Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi, Iranian Shia jurisprudent called Wahhabi groups a threat for the whole world and said both Shia and Sunni communities are among the targets of Wahhabism, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
He hailed Islam as the religion of blessing and privileges for all and expressed regret that the divine religion is misrepresented by extremist Wahhabis as the religion of bloodshed and violence.
Iranian cleric noted that Takfiri (excommunicating) behaviors would turn attractions of Islam into a reason for repulsion and stated while the modern world is ready to embrace Islam, extremist behaviors by Wahhabi groups have intensified Islamophobic efforts.
“Behaviors of Takfiri groups are threatening for the whole world and are not limited to Islamic countries.” Said senior scholar and demanded Muslim clerics not to take silence against Takfiri groups.
He announced that Iran’s holy city of Qom will host Shia and Sunni figures in an international conference on threats of Wahhabism for Muslims and humanity as well as ways to confront the issue.
Senior cleric said extremist Takfiri groups are not brave enough to enter scientific debates rather they are only capable of carrying out suicide attacks and kill the civilians.
Religious figure reiterated that the only aim is to confront minor excommunicating Wahhabis while Shia clerics develop close ties with Sunni scholars.
Shia jurisprudent vowed that he would join Sunni scholars to confront extremist groups and show the true kind face of Islam to the world.
Iranian cleric also touched upon the issue of Nikah Jihad (sex jihad) in Syria calling that a great shame by Wahhabis and urged Muslim communities and clerics not to take a neutral stance against these measures.
According to Ayatollah Makarem Muslims have to protect each other and excommunication of other Muslims is in full contrast with lifestyle and teachings of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
