(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Imam Khamenei arrived in the holy city of Qom on Tuesday 19th of October 2010 amidst unprecedented and warm welcome accorded to him by the people of Qom and later returned to Tehran following his 10-day trip.
Tehran's Friday prayers leader further termed the trip of Imam Khamenei to the holy city of Qom an important issue and said that: "The presence of the Leader in this holy city is undoubtedly the most auspicious trip, with wide-scale dimensions."
Further in his remarks, Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami added that: "The Global Arrogance has launch a futile attempt in the past 17 months to somehow show that the Iranian people have distanced themselves from sources of emulation and Islamic seminaries; but the highly welcomed trip of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to holy Qom led them to withdraw from their stances."
Tehran's interim Friday prayers leader also pointed to the national day of fight against global arrogance or National Students Day and said that: "As long as America's hegemonic behavior does not change against Iran, Washington will have to bury the dream of dialogue with Tehran."
Ayatollah Khatami also described the current situation in Iraq as tragic and appalling, saying that no people of conscience would look at it with indifference.
Tehran's Friday Prayers leader further warned that opponents of Iraq's independence who want a destabilized Iraq to guarantee their own vested interests should know that they will themselves face the flames of fire and terror one day.
