Takfiris intensifying the disagreements between Shia and Sunni

Taqrib News Agency (TNA), Allama Ibrahim Amin al-Sayed the chairman of the political council and special envoy of Hezbollah secretary general in “World Congress of Extremist and Takfiri Movements in View of Muslim Scholars” which is held in Qom said, "I thank God for giving me the chance to be present in this congress and I thank you and Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi and Sobhani for their innovation and holding of this congress."

"The congress represens the responsibility that Islam has put on Muslims and its aim is to defend Islam. One of the features of this congress is that it is held at the time of war with the phenomenon of Takfiris and extremism," said the religious scholar.

He then explained the dangers of the movement.

"Isis has tried to display the wrong version of Islam. We must know now that their efforts are to distort the true Islam and now it is time to revive the historic role of pure Islam," he underscored.

"We should know that Takfiris try to destroy common values between Muslims and try to fade them out to intensify the disagreements between Shia and Sunni in order to justify the massacre they commit," said the cleric and stressed, "We must know that this congress is important because it aims at revealing the true identity of Takfiri groups and to show the movement led by Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)."

"The Islamic Ummah has valuable goals and they (Takfiris) want to weaken the unity and strength in Muslims. They seek to cross out the true efforts of Muslims under the support of the enemies of Islam. It is a great threat to the Islamic world," he underscored.

He added," There are two movements among Takfiri groups: one calls all other Muslims as Laic while the other movement excommunicates the rest of the Muslims as non-believers so that they can issue the permission for their terrorist crimes."

Takfiris conspire against Islamic Republic of Iran, Palestine and Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. They spread international terrorism and try to sow the seeds of discord between Islamic and Arab countries.

Opposing these movements has to be firm and Islamic in notion. They target all Muslims of the world. All scholars, thinkers, and Islamic centers are responsible for enlightenment. We support Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi’s statements and welcome congresses like this in other parts of the world, reported ABNA.

"We hope to send a clear message of unity through this congress to all Muslims and stress that insulting Islam’s sanctities and family has to become Haram (forbidden) and stood against," the cleric said.
