Creating the Three Waves of Islamism in the World by the influence of the Islamic Revolution

I would tell you that when the Islamic Revolution achieved victory in Iran, Islam was revitalized in the world. Many people in the world started to think about the factors that brought about this change. They started to wonder what driving force managed to give rise to such a great event, an event that shook the west. The victory of the Islamic Revolution and the greatness of Imam Khomeini (r.a.) shook the west and the arrogant powers. Many people started searching for the causes, so they referred to the Holy Quran and found out certain truths about Islam. As a result, they were attracted towards Islam. They developed a tendency towards Islam. At that juncture, Islam was faced with a wave of attacks, which continued later on.

Islamic revolution turned the Taghuti system into a democratic system

The most important task that the Revolution has carried out–which is a fundamental task–is turning the monarchic system into a democratic system.--This is the most important task that the Revolution has carried out! And the Revolution was inspired by Islamic teachings, not by the schools of thought introduced by this or that theoretician with the shortcomings and contradictions that exist in their ideals. The Revolution was inspired by Islam and the Quran: "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil [The Holy Quran, 3: 76]."

The divine system is against the Taghuti [tyrannical] system, the Islamic Republic, and the Islamic Revolution defined the divine system to mean religious democracy.--The Islamic Republic represents this. It turned the Taghuti system into a democratic system: this is the most important task.
