		<description><![CDATA[1) Your first paragraph isn&#039;t even a proper &quot;if, then&quot; statement, so I really can&#039;t respond to it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#039;re intending to say that a plethora of ulema don&#039;t accept Ayatollah Khamenei as the Waliye Faqih, you&#039;re severely misinformed. The ijma of maraja accept the concept of Wilayat-e Faqih. The only topic that is debated is in regard to the limit (hudood) of the Waliye Faqih&#039;s role in society. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Risalahs are not usually written by the marja himself. His students write them, he looks over it, and if it correctly represents his views on fiqhi matters, he authorizes its publication. So by the standard you&#039;ve mentioned, none of the maraja have &quot;written&quot; a risalah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, Ayatollah Khamenei does have a risalah called &quot;Ajwabah al-Istiftaat&quot; which has been published in a host of different languages and is available for download at leader.ir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Your last claim that &quot;Wilayat al-faqih in the Khumaynist conception is far removed from the Ithna &#039;Ashari tradition&quot; really has no substance. It&#039;s difficult to challenge a statement when the person making the statement resorts to ad hominem.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s a very powerful statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claiming that most people of a nation want something (in government or otherwise) requires extensive knowledge regarding the views of all the people you&#039;ve chosen to speak on behalf of. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Statistically speaking, in this case it requires knowing for fact that ~32 million people support the concept of replacing an Islamic Republic with a secular state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your claim is true, kudos to you for conducting the largest opinion poll in human history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Considering you have to be ahlul khibra to even be able to recognize who is and isn&#039;t a marja, I&#039;m wondering how you even came to that conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There a plethora of scholars in and outside of Iran who recognize him to be a mujathid that is jaame sharait for taqlid. Many other ahlul khibra consider him to be most knowledgeable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayatollah Khamenei taught Makasib (advanced hawza studies) at the very young age of 18. Considering the depth of knowledge it takes to teach such a class, not to mention the amount of fiqhi and political knowledge he has gained in the past 51 years, marjaiyah is definitely not beyond him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To those who have taken their dissatisfaction with the turnout of the elections and used it to fuel hate and lies against our ulema, I&#039;d like to humbly remind you that Allah is omnipresent. Lying, deceiving and misleading others are not signs of a true mu&#039;min.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May Allah give us the strength to keep this Ummah united under the leadership of our Waliye Faqih and it&#039;s true owner and inheritor, Imam Mahdi (as)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, a person&#039;s marja has complete right over a person in the sense that they classify what is halal, haraam, mubah, etc for that person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the case of a hukm, the ruling applies the all Muslims (not only followers of that specific marja).]]></description>
