“Christians must pray God the Almighty so He relieves the Iranian nation from clutches of tyrant rule and oppression,” Imam asked.
The Christians were deeply impressed by the excellent ethical attitude of Imam and became emotionally attached to him during his stay on the suburbs of Paris.
The Christians leaders also used to acknowledge and recognize the ongoing struggle undertaken by Imam against the dictatorial regime and became supporters for the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
