Pres. Rouhani: We’ll win against Zionism, US if united

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): President described the logic of Islam as freedom of human societies and stressed, “The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) brought the path of light and guidance for the entire world”.

Speaking on Saturday at the 32nd International Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran, President Hassan Rouhani added, “The United States’ bullying and interests is not the basis, but rather respecting the rights and interests of peoples is”.

“The disagreement between the World of Islam and the United States is regarding freedom and coercion,” continued the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The President added, “The Prophet brought brotherhood for Muslims and peaceful coexistence for the entire world”.

“Islam is the religion of respecting human beings and high human values,” he continued, saying, “Dignity of Muslims in the world depends on the recognition of the Prophet's intended freedom”.

Stating that, “What the United States wants in the region today is slavery,” Dr Rouhani said, “After World War II, the United Nations was formed based on more power and the right to veto, and anyone having deadlier weapon, got the right to veto in the world”.

He continued, “One of the most important effects of World War II was the formation of a cancerous tumour in the region”.

The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran went on to say, “They deployed a power in the region that completely obeys the West in regional matters,” adding, “They formed the fake Israeli regime and killed and displaced the historical nation of Palestine”.

“If the United States is honest in saying that they have confidence in some countries in the region, why do they say that the reason for protecting them is Israel's survival and security?,” said Rouhani.

He continued, “Submission to America and the West means betraying Islamic ideals and Muslim generations, and laying red carpet for historic criminals”.

Stating that, “We are not afraid of those who draw sword against Islam; hard days strengthen our faith,” Dr Rouhani added, “In times of war, there’s sometimes victory and sometimes failure, but if we stand for God, we will be the ultimate victor”.

He continued, “The Muslims' first duty is hoping in the brilliant future of the World of Islam and the fulfilment of God’s promise”.

“Nobody can put off the light of truth and dominate darkness on the Islamic community,” said Rouhani adding, “Young people should know that we will put hardships behind us”.

Posing the question, “Didn’t the people of the region overcome terrorists? Haven’t the Palestinian nation stood up against aggressors?,” Dr Rouhani said, “The Yemenis resist against the bombing by Western weapons with empty hands”.

He continued, “Over the past 40 years and during the War, we resisted against the entire world and won”.

The President added, “The day when our people were under rocket and chemical bombs attack, nobody in the world spoke about it”.

“With the transfer of its embassy to al-Quds, the United States has shown hostility towards the World of Islam more than ever,” said Rouhani.

“Relying on foreigners is the biggest historical mistake; you gave a $450-billion gift to ensure your security?,” he continued, “They said you were dairy cattle; at least do not accept open insults from the United States”.

“We are ready to support the people of Saudi Arabia against aggression, terrorism and plundering,” said Rouhani, adding, “We consider you and the peoples of the region our brothers”.

Stating that, “The enemy is not afraid of the unity slogan,” the President said, “We will win against Zionism and the US if we become united”.

He continued, “All Islamic religions are recognised,” adding that “unity in language is not possible, but unity is the product of the heart, not the language”.

All branches of Islam must recognise each other, he said, continuing, “Instead of inviting other branches of Islam to your branch, invite the world to Islam”

“The interests and bullying of the United States is not the basis, but respecting peoples’ rights and interests is,” he added.

He continued, “Prophet of Islam brought path of light, guidance for entire world,” saying, “We have a single Quran, prophet and qibla; the enemy's goal is to put us at points of disagreement”.

The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran added, “The unity of the World of Islam is not temporary or tactical; even if there is no hostility, unity is strategic for the World of Islam”.

He said, “If we follow the path of Prophet Muhammad, our happiness in the world and the after world is guaranteed”.

“If we stand around the Prophet (PBUH), our strength will be more than the enemies’ weapon,” continued Dr Rouhani.
