"With due attention to the Islamic content of the Iranian Revolution, the Constitution provides the necessary basis for ensuring the continuation of the Revolution at home and abroad. In particular, in the development of international relations, the Constitution will strive with other Islamic and popular movements to prepare the way for the formation of a single world community (in accordance with the Koranic verse "This your community is a single community, and I am your Lord, so worship Me" [21:92]), and to assure the continuation of the struggle for the liberation of all deprived and oppressed peoples in the world."

I'd say that this "goal" is irrational since it seeks to prevent the possibility that other people in other lands might not want their governments to act "in accordance with the Koran."
(I wonder if all the people who died in Iran during Khomeini's purges aught to be called his disciples too.  ) |
