New Delhi: In a bid to garner support of Indian Muslims and present its stand on the ongoing crisis in Iraq, Iranian ambassador to India Ghulam Raza Ansari has invited Urdu journalists for a tete a tete on Thursdayat the Iranian embassy here. Iranian envoy insisted that it is not a war between Shias and Sunnis in Iraq but terrorism. Calling the ISIS fighters as terrorists, Ansari tried to take refuge under Zionist conspiracy theory to justify the Iranian stand on Iraq and Syria which have been turned into killing field by Nouri Malki and Bashaar Al Assad to remain in power. He said that Zionist are trying to weaken the Muslims in the region by dividing them on sectarian lines.
One a question, in a oblique reference to US as the puppet Iraqi regime sought military help from that country, Ihe said there is no need of foreign intervention for resolving the crisis in Iraq. He said it is the duty of all countries of the region to help the beleaguered Iraqi government of Nouri Maliki which won elections recently and it is a democratically elected government. He also praised the Syrian despot Bashaar Al Assad saying he also won the Presidential election with more than 60 percent popular support. ” Syrian election has negated the propaganda of Western countries that it is a conflict between Shia sect and Sunni sect”. He insisted that Syrian problem can be solved through only political dialogue as Iran is saying all along. “Now the Western powers and backers of Syrian opposition have realized this”. By helping ‘terrorists’ in Syria, the US and its allies pushed the country into 50 years back as a survey stated that 200 billion dollar is needed for rebuilding Syria which was virtually ruined at every level.
On present crisis in Iraq, Iran envoy opined that when ‘terrorists’ failed in Syria, they turned to Iraq and with the help of Baath Party’ remnants, they captured some cities in Iraq. When asked how a large number fighters equipped with sophisticated weapons cross-over to Iraq without coming into anyone’s notice ? The Iran envoy admitted that it cannot happen without the help of outside. When asked will Iran extend any military help to embattled Maliki regime, he said “We are ready to help to the Iraqi government if it asked for”. When his attention was drawn towards the fatwas issued by Shia and Sunni for asking youths to join the respective warring groups, he quipped that there is no need of outside help for defending Iraq. He said Ayatullah Sistani and other Ulama have urged the Iraqis to stand unite against the onslaught of ISIS, if 200 thousands Iraqis joined the government forces that is enough to defeat the ISIS. Refuting that Iran is recruiting youths for sending to Iraq, he insisted that Iran is principally against any military intervention in any sovereign country. “Iran is against any outside military intervention in Iraq”. However, he warned that any help to ISIS will harm the interest of region
On a question about the role of Saudi Arabia, Ansari did not utter any harsh word about it saying Saudi Arabia is one of the important country in the region. He said Iran wants to improve relations with Saudi Arabia and good relations between Riyadh and Tehran will have a positive impact on the Middle East situation.
Stay away from evil leaders. Holy Quran talks about only Muslims.
Holy Prophet mohammed (MSAS) said there will be 73 sects among
Muslims & only one group will follow trie Islam & enter Paradise
rest will suffer in hell.
Thank you.
Dear Ahmed from my point of view it will be stupid that we should remain simply Muslim & we don’t seethe difference between Sunni & Shia.
we must look by simply closing our eyes the truth never changes.
Shia are the people who like other religion but they don’t like Sunni Muslim.
If you know the Bashar Al Assad father some decade ago also killed more than fifty thousand in Sunni Muslim in Syria & till now more than 2 lakh Sunni Muslim have been brutally killd by Bashar Al Asad Govt in Syria.
Now in Iraq after Saddam was thrown away by USA Shia have killed scores of Sunni Muslim & it was continued till now.
the Support of ISIS which they got in Sunni Muslim Area is the proof of this.
SO PLEASE DONT SAY ALL MUSLIM ARE SAME & CLOSE YOUR TIME. BRO ALL MUSLIM ARE NOT SAME.
