Kazem Jalali, Iran’s former ambassador to Moscow attended an international webinar held on the 31st passing anniversary of Imam Khomeini (RA) discussing the high character and thoughts of the late leader who revived religion in modern world, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA). He counted two major blocs before victory of Islamic Revolution, the capitalist bloc which found religion as a relation between man and his god and the Marxist bloc which found religion as “opium of the people”, none of which could count a revolution based on religion.
