Actual quotes by the original Ayatollah - Imam Khomeini.
Goodreads, Wikiquote, A-Z quotes, Google | The Ayatollah Khomeini

“We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land [Iran] burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.”
― Ruhollah Khomeini

“If one permits an infidel to continue in his role as a corrupter of the earth, the infidel's moral suffering will be all the worse. If one kills the infidel, and this stops him from perpetrating his misdeeds, his death will be a blessing to him.”
― Ruhollah Khomeini

“When anyone studies a little or pays a little attention to the rules of Islamic government, Islamic politics, Islamic society and Islamic economy he will realize that Islam is a very political religion. Anyone who will say that religion is separate from politics is a fool; he does not know Islam or politics.”
― Ruhollah Khomeini

"Islam grew with blood. The great Prophet of Islam had the Quran in one hand and a sword in the other: the sword to destroy the traitors and the Quran to guide. The Quran was the guide to those who could be guided. The sword was for the heads of traitors who could not be guided. We are not afraid of blood."
― Ruhollah Khomeini

"There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious. Islam does not allow swimming in the sea and is opposed to radio and television serials. Islam, however, allows marksmanship, horseback riding and competition.”
― Ruhollah Khomeini

"If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed and as quickly as possible and burned."
― Ruhollah Khomeini (If you think he was joking, see previous quote)

For all that, the Sunni (for example the Saudis but also the Taliban) think the Shiite
Ayatollahs are dreadful hell bound heretics. Not because of any disagreement with the
above quotes, but a disagreement over which of Muhammad's relatives was the rightful
successor.

Well, give the guy credit for not sugar-coating it. Pastor has been preaching about the fruit of the Spirit - obviously no Spirit in Islam, therefore no real God.

"If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel...

The whole crowd nods from personal experience, elbows each other and giggles and some say "Ain't that the truth" in Farsi. A shared experience moment for the crowd.

Jimmy Carter cashiered 2000 CIA agents. CIA head George H.W. Bush didn’t take it lying down. He arranged for $44 million payments to the Ayatollah Khomeini to keep U.S. diplomats hostage for the 444 days until just hours after Bush was inaugurated.

Yeah he was a real charmer.

His ruling that virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution (to deny them heaven) was probably his most repulsive quote of all.
