A member of the Supreme Council of Seminaries said,” some say that the work of the seminary is only preaching Islam. Propagation of the command of the Messenger and the command of God, which is politics. The leaders of this matter are the pure imams, peace be upon them, and on behalf of the Imam of the time, the supreme leader is also in charge of such matter, therefore obedience to him is obligatory.”

A member of Qom Seminary Teachers Society said,” The danger of infiltration must be avoided, today there is someone in the seminary who defends Baha'ism, which is surprising. Bahaism is a political party whose mission is espionage for the interest of colonial countries such as The U.S. and England, especially the Zionist regime.”
