It is very difficult to accept that a person with an average intellectual capacity would read the material and the stuff that are provided by the Takfiri movements and get drawn to it based on religious inclinations.
We are hopeful that the excellent way of life of the Messenger of Allah (s) becomes an exemplar for all the Muslims and the focus of the ambition of all the Muslim scholars and thinkers of the world.
The duty that we the Islamic scholars of all the Islamic sects have is to come hand in hand and do something that the root of these deviant thoughts is burnt through logical and intellectual demonstration.
The second congress on “Extremism and Takfiri Movements in Today’s world” will focus on the responsibilities of the Muslim scholars regarding the problem of extremism. Many Muslim scholars and intellectuals from Iran and various Muslim countries, along with the ambassadors of different Muslim countries, will participate in this congress, which will be held under the supervision of Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi in the holy city of Qom.
The world knows that the innocent people of Yemen have been harshly oppressed by the Saudi invaders. However, the Saudis’ petrodollars have influenced and silenced the political leaders of the world as well as the responsible international organizations.
The bloodthirsty Saudi regime should also know that the barbaric act of the execution of Shaykh Al Nimr will incur such a heavy cost that they could not even Imagine. They will, then, see for themselves the wrath of Allah (swt) being sent down on them and it will crush them along with all other murderers who have assist them.
We have enemies who seek to hinder our progress and the spread of Islam in the world, but they will not succeed in doing so.
Shaykh Al Nimr never took up arms; his weapon was his knowledge. The way the Saudis beheaded Shaykh Al Nimr and then hanged his headless body is the exact same thing that the ISIS, terrorists, do.
Takfiris spill the blood of Muslims and destroy the infrastructures of Muslim countries. The enemies have pitted Muslims against one another, and now they are watching this and enjoy it.
We strongly condemn this horrific crime and we have no doubt that these innocent bloods will be avenged. We also believe that this atrocity has been committed as an act of vengeance and to make up for the abject failure of the Saudis in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.
I have always been optimistic about you and so I hope that you will firmly stand up against this deviation. Such deviations can cause the al- Azhar to fall prey to the evil plots of the enemies of Islam and those of the Wahhabis and Takfiris. The Wahhabis and Takfiris seek only to spread divisiveness among Muslims and so I hope that you will stop them before they can carry out their evil plans and take you away from the path of moderation.
Referring to the danger posed by the Takfir groups to the entire Muslim world, Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi stated that the complete eradication of this danger is possible only through intellectual and scientific confrontation with the Takfir ideology and that this requires a more active role to be played by mass media in this regard.
Takfirism originates from a distorted and deviated school of thought. It is the responsibility of the Muslim scholars to eradicate the roots of this kind of ideology.
The Shaikh of al-Azhar, who is usually a moderate person and who has an inclination towards the unity of Muslims, has recently given a fierce speech in condemnation of Shia Muslims. He has also stated that, this speech had been in reaction to some TV channels which vilify the sanctities of other Muslim schools.
If someone looks from the outside, the group that believes in reason is more acceptable. At the same time, the Qur’an is for those whom have reason, 70 verses of the book are about the people of reason.
We are not against technology however western technologies are like muddy unhygienic water. Water is the source of life yet when it is dirty it must be refined.
Recently some Vatican officials asked the Islamic scholars to express their opinions regarding the barbaric attacks by TakfiriISIL group against the Christians and other religious minorities in northern Iraq.

Despite all calamities the war on Gaza caused for the Muslim world and Humanity, it however, entailed a number positive out-turns; it, more than anytime, awakened the conscience of the world against
the occupier Israel. This war also totally took away the trust the world had in international organizations and the claimers of human rights.
Undoubtedly the only way to protect the country from secession and to kick out the barbaric bloodthirsty enemy is to reach a national unity which of course is to be gained through sacrifice, self-restraint of all political parties and paying heed to their responsibility towards God in such critical moment.
The Islamic World is experiencing one of its most critical situations in its 1400-year-old history. The enemies of Islam, in all Muslim countries, have set the fire of war between Muslim brothers as the blood of Muslims is shed by people who pretend to be Muslims.”
A sympathy and passion has spread throughout the world against the aggressive, atrocious Israeli regime and in spite of the deadly silence of Israel’s supporters as well as some of the Arab leaders, the outreaching flood of protesting people against Israel, condemning the killing of the defenseless civilians.
We warn the Saudi officials that such extreme actions will seriously hurt the feelings of Shias all around the world and shall have negative consequences.
These Takfiri terrorists and their supporters must know that if needed millions of people from other countries will march towards Iraq, just like the way they do on the Commemoration of Arba‘in, and j o i n the Iraqi nation and will help the brave army of Iraq.
I urge international organizations as well as religious leaders all around the globe to denounce the recent terrorist attacks on Iraq and take a serious measure for stopping their supporters from backing them financially and logistically otherwise this fire will burn up the whole region and even will reach to the western countries.
Our country was under the hegemony of oppressors and no one would believe that we could free ourselves, however Imam Khumaini (r) decided to make a move, therefore, trusting in God and being supported by people, he managed to succeed.
