Mamosta Mokhtar Faraji, a prominent Sunni scholar from Kurdistan and the Friday Prayer Leader of the Community Mosque in Sanandaj, on the occasion of Journalists' Day, referring to America's crime of bombing the Radio and Television Center in Kurdistan, described this action as a result of America's fear of anti-arrogance and exposing media, and emphasized that freedom of expression, in America's lexicon, is only defined within the framework of that country's interests.

He also, while appreciating the efforts of Taghrib News Agency, considered its activities insufficient and stressed the need to set long-term goals, pay attention to all dimensions of society's issues, and further enrich this media in line with the realization of the unity of the Islamic Ummah.
Mamosta Mokhtar Faraji, a Sunni scholar from Kurdistan and the Friday Prayer Leader of the Community Mosque in Sanandaj, in an exclusive interview with this news agency on the occasion of Journalists' Day, elaborated on the hidden dimensions of America's crime in bombing the Kurdish media and assessed the performance of Taghrib News Agency in the path of realizing Islamic unity.
American freedom of expression; as long as Washington's interests are secured
The Friday Prayer Leader of the Community Mosque in Sanandaj, referring to the clear contradiction between America's claim of freedom of expression and the bombing of the Radio and Television Center in Kurdistan, stated: "American freedom of expression shows itself when it serves America's interests. America wants a freedom of expression that secures its own interests, considers itself the author of international law, and makes what it legislates the basis for acceptance or rejection."
He added: "The sacred system of the Islamic Republic defines freedom of expression in its true sense and in all its various dimensions, but for the Americans, freedom of expression only goes as far as not jeopardizing Washington's interests."
Mamosta Faraji, analyzing the reason for the bombing of the Kurdistan Radio and Television Center, stated: "The media center of Kurdistan was an anti-arrogance and anti-colonial media that exposed and called people to freedom of belief and expression. America could not tolerate this media, and for this reason, it bombed it during the Ramadan War. This action shows that America only thinks about securing its own interests, and the interests of others are of no value to it."
Taghrib News Agency; valuable efforts but not enough
The Friday Prayer Leader of the Community Mosque in Sanandaj, in the second part of this interview, assessed the performance of Taghrib News Agency and, while appreciating its activities, stated: "Efforts have been made and appropriate actions have been taken, but these actions are not enough and have not been enough."
Emphasizing the necessity of setting long-term goals, he noted: "We need to consider distant horizons with lofty goals, and also pay special attention to beliefs and all the various issues of society."
Mamosta Faraji, referring to the mission of journalists on Journalists' Day, stated: "A journalist is someone who delivers pure and hope-inspiring news to society. The greatest news is the promise of Islam and the success of Islam over global disbelief. Media are a powerful tool for exposing the enemies of Islam and their goals."
He further described Taghrib News Agency as a sacred and vast institution, and said: "Taghrib must be further enriched. The fundamental principle is to create friendship, unity, and alignment among different nations and groups. The main role of rapprochement of schools of thought is to implement strategies and neutralize the cunning and schemes of the enemies."
In conclusion, the Friday Prayer Leader of the Community Mosque in Sanandaj, wishing success for the officials of this media, emphasized: "I hope that Taghrib News Agency, with broader horizons and greater enrichment, can play its main role in realizing the unity of the Islamic Ummah and confronting the conspiracies of the enemies."
