Syria’s Mufti Meets Scholars.. Honors Families of Syrian Army Martyrs in Lattakia

Syria’s Grand Mufti, Ahmad Badr al-Din Hassoun on Wednesday called on the Syrian people to adhere to national unity and cohesion to face the Takfiri methodology circulated by enemies of the nation.

“The Syrian people are paying the price of their rejection of a plot to divide their country and shift it to a new Somalia or Benghazi where the brother kills his brother.. Each mosque and church has big responsibility to bury the seditions,” the Mufti said during a meeting with a number of scholars and clergymen in Lattakia.

He called on the religious institution in the country to immediately move and talk to those who were misled and carried a weapon to convince him to dismiss the violence and resort to dialogue.

Later, the Mufti honored 52 families of the martyrs in Lattakia, pointing out that the Syrians throughout history were not intimidated by occupiers as they didn’t allow anyone to desecrate their land.

He appreciated Lattakia governorate’s hosting of those who were obliged by the armed terrorist groups to leave their homes.

“Freedom won’t be realized through killing others, but through keeping the homeland, dignity,” the Mufti said, calling the bearers of weapons to return to the right path.
