TEHRAN (Defapress)-Speaking at a ceremony commemorating the 29th demise anniversary of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Javad Kachueian said the late Imam Khomeini with his divine ideas changed the course of history and laid the foundations of great upheavals in Iran and the world.

Under present conditions when some immature leaders of the Islamic world through their wrong ideas are introducing Islam as a factor of violence and extremism, it is necessary to review the late Imam Khomeini's belief that religion rejects violence and extremism.

The Iranian envoy also said the late Imam Khomeini believed that religion had nothing to do with violence and that any attempt to link religion with violence at individual , social and international levels were doomed to fail.
