TEHRAN One of the leaders of Pakistan's Islamic society, Abdolhakim Jodon, said that Imam Khomeini guided his nation in the fight against the imperial regime of the Shah and his supporters, who were oppressing the nation.

He said Imam Khomeini wanted to make a real Islamic Revolution in Iran and that he encountered many problems along the way.

He was exiled from his country and he lost direct contact with his family and supporters, but all of these problems did not sway his decision and he continued on his path.

The Imam wisely guided the nation from his exile and this action was unprecedented in history, he added.

Imam Khomeini indicated one goal to the nation and the nation achieved the goal, Jodon said.

Since the Imam had strong faith in God, the threats of the main enemies of Islam like the U.S. had no effect on him and he continued his path. The victory of the revolution led by the Imam is a good model for Islamic and non-Islamic groups which fight for righteous aims. The Imam dealt with all problems with passion and stability and all should learn from the Imam.

A Swiss researcher named Ahmad Huber said that Imam Khomeini inspired the Iranian nation to confront the 1963 law of capitulation and the nation said yes to the Imam's call. According to this law U.S nationals who committed a crime in Iran were not subject to the jurisdiction of Iranian law and Iranian courts could not prosecute them.

It was very important historically that a person in a Third World country had bravery and resisted the U.S. government, Huber said.

The Imam struck down U.S. and Zionist power in Iran. This angered the U.S. because the U.S. wanted to retain influence in Iran, he added.
