Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – Speaking at a conference held in Qom, Iran, Hujjat al-Islam Sayyid Mahdi Mirbaqiri, asserted that one of the major enemy's plots against Islam is cultural invasion through humiliating target countries' values, adding "Our enemies used to humiliate us via their cultural and technological advances. "

The seminary cleric then reiterated that following the victory of Iran's Islamic Revolution, the situation began to change as the Iranian people recognized their self-esteem and pride. As a result, the glamour of Western lifestyle and civilization began to fade in the eyes of Iranian people. As a matter of fact, what late Imam Khomeini, the founder of the revolution, did was to free our youth from the chains of western culture and that is something we need to promote and carry on for the years to come."

"The reality of the West is different from what is depicted in Hollywood or other media networks."

"Today, the enemies are out to revive the bipolarized order of the world by putting Islam and the West in two opposite fronts; they aim to introduce Iran as the main axis of the Islamic front. The Late Imam Khomeini started a movement to restore the glory of Muslim nations throughout the world and the enemies are trying to polarize the world to undermine this great movement."

Head of the Cultural center for Islamic Sciences further added, "Today, modern slavery is carried out by some private U.S. prisons since slavery is still legal there; this is something we should work on and inform the world about so everyone knows the reality of the West."

"The U.S. presidential debates yet revealed other shocking realities; during the debates, the true face of America was shown to the public and Trump himself severely criticized the West and the U.S. for their policies" Mirbaqiri added.

"The philosophy of war and confrontation with enemies must be extracted from Islamic sources and introduced to the Public; such confrontations are unavoidable and necessary." The cleric concluded.

End.
