Takfiris Serve Objectives of World Arrogance
Speaking Tuesday at a meeting with participants in the international conference on threats of extremists and Takfiris, Ayatollah Khamenei added that these groups with an Islamic appearance serve the hegemonic powers.
His Eminence referred to attempts to divert attentions from the Islamic Awakening movement and sideline the issue of Palestine as part of the evidence that prove the pro-arrogance agenda of Takfiri groups.
The Supreme Leader noted that the Islamic Awakening was a movement against the US, tyranny and arrogance but the Takfiri current turned this great movement into one of civil war and clashes among Muslim brothers.
Ayatollah Khamenei also said that while the frontline of struggle for Muslims in the region was the occupied Palestine, Takfiris changed the frontline and took it to the streets of Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, and Libya.
His Eminence underscored the significant responsibility of Muslim world scholars in the current conditions and said one of these responsibilities is creating a comprehensive scientific movement to uproot the Takfiri current.
The Supreme Leader added that through this scientific and logical movement, those innocent youth who have been trapped by the Takfiris should be saved.
Ayatollah Khamenei went on to say that it is upon Muslim scholars to shed light on the role of the US, Britain and Zionist regime in the revival of the Takfiri current and to prevent the main issue of the Muslim world, namely the issue of al-Quds and al-Aqsa Mosque, from being neglected.
Prior to the Supreme Leader’s statements, Hojat-ol-Islam Alizadeh Mousavi, secretary of the World Conference on Extremist and Takfiri Movements in Islamic Scholars’ View presented a report on the two-day international event.
He said 315 scholars from different parts of the Muslim world took part in the conference and that 144 selected papers of the international event will be published in Persian and Arabic.
The conference was held in Iran’s central holy city of Qom on Sunday and Monday, November 23-24.
