for Iran are not correct; these issues are not correct. This issue, which is perhaps being discussed everywhere, regarding paying attention to nation and nationality is nonsense in Islam and is against Islam. One of the things that the designers of Imperialism and their agents have promoted is the idea of nation and nationality.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran is honourable for it is the cry which has its origin in Ayatollah Khomeini's conscience.
One thing I congratulate everyone on is the great explosion which has occurred in Washington's Black House and the very important scandal which has gripped leaders of America.
In the world there is no democracy better than our democracy. Such a thing has never before been seen.
With people's revolutionary rage, the king will be ousted and a democratic state, Islamic Republic, will be established.
