Speaking to IQNA, Ayatollah Sheikh Ali Kourani Ameli added that Shia scholars and sources of emulation have condemned the act of insulting the Sahaba.
“We, as followers of the Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS), condemn the act of a so-called Iraqi Shia activist who has insulted the Sahaba, and also condemn terrorist attacks against Iraqi people, especially Shias, by Bandar bin Sultan, head of Saudi Arabia’s secret service.”
He said Iraqi Shia scholars and sources of emulation, especially grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, have issued Fatwas and statements condemning the act of insulting the Sahaba.
“We also call on all Iraqi politicians to denounce this action and refuse to remain silent,” the Lebanese thinker stated.
He urged all cultural organizations and figures to work to inform people about these Fitna-provoking actions.
He also said that the Fitna-provoking actions of the Wahabis should not be ignored either, because they are the main group behind seditions in Iraq.
Ayatollah Sheikh Ali Kourani Ameli confirmed the Fatwa by grand Ayatollah Sistani against desecration of Sunni sanctities and asked the Sunni brothers to denounce the Takfiris’ crimes and the terrorist bombings that target Shia Muslims.
He urged Islamic organizations and Shia and Sunni scholars to take a united stance against the killing of Shias in terrorist bombings orchestrated by Saudi intelligence service.
Ayatollah Kourani Ameli further stressed the need for enhancing Shia-Sunni unity in Iraq and said in order for Shias and Sunnis in Iraq to live peacefully and brotherly, Saudi Arabia’s influence in Iraq should be contained.
