        Tehran, Aug 14, IRNA -- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that western liberal democracy must be blamed for two world wars, proliferation of nuclear and chemical weapons and for bringing to existence such groups as Taliban in the international community.
        Referring to the attempts under way to separate religion from politics, the Supreme Leader said that world powers are making every effort to separate religion from politics and social life, but to no avail, as the late Imam Khomeini put forward the idea that noble Islam can effectively be applied to social life.
        The Islamic Revolution is the outcome of the late Imam's tenet that Islam is applicable to every aspect of life, the Supreme Leader said.
        "The Islamic Revolution has set a model vis-a-vis western liberal democracy and Marxism," the Leader said.
        On Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation, the Supreme Leader said that Palestinian youth, inspired by the Islamic Revolution of Iran, have tilted the power balance in the Middle East, adding that the enemy understood the magnitude of the Islamic Revolution's influence and has resorted to a psychological warfare to contain this process.
        "We should publicize our idea of religious democracy against western liberal democracy, because liberal democracy has so far created two world wars and engaged in proliferation of nuclear and chemical arms and bringing into existence groups like Taliban in the international community," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
        The Supreme Leader said that literature of US President George W. Bush is very similar to that of (Adolf) Hitler adding that the western powers have become so arrogant that the president of a country advocating human rights and freedom speaks with the world peoples with the language of (Adolf) Hitler.
