• Khomeini obviously had many problems, but he had one clever side to him. He never made economic promises to people and as a result, he never led to dissatisfaction in this perspective. Because they need to get votes, they use misleading slogans. And this leads to rising expectations. I had a personal experience.

• En clase de arte aprendimos a dibujar tanques y soldados abriendo fuego contra [el líder iraní, el ayatolá] Jomeini y su barba. No nos enseñaban los nombres de las flores que crecían a nuestro alrededor en la ciudad: flores silvestres de todo tipo y color. El profesor de matemáticas azotaba a los niños con el cinturón del pantalón. Mi padre era constantemente violento con mi madre por las razones más triviales.

• Jomeini no era una marioneta como Arafat o Gadafi o los muchos otros dictadores que conocí en el mundo islámico. Era una especie de Papa, una especie de rey, un auténtico líder.

• Since Khomeini's death, the popular appeal of an Islamic state - and of fundamentalism - has surely dimmed. Thinkers still debate and warriors kill, but no country seems prepared to emulate Iran. Perhaps revolutions happen only under majestic leaders, and no one like Khomeini has since appeared.

• Prior to his takeover of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini was camping near Paris, giving daily news conferences to a fawning international press corps without a murmur of complaint to France from the United States about the disaster it was coddling in the incredibly naive liberal belief that this extremist cleric would be an improvement over the Shah.

• Look at Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution and the slogans that they used: anti-imperialism; anti-colonialism; the struggle of the have-nots against the haves; the state monopoly over economy, which was very much patterned after the Soviet Union. All of these things did not come out of Islam. Islam is not that developed.

• No tienen nada que hacer administrando políticas gubernamentales en un país que favorece la libertad y la igualdad. ... La idea hindú y budista del karma y la idea musulmana del kismet, o destino, condenan a los pobres y a los discapacitados a su sufrimiento. ... Es la voluntad de Alá. Estas creencias no son más que fatalismo abyecto, y devastarían los logros sociales que esta nación ha conseguido si se pusieran en práctica.

• Los dirigentes del régimen de Pahlavi, en un intento de impedir la creciente oleada del movimiento revolucionario islámico, se esforzaron por poner en duda la posición del imán Jomeini como marja'a (máxima autoridad religiosa) y, de este modo, socavar la fe pública en su competencia académica, política y religiosa.
