Former Iraqi PM Hails Iran for Holding Islamic Awakening Conference
TEHRAN (FNA)- Former Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jafari hailed Tehran for holding the first conference on Islamic Awakening.
"The meeting has strategic plans to support the Islamic Awakening," Jafari told FNA on the sidelines of the conference, adding that the gathering was a good opportunity for the Muslim leaders to become acquainted with each other's views.
He underlined the role of Iran's Islamic Revolution in inspiring the regional uprisings, and said that weapons and money had no role in the victory of the Islamic Revolution; hence, the path paved by the Iranian revolutionaries towards success should be studied carefully.
Jafari underlined the growing trend of Islamic Awakening in the world, and said that nothing can hinder the spread of Islamic Awakening, and revolutions will continue.
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.
In Libya, while the euphoric Libyan revolutionaries seized control of most of Tripoli on August 22 in a lightning advance, they are still inches away from final victory.
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 in April.
