“This regime is the base of domineering powers and as long as the hegemonic system and the Zionist regime are in existence, nations would not see a peaceful day,” said President Ahmadinejad in Tuesday’s opening session of the 1st International Conference on Women and Islamic Awakening in the Iranian capital Tehran.
Insisting that Islamic awakening is the key condition for a fundamental development in the global situation, he said, “Nothing [new] will happen in the world unless people are awakened.”
On the effective role of women in social developments across the globe, the president said, “If women are determined [to make a change in any community], it is impossible that nothing would transpire and we have witnessed this in Iran and we can see it today in the world.”
Noting that today Europe and the US “have demolished” the existence of women, he added, “So long as women do not play their respective role, plundering, colonialism and crime will ensue and today the biggest abuse and repression has been carried out against women.”
The Iranian president addressed the female participants of the conference, saying “your mission is quite burdensome.” He also urged them not to confine such a “divine mission” based on race, geographical location, ethnicity or language.
He further described that all the freedom-loving and justice-seeking human beings are brothers, vowing that “the global domination by the US and the Zionist regime is unsettled and will be replaced by justice.”
President Ahmadinejad reiterated that at the time of slavery the repression of human being was overtly carried out; however, today the hegemonic powers resort to pro-human rights and freedom slogans to deceive the world.
He also rejected free elections in the US, insisting that “a group of corrupt Zionist capitalists are acting behind the scenes in the US and rule over 300 million Americans and other nations.”
“American people lack freedom of choice; it is the Zionists that decide who will become the [US] president according to their needs,” the president added.
More than 1500 female researchers and scholars as well as political and social activists from more than 80 countries are taking part in the two-day conference.
Senior Iranian and foreign officials including Ali Akbar Velayati, the secretary-general of the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening and an advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Commander of Iran’s Basij Force Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naqdi and Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq Seyyed Ammar al-Hakim are also attending the conference.
Earlier in January, Tehran hosted the 2nd International Youth and Islamic Awakening, attracting some 1500 scholars and experts from 73 countries.
Some 700 Muslim figures from 80 countries also attended the 1st International Conference on Islamic Awakening held in Tehran back in September 2011.
