They are all ready to follow us...

They are all ready to follow us, but we are so lacking in resolve that we are unable to lead them. We must establish a government that will enjoy the trust of the people, one in which the people have confidence and to which they will be able to entrust their destiny.’ Now that you have heard this from the man behind the revolution itself you should have little problems in understanding the rest of the chapter.

I would like to get rid of the misunderstanding that this is a Shiite revolution, as you can see that there was not such concept in the minds of the people who created this revolution. There was no differentiation in the minds between the Shiites and the Sunnis. The fact is that they neither believed in a Shiite government nor a Sunni government, but an Islamic government in which there is no difference between the two. Their Islam is the one which revolves around government.

The main purpose of the revolution was to form a government. You know that I do not say anything without evidence, which I aim to present later on. Let me first tell you that apart from a few minor differences in their ‘Furoo’ there is no difference between the two sects. Both sects are in fact one and the same.

The teachings of the Holy Imams (a.s.) and the injustices they suffered, their killings, the suppression of the Shiites and their killings, being cemented in the walls whilst still alive, etc. which have been related in thousands on books over the centuries have all been regarded as fairy tales.

Those who have been to Iran will see that the Shiite religious ordinances are slowly but surely being made to be ever closer to the Sunni ones, and the day is not far when apart from the matter of grieving for Imam Husayn (a.s.) no difference will remain between the two. Every one is aware that there is a world of difference between the two sects in the beliefs as well as actions. Take a look at a few examples. 1.The major differences is in the testimonies being borne.

The Shiites bear three testimonies which includes the Mastership (Wilayah) of Imam Ali (a.s.) whilst the others just stop at two. 2.The Shiites do not ascribe a body to Allah (s.w.t.) and consider Him (s.w.t.) to be beyond sight. The other sects, however, ascribe a body for the Divine Creator and they all agree that He (s.w.t.) can be seen. 3.The Shiites believe in the Justice of Allah (s.w.t.) to be part of their primary beliefs whereas the others consider it otherwise.
