Imam Khomeini blamed Muslim governments not Islam for Muslim's misfortune and the weakness due to them. Because the enemies' advertisements were to introduce Islamic laws underdeveloped but Imam considered Islamic governors the main reason for the unorganized situation of Muslims:
"These poor, deceived governments have brought us to this. They say that Islam is like this…these helpless heads of state who pay no attention to the welfare of their own nations, or who simply do not want to pay attention. They are the cause of our wretchedness. They have created dark days for our people. And still they don't leave us alone; they continue to make problems for us." (1)
Imam considered the Islamic governors the origin of Muslim plights and problems, because these governors with the same religion and the same book are divided instead of being together. Many of the afflictions of the Muslims spring from their governments. "Muslim governments that must speak with one voice, think alike. They are of a single religion; they have one Book yet everybody sees that others are exploiting the differences that exist among them. However, nobody goes after the remedy; rather every day their differences become greater and their division also becomes greater. The superpowers also say the same thing that we should be alienated from each other and even be the enemies of one another and be preoccupied with each other so that they benefit from it." (2) According to Imam the division between the governments and the people is the most important problem:
"One of the problems that once again plague the Muslims is the problem of the government and the people; and the governments- to the extent of our knowledge and your knowledge- are governments that have no understanding with their nation. The governments' dealing with the nations is that of an enemy toward another. The people turn their back on the government while the government wants to impose its will on the people. For this reason, the nations do not support the governments; rather they enter into a contract with the enemy- and these results in the weakness of the governments." (3)
