Supporting USA against Iran is a sin

Former head of the "Fatwa" Committee at Al-Azhar Sharif, Sheikh Abdel Hamid Al Atrash, issued a "Fatwa" that the Arab and Islamic countries that cooperate with the U.S. against Iran are "sinful states and committing a crime against Islam".

About the reasons for his fatwa which is published by the "Republic" Egyptian newspaper yesterday, Al-Atrash said: "These countries and their rulers take off the neck of Islam from their necks".

"The rest of Countries should exterminate other countries that help America or Israel to destroy the Islamic states, and this is an obligation on the States, and who share them with silence, is a partner in the sin and injustice".
