Website of the Office of Grand Ayatullah Saanei :: ISLAM AND DEMOCRACY

ISLAM AND DEMOCRACY In Islam, democracy exists in its full shape and form since what is basic in a democracy is the observance of all people’s rights, and Islam has already taken account of all the people and no one group or minority has been left out. If, incidentally, there are any shortcomings, it would be the fault of those in charge of the operational arena. We must put our efforts into showing the world that Islam and Shiism is the source and defender of democracy, freedom, and human rights, and against terrorism. We must show that anyone, any where, irrespective of color, race, and religion who has put their efforts in getting the people their rights, is favored by Islam and by all men in general. I emphasize that, from our point of view, democracy means the achievement of everything through people’s votes, and if there appears to be a problem in the proper realization of this, it is due to the fact that the right Islamic culture and laws are not in operation, because freedom can never cause any harm to religion. Islam is not a religion of force and imposition. We must educate people in such a way that they will operate correctly by themselves.
