This pro-Ayatollah conference held in

Dallas last weekend, billed as a “Tribute to The Great Islamic Visionary,”

Ayatollah Khomeini, ought to be front page news, but so far, the MSM is

uninterested. Not so World Net Daily, which points out in today’s dispatch that one of the

speakers, a radical DC imam, was reportedly investigated by the FBI as a

possible agent of Tehran. Meanwhile, Robert Spencer wrote a good column not

long ago after seeing pro-Khomeini placards at a Muslim demonstration in

Dearborn, Michigan. He warned readers with short memories what Khomeini

stood for:

As Khomeini himself put it: “Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males,
provided they are not disabled or incapacitated, to prepare themselves for
the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every
country in the world….But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand
why Islam wants to conquer the whole world.”
The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.
As Khomeini put it: “What is the good of us [i.e., the mullahs] asking for
the hand of a thief to be severed or an adulteress to be stoned to death
when all we can do is recommend such punishments, having no power to
implement them?”
Khomeini accordingly delivered notorious rebuke to the
Islam-is-a-religion-of-peace crowd: “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend
that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam
says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this
mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the
unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter
[their armies]…. Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the
sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except
with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only
for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] psalms and
Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight.
Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging
war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”

That was part of Ayatollah Khomeini’s vision. What kind of person wishes to

step forward and pay tribute to it? Why were prominent Dallas Muslim

leaders, and a Muslim who plays professional basketball for the Dallas

Mavericks, involved in this thing? Do they support this?
