In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Highness Khalifah Bin Hamad Al-e Thani, Emir of Qatar,
I acknowledge the receipt of your message of congratulations on the occasion of the arrival of the auspicious feast of Fitr with appreciation. Reciprocally, I congratulate you and the brotherly and Muslim people of your country on this great feast. What causes deep regret in these days and grieves every Muslim is the indifference of many of Islamic governments in the face of aggression of criminal Israel on the Muslims of Lebanon and the crimes of `Aflaqite Saddam who kills hundreds of Iranian women and men and defenseless children with fatal bombs every day, while no voice is raised nor any reaction shown to these crimes. We are sure that as long as the puppet Israeli government and the Ba`ath `Aflaqite party of Iraq as well as the criminal Saddam are in the region, Islamic governments will not experience security and stability, because both of them are nurtured and inspired by one source and serve as tools by the International Zionism for the realization of its plots. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you!
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
