TEHRAN (FNA)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei called on Muslims, specially clerics, to continue their vigilant and strong reactions to the anti-Islam moves made by arrogant powers and global Zionism.
Addressing jurisprudents, teachers, lecturers and elites of Howzeh Elmiyeh Seminary in Iran's city of Qom on Sunday, Ayatollah Khamenei reminded hostility of the arrogant powers, the US and global Zionism towards the promotion of religion, and cautioned that this hostility should never be underestimated.
"Plots and measures such as the insulting cartoons (against Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)), Quran burning and the other (similar) moves made by the global Zionism signify the depth of the maliciousness of the enemies of Islam and they (these plots and measures) should not be underestimated," Ayatollah Khamenei stressed.
The Leader added that the Islamic Seminaries, specially the one in Qom, cannot keep mum about these hostilities and continue taking wise and strong stances against such anti-Islam moves.
Meantime, Ayatollah Khamenei asked the country's religious students to remain vigilant and watch out for enemy-oriented and enemy-desired moves.
The Iranian Supreme Leader started a 9-day visit to Qom last Tuesday. Upon arrival, he was extended an astonishingly warm welcome by tens of thousands people who had been waiting for him for days.
Analysts believe that the wide public welcome broadcast live on Iran's state-run TV signifies the highest rate of the Iranian Leader's popularity among the masses of the people from all the different walks of life, and proves the nation's strong relationship and support for the Islamic establishment, insuring the country against possible enemy invasion.
