Frases de Mohammad Khatami
Mohammad Khatami
Data de nascimento: 29. Setembro 1943
Seyed Muhammad Khatami , é um intelectual e político iraniano. Além do seu idioma nativo, o persa, fala árabe, inglês e alemão. Foi ministro da cultura nos anos 1980 e 1990 e presidente do Irã entre 2 de agosto de 1997 e 3 de agosto de 2005, eleito em 23 de maio de 1997 e reeleito em 2001. Foi sucedido no cargo por Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, eleito em 24 de junho de 2005.
Quando eleito, recebeu o apoio de mulheres e jovens, em razão de sua plataforma liberalizante e reformista. Internamente, defendeu a liberdade de expressão, a tolerância - tendo em conta particularmente as demandas das mulheres e dos jovens do Irã - e o fortalecimento da sociedade civil; e, externamente, mostrou-se favorável a manter relações diplomáticas "construtivas" com os demais estados da Ásia e com a União Europeia, com abertura aos investimentos estrangeiros. Khatami foi eleito com quase 70 % dos votos.
Em fevereiro de 2009, Khatami anunciou que concorreria às eleições presidenciais de 2009. Em 16 de março, renunciou à candidatura em favor de seu amigo e conselheiro, o ex-Primeiro-Ministro Mir Hussein Mussavi.
Em outubro de 2009, Mohammad Khatami e o filósofo iraniano Dariush Shayegan receberam o Prêmio Diálogo Global, da Universidade de Aarhus, Dinamarca, que o reconhecimento de contribuições relevantes para a comunicação e cooperação globais.
Um dos principais líderes da oposição reformista do Irã, Khatami tornou-se alvo da linha dura iraniana, por ter apoiado Mir Hussein Mussavi e as denúncias de fraude na eleição presidencial de junho de 2009. Uma onda maciça de protestos da oposição e pró-reforma provocou uma dura repressão do governo, que resultou em 80 manifestantes mortos, além de centenas de oposicionistas e jornalistas presos. Entre agosto de 2009 e abril de 2010, cerca de doze pessoas foram condenadas à morte e mais de 80 a penas que variam entre seis meses e 15 anos de prisão. A linha-dura iraniana também pediu a prisão, julgamento e execução de Khatami. Em abril de 2010, o governo impediu Khatami de viajar para o exterior, a fim de participar de uma conferência sobre desarmamento nuclear, em Hiroshima, no Japão.

„Offending and insulting, is different from expressing an opinion that can be analyzed, argued on, and can eventually be accepted or rejected [therefore offending others is not acceptable] … But in addition to the west, we ourselves also have problems in this regard. Instead of logical criticism or debate, we only keep saying offensive things about liberalism, democracy and modernism. I had told some of our elders before, that the religion of the today's world is 'liberalism' and we have no right to make insults about it. We should not keep using phrases such as "the corrupt culture of the west" etc. in our words. As it's also said in the Holy Koran, "Do not insult the gods of others, otherwise you are indirectly insulting your God". February 15th, 2006, during a press interview in Tehran's airport upon his return from a cultural conference in Malaysia.“

„Pope John Paul II was a seeker of truth, justice and peace. Pope John Paul II was a disciple of religious mysticism, philosophic deliberation and thought and artistic and poetic creativity, By emphasising his experience and teachings, (he) earnestly tried to utilise them in the path of the triumph of truth, justice and peace. It is hoped that the leadership of Catholic Christianity, by following the teachings of the Prophet Jesus, may peace be upon him, by interacting with justice seeking and peace loving political-religious leaders and by also following the ethical and humanitarian thinking of John Paul II, help the world towards a better and more just life.“

„We believe that Hizbullah has an authentic Lebanese identity. We love Hizbullah. I emphasized this in talks with Mr. Chirac, who said he has never called to weaken or disarm Hizbullah, and on that matter he is in disagreement with some of his European allies. Hizbullah will remain and keep its weapons.“

„What I propose is that dialogue should take place among cultures and civilizations. And as a first step, I would suggest that cultures and civilizations should not be represented by politicians but by philosophers, scientists, artists and intellectuals. [... ] Dialogue will lead to a common language and a common language will culminate in a common thought, and this will turn into a common approach to the world and global events.“
