Akhoond Aboubakr Khojmeli, Imam Jom’a of Negin Shahr, Iran, delivered his speech on the role of clergies to protect peace and avoidance of extremism.

Iranian Imam Jom’a stated that clergies and Ulammas are responsible to meet intellectual, religious and cultural needs of the Islamic society. This is their vital responsibility, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
 
“Based on the realities of the Holy Quran that has always calls people to moderation we can easily understand that Islam is the religion of Moderation” he said.
 
He considered avoidance of insult to sanctities of followers of other religions as another reality of Quran.
 
“The Holy Prophet adds: ‘Be aware that I have already warned against killing of those who say prayers (Namaz)’. If only this quotation is given priority and attention, then many killings and massacres among Muslims will stop and cease to exist” he continued.
