We came here because some 47 years ago fanatic Islamic Shiite regime took over the government, the ruling in Iran. uh pro promising freedom and liberty and sequality and good life and everything positive.
But once they took the the rule in Iran, they began to change totally and they said that we didn't do the revolution for the safety and good behavior of good being of the Iranians.
We did it for the sake of Islam. We are trying to refined the glory of Islam. And Iran is a big country. Iran is a rich country.
Iran is very populated. So they wanted to use all these qualities to gain your aim which is overruling the Islamic world and to be the leaders of Islam.
They are Shiit Shiites and in fact the fight is against the Sunnites.
The Sunnis who are 90% of the Muslims in the wars and for reaching this aim one of their targets is to annihilate Israel.
Interviewer:
I have two questions:
So what you're saying is they came in pretending to be some type of a socialist communist movement, that would bring people more equality and prosperity. Is that what you're saying?
And then their aims were the Islamization of the country, the world, but the fight against or the homogyny over the Sunnis.
Manashe:
Manashe:
Exactly. Overtaking Iran at the first phase, then overtaking the Shiite countries in the region like Iraq and Lebanon and later on to anhilate Israel, and to take over all these region, the Middle East and later on to go and to fight against other Muslim countries and to to overthrow the situation and to become the leaders of the Islamic world.
