I. 7

Youth

Students have got their eyes open. If you present them with [the case for an Islamic republic], they will embrace it eagerly. Our students are against despotism, against repressive and colonialist authorities, against the ruffians who pillage the property of the people, against the Hars who consume impurities. There is no student or university that opposes an Islam founded on teachings such as ours and run according to social principles such as ours.

Our young people have the duty to rip the turban from the heads of those who, by pretending to be holy men and religious experts of Islam, are causing so much corruption among Muslims. I don’t know if our youth is still alive! In my day it was never thus. Why don’t they rip off those turbans? I don’t say we should kill them, they are not worth killing. But our brave youth must see to it that such mullahs do not appear in public wearing the turban. It’s not necessary to hit them too much, but those turbans must come off!

Put aside your sadness and resignation! Improve your programs and methods of spreading Islam! Make greater efforts to give it a fair presentation! Do your part: be the front-runners in setting up an Islamic republic. Put your hands in the hands of fighting and independent peoples!

Young boys or girls in full sexual effervescence are kept from getting married before they reach legal age of majority. This is against the intention of divine laws. Why should the marriage of pubescent girls and boys forbidden because they are still minors, when they are allowed to listen to the radio and to sexually arousing music?

You, young people of the new generation, try to think more clearly. Stop turning toward science and its laws which have led so many among you to neglect your major responsibilities! Come to the help of Islam! Save the Muslims! The missionaries of different denominations, who are in service of the imperialists just as their local agents are, have spread to the four corners of the country.to turn our youth away from the path of righteousness and keep them from the service of Islam. Save that youth!
