Ayatollah Khamenei

Science, is the most obvious instrument of dignity and power for a country. The other face of knowledge is ability. The west brought about 200 years of wealth, influence, and power for itself thanks to their advances in science, and despite their weak moral and ideological foundations, they could dominate societies left behind from the train of science, politics, and economy by imposing western lifestyle on them. We are not calling for the abuse of science like what the West did; however, we insist on the country’s need to flow the fountains of science among ourselves.

The scientific movement has an enemy. Who is the enemy? Now, some people will say, “It is clear. As soon as he mentions the word ‘the enemy’, it is clear that he means America, the Zionists and the like. He has a conspiracy illusion.” But this is not a conspiracy illusion, rather it is seeing and having full knowledge of conspiracy.

"And incline not to those who oppress” [11: 113]
Do not trust oppressors and cruel people and do not be inclined towards them. The Arabic word “rakun” means having a propensity for something and trusting somebody or something. It says that we should not trust oppressors. The result of trusting oppressors is what you see in the present time: Muslim governments and Islamic organizations trust the most oppressive and cruel elements in the world and they are seeing the consequences tangibly.
