Khalil Sahouri was speaking to the Qods News Agency in Tehran a few days ahead of the 36th anniversary of the landmark revolution.
Currently a student in the Qom seminary, Sahouri said the Islamic Revolution issued a wake-up call for the Muslim community in Latin America.
The university graduate said the Iranian revolution inspired the Muslim population in South America whose number as he put were around hundreds of thousands when the revolution got triumph.
“The LA Muslim community absorbed many traits of an Islamic society following the revolution,” he said.
The pro-Palestinian activist also touched on the effects of the Iranian revolution on the Palestinian issue and said February 11 was a starting point for genuine Palestinian resistance against Israel.
“Palestinians were in a state of hibernation prior to the Islamic Revolution however they got a new life thank to the revolution,” Sahouri said.
