“The Western values that have led to the collapse of ethics and spread of revelry, violence, legalization of homosexuality and other such fiascos in their countries, cannot be followed.

Ayatullah Khamenei to the Hajj pilgrims from the whole world,” The Office of the Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei, January 9, 2006, http://www.leader.ir/langs/en/?p=contentShow&id=3491.
