Sayings of Imam Khomeini

( Excerpts from his Little Green Book, published by Bantam Books, Inc. 1980)

Who liberated our country and people from the shame of Zoroastrianism,

if not the victorious army of Islam?

Europe [the West] is nothing but a collection of unjust dictatorships; all of

humanity must strike these troublemakers with an iron hand if it wishes

to regain its tranquillity. If Islamic civilization had governed the West, we

would no longer have to put up with these barbaric goings-on unworthy

even of wild animals.

It is required that everyone, who urinating or defecating, hide his sexual

parts from all pubescent persons, even his sister or his mother, as well

as from any feebleminded person or children too young to understand.

But husband and wife are not required to hide them from each other.

It is not indispensable to hide one's genitals with anything in particular;

one's hand is enough.

It is forbidden to consume the excrement of animals or their nasal

secretions. But if such are mixed in minute proportions into other foods

 their consumption is not forbidden.
