Imam Khomeini asked Gorbachev to reevaluate predecessors’ policy of obliterating God and religion from society

Reevaluate your predecessors’ policy of obliterating God and religion from society. Rest assured that this is the only way whereby world problems can be dealt with realistically, Imam Khomeini said to the last leader of Soviet Union.

Mr. Gorbachev,

Reality must be faced. The main problem confronting your country is not one of private ownership, freedom and economy; your problem is the absence of true faith in God.

Mr. Gorbachev,

Communism will only have to be found in the museums of world political history, for Marxism cannot meet any of the real needs of mankind. It is a materialistic ideology and materialism cannot bring humanity out of the crisis caused by a lack of belief in spirituality.

I earnestly call on you not to get trapped, while tearing down the walls of Marxist illusions in the prison of the West and the Great Satan. I hope that you will attain the honor of removing the decayed layers of 70-year communist aberration from the face of history and of your country.

Mr. Gorbachev,

let me call on you to study Islam earnestly, not because Islam and Muslims may need you but because Islam has exalted universal values which can bring comfort and salvation to all nations and remove the basic problems of mankind.

you have shown that you no longer consider religion as the “opiate of people.” Only that religion is the opiate of the people that causes the material and spiritual resources of Islamic and non-Islamic countries to pass into the clutches of super- and lesser powers and that preaches religion to be separate from politics; it is what our people call an “American religion.”
