Since the most important political and social aim of Islam is to establish social justice, the followers of pure Mohammadian Islam feels themselves committed to support indigents and fight continually against the arrogant:
“We are supposed to rescue the op- Anti-arrogance and Support of Indigents across the World in ... 63 pressed and deprived people. We are obliged to be the supporters of the oppressed, and the enemy of the oppressors.
This is just the duty that Imam Ali (P.b.u.h.) reminds his two sons. He tells them to be the enemy of oppressors and to be kind to the oppressed people.
He also says: I accepted the rulership because Allah has assigned the Islamic scientists not to be silent toward the voracity and plundering of oppressors and hunger and suffering of the oppressed nations” (Imam Khomeini, 1378, 28-29).
In fact, defending the rights of the oppressed is the everlasting motto of the followers of pure Mohammadian Islam:
“The most salient different of the committed Islamic clergy from so-called clergy is that the former have always been the target of poisonous bullets of imperialism and its first bullets have always hit their hearts. But the so-called clergy have always been under the support of the oppressors. Up to this date I haven’t seen a so-called clergy to object against the aggressive Russia or the United States of America."
"On the other hand, I haven’t seen a real clergyman to be indifferent toward the sufferings of bare-footed oppressed people. Islamic nations know why individuals like “Motahhari” and “Beheshti” in Iran, “Sadr” and “Hakim” in Iraq “Ragheb Harb” in Lebanon, and “Koreim” in Pakistan and other countries are the targets of terrorism” (Imam Khomeini, 1379, Vol. 21: 120).
