US, West will burn in fire of Muslims’ wrath: Larijani

Iran’s Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has denounced the US-made anti-Islam movie that insults Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), warning that the US and the West will burn in the fire of the Muslims’ wrath if they fail to act properly regarding the film.

“The West and the US should know that they will burn in the fire of the Muslims’ hatred if they do not make a right decision,” Larijani said in an address to a Majlis open session on Sunday.

The film, reportedly funded by Zionist donors, has sparked outrage across the Muslim world.

Larijani added that instead of calling on the Muslims to exercise restraint, the officials of the United Nations should defend the Muslims.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the blasphemous film, calling for calm and restraint.

He stressed that at this time of tensions, there is a need for “dialogue, mutual respect and understanding.”

Larijani further said that the US and the West should know that they won’t have competence for world management with such behavior and their reduced rationality.

He emphasized that the sacrilegious film aims to insult revered Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and questioned Washington’s refusal to punish those behind its production.

Larijani urged the US and the West to “open their eyes” and emphasized that they cannot stop the wrath of the Muslims through threats.

The Iranian Majlis speaker called on international bodies to take a stance and act on the unwise move that has sparked anger among Muslims.

The fury of the Muslim nations over the movie continues in the world with angry protests being held in many Islamic countries.
