Website of the Office of Grand Ayatullah Saanei :: THE SHIITE SCHOOL

THE SHIITE SCHOOL The Shiite religion has consistently fought against oppression, cruelty and prejudice and has adopted a critical and an objecting stance towards oppressive governments, and in some instances, has confronted them through the channel of civil disobedience. The Shiite scholars, too, have constantly fought oppressors and dictatorial rulers. We have had such cases in the contemporary Iranian history including “the Tobacco Movement,” “the Constitutional Movement,” “the Movement for the Nationalization of the Oil Industry,” “the Uprising on June 5, 1963,” and the “Islamic Revolution.” Even today, due to the fact that the Shiite religion is after establishing justice and freedom, it is confronted on all sides, with enmity on the part of those who worship power.
