Massacres will not kill ME revolutions

A senior Iranian cleric highlights the Islamic and popular nature of the recent revolutions in the Middle East region, saying that violence will not stop the uprisings.

Tehran’s interim Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani criticized the policies of the arrogant world in supporting the massacre of innocents in the Middle East, IRNA reported.

The cleric lashed out at Arab states and the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council and said, “Those who are among the Muslim nations, instead of preventing the killing of the Muslim people of Bahrain, Libya, Yemen and other countries and supporting the people, talk nonsense,” he complained.

The senior cleric condemned the silence of Arab leaders on the massacre of the people of regional countries and said their silence shows their desperation and their fall from humanity.

Ayatollah Emami-Kashani also addressed the Western media hype created over the resignation of Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi and his reinstatement by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

“Through such acts they intend to suggest there is division and conflict in the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he said, insisting that the Leader is above all institutions and all are “legally, religiously and morally” obliged to obey him.
