Ahmadinejad urges divine, monotheistic belief.

HAMEDAN Saturday, November 14, 2009 (Balochistan Times): President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Friday that mankind will not attain perfection unless through divine and monotheistic ideology. Mankind will not reach perfection without divine and monotheistic ideology. Prophets fulfilled the same mission and today, the perfect man, though being invisible to our eyes, is present, said President Ahmadinejad in an address to the closing ceremony of the International Bu Ali Sina(Avicenna) Festival. He said the root cause of mankinds calamities throughout history has been his materialistic attitude towards man and the world. The president said the World War I and World War II had been the result of the materialists wrong attitude. Certain peoples materialistic approach towards the world and their ignorance of spirituality, morals, worshiping and unity resulted in murder, massacre and homelessness of tens of million people and demolition of thousands of cities, regretted the president. On the other hand, said the president, liberalism, founded on materialism, freed man from real captivity, while taking him away of the truth of universe and existence. They (liberalists) deprived man from the resolve for perfection, love, passion, justice, spirituality and morals and tightened the heaviest type of shackle around his leg, saying him you are free! added the president. What is everlasting is that left by the scholars, intellectuals and scientists who viewed man and the world with the monotheistic and divine angle, he concluded. Elsewhere he said that man does not need atom bomb and weapons of mass destruction but research and cultural centres. Atom bomb and weapons of mass destruction have not solved mans problem and have not brought prosperity. Man today needs cultural and intellectual engagement and relations instead, he said. He added thats human aspect, thought and culture that make man perfect. He said today, humanistic and cultural meetings are more vital than the vain political meetings. Referring to the joint proposal of Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan to designate the year 2010 as the year of cultural proximity and convergence, President Ahmadinejad said it will be a good opportunity for nations and human communities to upgrade cultural ties. He added that the road to perfection would be trodden easily by resorting to commonalties. Meanwhile, President Ahmadinejad said here Thursday that all problems of the country will be solved through endeavours of Iranian academics and experts. In a meeting with a group of lecturers and professors of universities of Tarbiat Modarres and Amir Kabir, President Ahmadinejad briefed the audience on his strategies to ensure growing success and progress of the country. He also highlighted significance of his subsidy cut plan as well as fair distribution of resources and wealth among citizens. In yet another meeting, President Ahmadinejad, addressing a group of scholars, said Iran owes its glory and success to Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of supreme jurisprudence). He said expansion of Quranic culture is a national and religious duty.
