"Islamic revolution of Iran not only belongs to Muslims but also belongs to all non-Muslims," he told Qodsna.

"Former Iranian regime of 'Shah' was one of the supporters of Israel in Middle East and always followed U.S-Israeli policies, so as Iranian people who were under oppression rose up led by Imam Khomeini to stage a revolution in order to uproot oppressions and bring justice in the region," Takim added.

"Muslims in my country in Tanzania, now, by modeling Iran's revolution, are studying Islamic principals especially Hijab," he added.
