Lebanese scholar hails support of Gen. Soleimani for all religious groups

Sheikh Zuhair Juaid, from Lebanon's Islamic Action Front noted that the assassinated Iranian commander was in pursuit of honor and victory for the entire Islamic nation and did not differentiate between the religions or Islamic denominations, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He said," The man we know for his struggle, forgiveness and devotion has in fact sacrificed his life in path of the Almighty God to earn victory and honor in return."

The cleric highlighted the affection and loyalty of General Soleimani for the Palestine, al-Quds and the Islamic sanctities and noted," Although Palestinians are Sunni Muslims, different from the Shia commander, General Soleimani did not differentiate between them and Lebanon's Shia resistance movement."

He referred to the Secretary General of Hezbollah hailing the supportive stance of General Soleimani for the Lebanese movement and his key role in victory of resistance and withdrawal of the Zionists from Lebanese territories.

"General Soleimani sacrificed his life for the Islamic unity and for foiling the American-Zionist plots in the region" noted Sheikh Zuhair Juaid and highlighted the support of assassinated IRGC commander for solidarity in the Islamic nation as well as his indiscriminate view on Shia and Sunni Muslims.

Top Lebanese cleric made the remarks in the international webinar held by Iran's World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought on Sunday concurrent with the first martyrdom anniversary of General Qassem Soleimani, commander of IRGC Quds Force and Abu Mahdi Muhandes, deputy of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Committee assassinated by US drone attack near Baghdad Airport.
