The new wave of hatred of Iranian Sunni clerics against Saudi Arabia’s crime in Yemen’s Mocha

Following the air strikes of Saudi Arabia‘s criminal regime to residential and non-residential regions of Yemen, Saudi Arabia’s coward and aggressive attack was this time aimed at the defenseless citizens of Mocha who are mostly Sunni Muslims, resulting in the martyrdom of more than of 200 innocents. Following this brutal and inhuman invasion Of Saudi Arabia’s regime, the Iranian Sunni clerics of different regions reacted to this crime and condemned it. Therefore, the planning council secretariat of Sunni seminaries in Iran has reflected the viewpoints of Iranian Sunni clerics on this attack in an exclusive report which are noted in the following:

The secretariat statement of Sunni religious school planning council following the recent crimes of the Saudis’ regime.

In the name of Allah the compassionate the merciful

Once again the Satan’s criminal hands came out the Saudis’ sleeves and in a new cruelty; they slaughtered a group of the Islamic Ummah. Bombardments by Saudi fighters and widespread slaughter of defenseless people of Mocha city in the Yemeni province of Taiz, was added to the former scandals of Saudis’ regime and another stain of infamy stamped on its forehead. Surprisingly the crimes of Al Saud regime are very similar to those of Zionists. Both of them are infanticide, both destroy houses of Muslims, both are aggressor and commit brutal crimes. That one in Ghana, Lebanon and this one, after 20 years, in the residential Yemeni city of Mocha. It seems that they are competing in the field of cruelty against Muslims. Undoubtedly although regime of Saudi Arabia tries to cover up these war crimes and international scandal and also try to take public attentions away from this terrible massacre by fake ceasefires, killing oppressed Muslims of Mocha city who were dear Sunni people, will make it easier the destruction of this sinister government’s palace of oppression. The secretariat of Sunni religious school planning council, in addition to congratulating and offering condolence to the family of the martyrs of Mocha as well as condemnation of this apparent Muslim killing and asking for consideration of this obvious crime and rare inhuman oppression at seeming human rights groups, ask scholars, Friday imams and liturgists, administrators and teachers of Sunni seminaries to scandalize this family and uncover their Zionist-like crimes through mosque trenches, rostrums and circles and make the Islamic Ummah familiar with brutality and Muslim killing of this seeming servants of two holy Shrines. Maybe the prayers of oppressed people being answered by God and Islam world can see the formation of unique Nation and the destruction and vanishing of Global arrogance and governors dependent on atheism as soon as possible. God willing The Public Relations Department of office of the Supreme Leader in the Sunni affairs of Hormozgan province, in an interview with the Friday Imam of Lashtghan Bandar Khamir

(The Friday Imam of Lashtghan called the Saudis attacks in contrast to any religious and ethical understanding)

The Friday Imam of Lashtghan condemned the Saudi attacks and bombings in Mocha, Yemen and called it in contrast to any religious and ethical understanding and prayed the highest spiritual ranks for those who lost their lives in these attacks. The Declaration of Ifta panel and council of replying to juridical issues of Bushehr province's Sunni people

These brutal actions are condemned by all of the Shia and Sunni Muslims

In the name of Allah the compassionate the merciful

We consider the brutal and inhuman actions of Saudi Arabia for inciting any kind of sedition and slaughter of innocent Muslims as sinister plans of western criminals and Zionism with the leading of bloody US and implementing its plans. These actions were not and are not relevant to the Islam and some Muslims have become puppets for the enemies of Quran and Sunnah thus to commit inhuman crime is easy for them. We Community of Sunni people in Bushehr province condemn these recent brutal actions of Saudi Arabia in slaughtering and bombardments of Mocha city, Yemen which resulted in 200 Muslim peoples being killed as well as intimidation of faithful Yemeni people and killing women and children and recommend patience and perseverance against all of problems to the people of Yemen. These brutal actions not only are condemned by all of Shia and Sunni people, but all of free people of the world would condemn these inhuman actions. We together with Friday Imams and liturgists of the country call this Friday "Black Friday" and ask Friday Imams to devote their sermon to this issue. Haj Mamousta Molla Toufigh Ghorbani, Friday Imam of Kamyaran district

This brutal slaughter of defenseless and oppressed people neither is legal nor do the Quranic and human conscience accept it

We also condemn this attack of Saudi regime on Yemen. Airplanes of Saudi Bombarded a city in Yemen called Mocha and killed 200 of them which all of its population are Sunni. We condemn such a brutal operation. This brutal slaughter of defenseless and oppressed people neither is legal nor do the Quranic and human conscience accept it and these are against human rights. Animal rights are approved by foreign countries, but why Muslims of Yemen and other countries are not so valuable for human rights organizations and they only suffice to condole.

Mamousta Siyyid Ahmad Sajjadi, Friday imam of Sarvabad district Saudi Arabia is the offspring of the US and takes steps by its command

We Friday imams of Kurdistan province condemn the crimes of Saudi in attacking on Yemen. Our Holy Prophet (Pbuh) liked people of Yemen and prayed for them, but Saudi killed 200 of Sunni brothers of Mocha city, Yemen in recent days and they are killing innocent people. Is this true Islam? Saudi is the offspring of the US and takes steps by its command. They kill defenseless women and children and don’t have mercy on them. May the Holy Prophet exterminate and remove you. Abdolvahhab killed over 40,000 of innocent women and children and God removed him. Saudis! You are not Muslims and these actions are done by Jews. If you are Muslim, then why are you ally of Israel and the US? Why are you fighting against Yemen and have massacred 200 of innocent Muslims? Is that action of a Muslim? We condemn it again. As God is witness, if I could handle an airplane I would ride it and would crash it to Riyadh, because bombardment is ordered from that place. One of the Yemen’ glories was that it had had several companions of our Holy Prophet (Pbuh) in it. How long are you going to deceive people? How long do you want to deceive Muslims? How long are you continuing polytheism? Imam Shafii said: everyone who says “No God but Allah” is a Muslim and not a polytheist. The Quranic Islam isn’t like that and your Islam is not related to the Quran and the holy Quran doesn’t accept it.

Mamousta siyyid Amjad Ghazaei, temporary Friday Imam of Divan Darih district We strongly condemn this slaughter

We offer our condolences on bombardment of the city of mocha, Yemen by warplanes of Saudi Arabia regime which resulted in 200 of Sunni brothers being killed and we condemn this slaughter in which children, the olds and the youths as well as the national wealth have been destroyed. Mamusta Rostami, Friday Imam of Marivan district

We condemn this crime of Saudis regime and offer our condolences to the families of victims.

In the past week which was called Black Friday, a brutal and inhuman crime occurred against the defenseless Sunni people of Mocha, Yemen in which 200 of women and men were killed. We and every Muslim condemn this crime of Saudi regime and offer our condolences to families of victims and all of Muslims.

Mawlawi Abdol Bari Salehi

(The manager of Taybad's Mazhar Al- Tohid theological school (seminary school) The Saudis seek to accomplish Muslim genocide and destroy our assets by destruction of Muslim religious sites and also healthcare and therapeutic centers.

Mawlawi Abdul Bari condemned Saudi Arabia's attack on Yemeni's town of Mocha and asserted that Once again, opportunistic and self-interested agents of imperialist have appeared on the scene of Islamic countries and have martyred a large number of Muslims in Mocha by bombardment.

He added that Jews and their criminal allies have created divisions among Muslim countries and communities which led to the deaths of many Muslims in Islamic countries such as Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, and Iraq. These criminals and the Saudis seek to accomplish Muslim genocide and destroy our assets by destruction of Muslim religious sites and also healthcare and therapeutic centers.

Mawlawi Salehi concluded that we, seminary students and teachers of Taybad's Mazhar Tohid theological school condemn this crime and declare that the Islamic countries and their leaders must take positive steps for the revival of Islam and Muslim unity. They must not destroy Muslims' assets and kill the children and execute the scenario of destroying Islam. Mawlawi Ahmad Sheikh Ahmadi

(The Sunni Friday Imam of Bakharz)

The sunny community of Bakharz condemns the killings of two hundred Muslims in the Yemenis town of Mocha.

Mawlawi Sheikh Ahmad condemned Saudi Arabia's attack on Yemeni's town of Mocha in a statement.

The full text of the statement is as follows:

In the Name of Allah

Since the very beginning of Islam, those who were looking for wealth and oppression and their interests were in conflict with the progress of Islam fought against God's religion in every possible way; however, since pious men were the leaders of the Islamic community, they did not allow for any violation to enemies.

Nowadays due to the dependence of most Islamic countries leaders to the global imperialism and the separation of such leaders from Muslim nations, they see the continuity of their power in submission to the enemies of Islam. And they don't refrain from any aggression against the neighboring nations and their co- religionists in the course.

The sunny community of Bakharz condemns the killings of two hundred Muslims in the Yemenis town of Mocha and wants the international community not to give up any attempts to prevent the repetition of such happenings. Mawlawi (top Sunni scholar) Qolam Ahamad Ali Bayi

(Mashhar Rizeh's Friday prayer Imam.)

Killing our brothers and sisters in Yemen is a sign of weakness and failure of oppressors against the Islamic greatness.

The attack of Saudi Arabia to Yemen's town of Mocha was condemned in a statement by Ahmad Ali Bayi.

The full text of the statement is as follows:

The enemies of Islam, such as usurper regime of Israel and the bloodthirsty government of the U.S., always seek to annihilate Islamic community. They provoke Muslims against each other. The raid of Saudi Arabia against Yemen, and war and bloodshed in other countries are in keeping with the projects of the world imperialists aimed at promoting Islamophobia so that they can create conflict and separation among Muslims.

While Islam is the religion of mercy and affection and the teachings of Islam are in conflict with war and bloodshed, murder and plunder, genocide, oppression and crime, the inhuman invasion to Mocha in Yemen by Saudi Arabia cannot be explained for the countries that ascribe Islam the religion of violence.

The attack of Saudi Arabia against Yemen and the town of Mocha misrepresented the compassionate image of Islam and depicted Islam as violent.

It is the duty of all Muslims to defend each other's rights and prevent these violations, Regarding the Islamic law instructions, if a Muslim is oppressed and his rights are violated anywhere in the world. The leaders of Islamic countries should be united and unified and stand against the bloodthirsty government of the U.S. and defend the rights of Islamic community against oppressors and aggressors; however, unfortunately we see nowadays that a number of the leaders of Islamic countries take their orders from world imperialists and kill their Muslim brothers in the name of religion. The killing of our Muslim brothers and sisters in Yemen is a sign of weakness and failure of oppressors against the Islamic greatness.

Therefore, while condemning these attacks, I ask Muslim Ulama (clerics) to adopt a clear stance in order to establish world peace and settle disputes and bring about a peaceful solution and I pray to God for peace, dignity and unity of all Muslims throughout the world.

Mawlawi Sharafoddin Haji Alahmadi (The Sunni Friday Imam of Torbat Jam)

The Shiite and Sunni make no difference to us. Cruelty to any human being is condemned in any religion. And those who are the perpetrators of these crimes must be punished so that others can learn a lesson from it.

Haji Alahmadi, Sunni Friday Imam of Torbat Jam, in an interview with the reporter of the Supreme Leader's office in Khorasan's Sunni affairs has expressed his viewpoint concerning Saudi Arabia's recent crime in Yemeni's town of Mocha. He also condemned Saudi Arabia for the killing of more than 200 Sunnis in the town of Mocha and asserted that once again, Saudi fighters attacked Yemeni's civilians in the city of Mocha last friday night and repeated their crime patterns.

He pointed out to the 76th verse of Al-Zukhruf sura of Quran

﴾و ما ظل مناه م و لککي ن کان وا ه م الظاالي يم ين ﴿الزخرف ، 76

Nowise shall We be unjust to them: but it is they who have been unjust themselves.

and maintained that the Saudis are the true manifestation of cruelty due to these crimes and must be held accountable for their actions.

He said that the governments that do not recognize god's status and theirs, and do not analyze the condition and all their aims are limited to worldliness do not hesitate any cruelty against other human beings. Their goal is to benefit the most from this world and to gain power through it despite shedding a lot of blood, and the violating a lot of people's rights.

The Sunni Friday Imam of Torbat Jam stated that the Sunni condemns any violence and crime against humanity and also said uunfortunately, the crimes of the Saudis and the Takfirists exacerbate Islam phobia and show everyone seeking truth, an ugly face of it.

He noted that oppression is as devastating as an earthquake and those who oppress others were rejected, condemned and cursed by humans throughout history. And today that the Saudis committed these crimes to the oppressed and innocent people of Yemen will be recorded in history, so an unpleasant memory and a mark of disgrace will be recorded from them in the history Muslim world. And he ended by saying that the Shiite and Sunni make no difference to us. Cruelty to any human being is condemned in any religion. And those who are the perpetrators of these crimes must be punished so that others can learn a lesson from it.

Mawlawi Tavakoli

(The Sunni Friday Imam of Taybad)

Saudi crimes are similar to those of the Zionist regime of Israel

Mawlawi Tavakoli condemned Saudi Arabia's bloodshed and killings of more than 200 Sunni in the Yemeni's city of Mocha and stated that Islam places great Value on humans and any encroachments on life, property and dignity of man is haram (forbidden by Islam), whether Shia or Sunni. He added that the wrong policies of Saudi Arabia in killing the oppressed people of Yemen will lead to nowhere.

He asserted that Saudi crimes are similar to those of the Zionist regime of Israel and the killing of 200 people in Mocha will remain as a sign of disgrace in the heinous regime Of Saudi Arabia.

He said that mankind holds a valuable position in all schools of thought and religions and pointed out that human dignity should not be violated because Almighty God, thanks to his grace, has granted inherent dignity to humans and tyrants who violate these rights should be held accountable before God.

One of the Sunni clerics of Kermanshah in an interview with the reporter of the Supreme Leader's office in the Sunni affairs of Kermanshah province

The shameless, unabashed Saudis want to prove their sincerity to their American and Israeli masters through infanticide, murder, crime. Mullah Yahya Shahbazi, one of the Sunni clerics of Kermanshah, pointed out to the recent crimes of the Saudi regime in murdering the Sunnis of Yemen. The genocide of the Yemenis has hurt the heart of every human being since the traitors present in Bilad e Haramen (The land of holy shrines) who have treacherously called themselves the servants of the shrines began to murder the innocent, oppressed people of Yemen during these months which are considered as the sacred months of the year.

Mullah Yahya Shahbazi said that these shameless, unabashed Saudis want to prove their sincerity to their American and Israeli masters through infanticide, murder, crime in order to guarantee the survival of their oppressive government and their tyrannical reign.

He added that we will all surely see the victory of the Yemenis. War and bloodshed in this country by the bloodthirsty regime of the Saudi Arabia are all signs of the weaknesses of the country and their dishonest claims in favor of the Muslim world. The hearts of all noble Muslims whether Shia or Sunni is sympathetic to all Muslim and the innocent people of Yemen by now and the Islamic teachings tell us that there is no difference between Muslims and the murder of any Muslim is prohibited in any form.

Shahbazi maintained that the genocide of Muslims is definitely in line with America and Israel's evil plans and on behalf of the Sunni cleric council and all free and revolutionary people of Iran declared that Iranians have supported and backed their innocent and oppressed brothers in Yemen and they always will and they are always proud of it and they will never cease to perform their ethnical and religious duties. This Sunni cleric referred to the long silence of Arab countries regarding the Muslim genocide in Yemen and said we want all Arab countries to take side with Iran and call the whole international community to assist the Yemenis and to play a major role in fighting against the oppressors in this devastating war.

He ended by saying that we, Muslim people of Iran, keep praying to God besides helping the innocent, oppressed people of the region; may God grant patience to these oppressed, innocent people and may the governments in the countries of the region be committed to the commands of Islam. May anyone who cruelly sheds the blood of our brothers, sisters, children, and parents in Yemen be destroyed in no time and may the victory of the people of Yemen happen as soon as possible.

Public relations' report of supreme leader's representative office in the Sunni affairs of Hormozgan

Saudis' attack and bombing in the city of Mocha in Yemen is condemned and this behavior in contrast to religion Sheikh Rezwani's Friday Prayers sermons were about perseverance in action. He recognized perseverance the only way to be effective in Islamic individual and social life and said that the primary means of perseverance are praying, being committed to it, and taking steps through life. The Prophet Muhammad performed the prayer and tried to calm himself down through it whenever he was in trouble.

He considers holding tongue as the second element of resistance and perseverance and believes that it is one of the most important organs of the body affecting the behavior, thoughts and the character. According to a hadith narrated by the prophet, that Faith is right which is through heartfelt reception and keeping one's faith is possible only through honesty and holding tongue.

The third thing which must be called to attention in perseverance in adversity is commitment to the rules of religion. The fourth element is the continuity in doing good and humane works and having a plan for doing them at the same time. They asked the prophet, what is more honored with God? And he replied that whatever lasts longer no matter how small it is.

He ended by saying that the best product of perseverance is peace that the man achieves in this life and the time of death.

According to the public relations' report of supreme leader's representative office in the Sunni affairs of Hormozgan, the Friday Imam of Bandar Lashtghan khamir condemned Saudis' attack and bombing in the city of Mocha in Yemen and announced this behavior in contrast to religion during the interview and prayed for the highest spiritual rank for those who have lost their lives in the attack. Sunny Friday Imam of Sarpol Zahab in an interview with supreme leader’s office in Kermanshah’s Sunni affairs

The government who has introduced itself as the protector of Islam and the land of holy shrines has now set to annihilate another Islamic government and this is precisely in keeping with the policies of the U.S. and Israel.

Mamousta Sanaei pointed out to the recent criminal acts of Saudi Arabia in Yemen and the killing of Sunni Muslims in this country and asserted that all Sunni ulama (clerics) initially condemn these bloody events and deprecate this event as a big crime committed against the Islamic Ummah (community.)

He added that the Saudis call their government as the protector of Islam and the land of holy shrines but have now set to annihilate another Islamic government and this is precisely in keeping with the policies of the U.S. and Israel and is advantageous to them.

He also states that these movements by the Saudis are advantageous to the U.S. and Israel and we strongly oppose them because Muslim genocide, Both Shias and Sunnis, is heinous and haram (forbidden) and we will remember these movements as a big crime in mind. He underlined the widespread criminal acts of the Saudis against Muslims of Yemen and stated that the end of this war brings about nothing but failure of the Saudis since the Saudis are now following the footsteps of the U.S. and Israel interests.

He concluded that Yemen’s infrastructures have been destroyed during the more than one hundred-day war and we will continue to note these Saudis’ crimes in the Friday prayers since a seemingly Islamic government is committing these actions.

In the Name of Allah I condemn the cruel and painful attack of Saudi Arabia's regime to Mocha in Yemen which led to the martyrdom of 200 Sunnis and call this friday along with the rest of Iran's Sunni community The Black Friday.

Sheikh Hasan Bazdar

(The Sunni Friday Imam of Gawdah and interim Friday prayer of Bank and a member of Bushehr's clergy council)

Saudi’s attacks in Yemen will not bring about any outcome other than increase in terrorism in the region.

In the Name of Allah

Following Saudi Arabia's air strikes to residential and non-residential regions in Yemen, the pugnacious regime this time cowardly attacked the civilians in Yemeni's city of Mocha, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 200 innocents in this town. We have seen the suppression of the Muslim nation of Yemen and the silence of the international community in this regard in the last few months; these attacks will not bring about any outcome other than increase in terrorism in the region.

We condemn these attacks and call for a clear stance from world leaders to achieve world peace and settle disputes and find a peaceful solution.

We pray to Almighty God for peace and tranquility, dignity and unity among all the peoples in the Muslim world.

Sheikh Hosein Afruz's interview

Nowadays, we see some people who have humiliated themselves and receive orders from imperialism and slaughter their Muslim brothers in the name of Islam.

In the Name of Allah

Hail to the spirits of Imam (Ayatollah Khomeini) and the martyrs of the Islamic Revolution. I pray to God for a dignified and healthy life for the supreme leader. ‌ ل يتا يخذي ال مؤ يمن ون ال کافيري ين أو ليياء يم ن د يون ال مؤ يمني ين و م ن ي فع ل ‌ ذکليک فلي س يم ن اللاهي فيي ش يء إيل ا أ ن تتا قوا يمن ه م ت قاة و ي حذر رک م ﴾اللا ه ن ف س ه و إيلى اللاهي ال م يص ير ﴿ آل عمران، 28 Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them.

And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path.

If Muslims are oppressed anywhere in the world and their rights are violated, it is the duty of all Muslims to defend each other's rights and prevent these violations. Nowadays, we see some people who have humiliated themselves and receive orders from imperialism and slaughter their Muslim brothers in the name of Islam; these groups are far from God's mercy. Wherever there is unjustified bloodshed of a Muslim, whether Shia or Sunni who are both our Muslim brothers, it is our responsibility to defend them to the last drops of our blood.

We strongly condemn all these crimes, killings, and bloodshed whether in Yemen or other Islamic nations and aggressors have committed the biggest crime.

Sheikh Jasem Ibn Hajar

(The Friday Imam of Shif's Grand Mosque of Khatam Al- Anbia)

Saudi Arabia and its allies attacked, bombarded and massacred innocents in Mocha

In the name of God

Following the crisis in Yemen in which Saudi Arabia and his allies attacked and bombarded residential and non-residential regions in different cities of Yemen, Saudi Arabia this time attacked and massacred innocents in Mocha and martyred many people in this city which I strongly condemn. Sheikh Khalil Afra's statement

(The Sunni Friday Imam of Kangan and a member of the Sunni planning council of Seminaries)

Saudi Arabia's recent invasion of Mocha distorted the beautiful face of Islam and introduced a violent face of it to the world.

In the Name of Allah

Islam is the religion of kindness and affection. The cruel and inhumane invasion of Mocha, Yemen by Saudi Arabia cannot be justified for the nations and the states that assume that Islam is a religion of violence while it is actually the religion of kindness and affection.

Saudi Arabia's recent invasion of Mocha in Yemen led to the martyrdom of 200 Muslim people distorted the beautiful face of Islam and introduced a violent face of it to the world. The Killing of our brothers in Yemen is a sign of weakness and the inability of the imperialism against the grandeur of Islam. The enemies of Islam such as the usurper regime of Israel and the cruel regime of America have always thought about ways to destroy and put an end to the Muslim Ummah (community). They provoke Muslims against each other. Saudi attacks and the invasion of Muslims and Islamic nations against each other are examples of such practices.

The global imperialism aims to promote Islamophobia and to reach this goal, they planned the Saudis' attack against the people in Yemen to create conflicts and intense battles among Muslims. All leaders of the Islamic countries must unite and stand against the cruel and usurper regime of America, today and must try to defend the rights of the Islamic nation against bullying powers and aggressors. ‌ ‌ يا أيهها الاذي ين آمن وا إي ن تن ص روا اللا ه ين ص رک م و ي ثبر ت أق د امک م ﴿ ﴾محمد، 7

O ye who believe! If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly.

We condemn the violence and crimes against the city of Mocha in Yemen and we pray may God unite all Muslims without any bloodshed and by saving their lives and properties. The Statement of supreme leader's office in the affairs of Sunnis and Kermanshah's Sunni clergies

The attacks of the Saudis against the defenseless people of Yemen and bombardment of Mocha resulted in martyrdom of more than 200 Sunni brothers.

In the Name of Allah ‌ م ح امد ر س ول اللاهي و الاذي ين مع ه أ يشدااء على ال ک فااري ر حماء بي نه م ت راه م رکاعا س اجدا يب تغ ون ف ضل مي ن اللاهي و ري ضوانا سي يماه م فيي ‌ و جوهيهي م يم ن أثري هالس جودي ذکليک مثله م فيي التاو راةي و مثله م فيي ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ال ين يج ييل ک ز ر ع أ خ ر ج شطأه ف آز ره ف استغ لظ ف استوى عل ى سوقيهي ا ا ي ع يج ب هالز اراع لييغييظ بيهي م الک فاار وعد الل ه ال ذي ين آمن وا و ع يمل وا ‌ ﴾ االصالي ح يات يمن ه م مغ يف رة و أ جرا عظييما ﴿الفتح ، 29 Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.

An unjust killing of a Muslim is truly less bearable that the destruction of the whole world (SunanTirmithi, H. 1395).

The savage and the bloodthirsty regime of Saudis displayed his savage character by removing his paper mask recently. There is no man who does not condemn the crimes committed by these traitors of the two holy shrines. There is definitely not one man in the world that sees the war crimes and not be disgusted by its agents. The brutal attack of the Saudis to one of the Sunni cities of Yemen proved the truth of the Sunni scholars' sayings of Kermanshah once again. These criminals are neither the servants of the Sunnis nor the followers of Islam. And it proved all the former sayings of the religious scholars of Kermanshah stressing the unfair invasion of Yemen by the Saudis is not because of a particular individual support but because of allegiance to America to continue Muslim genocide in this part of the middle east on their behalf.

Today is the day that the Muslim world is mostly in need of unity and cooperation but the air strikes and the military actions against a neighboring Muslim country is unwisely and harmful and is merely in keeping with the interests of imperialism and Zionism and disadvantageous to the Islamic nations and Muslims' unity.

Unfortunately, once again the attacks of the Saudis against the defenseless people of Yemen and bombardment of Mocha resulted in martyrdom of more than 200 Sunni brothers.

Sunni Ulama (scholars) and clergies of Kermanshah announce that protection of Muslims' life and property is a religious obligation and any violation of life and property of Muslim brothers and sisters is condemned. Therefore, we condemn this cowardly act which is contrary to all Islamic and humanitarian norms and call for unity and solidarity in the Islamic community, the only way to achieve Muslim dignity and pride.

The Cleric Hushmand

(The Sunni Imam of Friday prayers in Incheboron, Golestan province, Iran)

Saudis have always committed a crime and are still seeking to create fitna in collaboration with America and Israel

The Sunni Imam of Friday prayers in Incheboron referred to the verses of Quran and asserted that fitna and rabblerousing is considered as an evil act and whom he creates fitna, this obnoxious behavior, not only harms himself but the whole people.

He also added that the Saudis have always committed a crime and are still seeking to create fitna in collaboration with America and Israel and by the bombardment of cities and houses have shed blood of so many Muslims. Therefore, we strongly condemn this crime. The Friday imam of Asgaleh

We were unhappy from the very first day that the Saudis invaded Yemen and condemned this invasion in the first place

Mullah Mohammad Barat, the Friday Imam of the border town of Asgaleh condemns the recent killings of the Saudis in Yemen, and said that it has to be said according to the verse of the Quran if one turns his back to the extent that God has established and violates that violates those limits is considered as an oppressor.

He also added that oppression is indeed a social disease and must be eradicated and pose a danger to all humanity. And the Quran awakens us to see the truth and it says that try to stay away from that Fitna that will burn everyone with its flames of fire.

He defended the oppressed people in Yemen and added that we will defend Yemen not just because two hundred people of the Sunnis were killed by the bloodthirsty Saudis. But we were unhappy from the very first day that the Saudis invaded Yemen and condemned this invasion in the first place. Because if, God forbid, these cruelties and war crimes supports an oppressive government, all people, then all the people will experience cruelty and hatred and aggression.

This Sunni scholar stated that we really appreciate our country, Iran that didn't let the memories our Sunni Yemenis brothers be forgotten by calling it Black Friday. And we support our Shia Sunni brothers in Yemen. We should stand against any cruelty to any Muslims. And there is basically no difference between the Shia and the Sunnis.

He concluded that the recent invasion of the Saudis caused outrage among all Muslims and we condemn these crimes and it must be said that America and Israel are behind the scenes of all these crimes. Many Muslim men and women and children are killed which is violating the limits established by God. We condemn these war crimes and May God cut their hands short of Islamic lands and may He restore safety to all Muslim countries.

The Friday imams and liturgists, council of the religious statements and clergy of Kurdistan province

This crime shows brutality of Saudi’s regime and its allies. Undoubtedly these brutal and inhuman crimes against defenseless Sunni people of Mocha in Yemen which resulted in killing of over 200 dear Sunni people shows brutality of Saudi’s and its allies. We Friday Imams and clergy councils of Kurdistan province strongly condemn this action of Saudi regime and their lords and offer our condolences to all Muslims especially oppressed people of Yemen on the loss of some of our loved ones.

The Sunni Friday Imam of Qasr-e Shirin in an interview with the reporter of the Supreme Leader's office

Saudi Arabia and other fake Muslims that cause the murder of a lot of Muslims contribute America and Israel into a relaxed and stress relief state

Mamousta Gholam pointed out to the attack on the innocent people of Yemen and asserted that the killing of Muslims is haram (forbidden) and religiously speaking, the murder of a Muslim in Islam is equivalent to the murder of all human beings in the universe. And one of the taboos that Allah Almighty stated in the Holy Quran is the murder of innocent people.

He maintained that God on the Day of Judgment restores the rights. The first right that is reclaimed due to the oppression of the innocents is bloodshed.

Mamousta Gholami asserted that the shedding of the blood of Muslims that we have been a witness to throughout the region is to the benefit of America and Israel and they are the only ones who benefit from the murder of Muslims.

He also added that God Almighty says, addressing the Holy Prophet of Islam in the Holy Quran that you will find Jews the strongest enemy of the Muslims. Therefore the Zionists and America are certainly involved in all the problems and murders that happen in the world. Israel seeks to develop and achieve the so-called dream of from the Nile to the Euphrates by the murder of Muslims in the region.

Gholami maintained that Saudi Arabia and other fake Muslims that cause the murder of a lot of Muslims contribute America and Israel into a relaxed and stress relief state and start to murder a lot of Muslims in the best interests of them which is the Zionists'main concern.

The Sunni alim (cleric) said that we must come to our senses with the help of God and stand clear of the enemies of Allah and the Quran as there is no other crime which is not committed against Muslims by these enemies.

He added that the Sunnis have been murdered for four years by ISIS backed by turkey and some other Persian neighboring gulf countries and since they are doing evil, we pray that God will take away the Muslim's rights from them. This Muslim genocide is to Israel's benefit and we pray that God will destroy them all.

The statement of Azerbaijan Gharbi's Sunni Friday Imams, scholars, clergymen, teachers and students

The Saudi fighters aimed a residential zone in the coastal town of "Mocha" and killed 200 of the Sunni residents there, in an attempt not unlike the Zionist regime's crimes in the killing of people in "Qana".

In the Name of Allah ‌ أذي ن ليلاذي ين ي قاتل ون بيأناه م ظ لي موا و إي ان اللا ه على ن صريهي م لقدي ير ﴿ ﴾الحج ، 39

To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged;- and verily, Allah is most powerful for their aid;-

After the bitter incidents and infamous religious fitnas (intrigues) of extremists in the Islamic world in general, and in particular against the oppressed peoples of Syria and Iraq, we see today a malevolent invasion against the sovereignty of the Islamic government of Yemen and its revolutionary Muslim nation. The purpose of this invasion is to devastate the revolutionary and jihadi spirit of the nation. The nation that was able to achieve victory after suffering many years of dictatorship in Yemen and with uprising against dependent (western-supported) regime could win over the corrupt, oppressive, foreign mercenaries and the agents of Isis with the loyalty of the people. Now we see that the army of Saudi Arabia under the pretext of supporting the fugitive head of the Yemeni government attempted an aerial attack on Yemen and made them cooperate in this attack by inviting other countries and threatening them that failure to cooperate with them is equal to no financial support. But this time the Saudi fighters aimed a residential zone in the coastal town of "Mocha" and killed 200 of the Sunni residents there, in an attempt not unlike the Zionist regime's crimes in the killing of people in "Qana".

The meaningful silence of international organizations and countries claiming human rights was another part of the scenario in the face of this flagrant aggression. And is a dark point of international concepts and claims of human rights. The Saudi leaders have certainly met the overwhelming response of our nation and other Muslim nations of the world and they will surely burn in the fire of hatred.

The Sunni Friday Imams, teachers and students of Azerbaijan Gharbi support the legitimate self-defense of people in Yemen. And recognize the silence of international organizations about the bold invasion of the oppressed people of Yemen by the Saudis in the best interests of the Zionist regime as the gross violation of human rights and condemn it strongly. And it is incumbent up on Islamic nations, scholars, intellectuals, Mojahedin and the public to stay awake and alert to meet the challenges of this critical stage and stand against the tricks and conspiracies of the enemies of Islam and calls for an immediate end to any kind of violence, killing and invasion by the Saudi regime and its partners, and we know them responsible for this big crime. And we want all walks of Yemenis Mujahid people to stand against the invaders and to defend the national dignity, the territorial integrity and their values with patience and trust in God.

Abdul- Hai Mullah Mirza Ali

(The Sunni Friday Imam of Aq Qala)

Introducing these movements and supporting them was the easiest move toward meeting the objectives of the global imperialism

Mirza Ali pointed to the risks of Takfirism and said that introducing these movements and supporting them was the easiest move toward meeting the objectives of the global imperialism as it is practiced by the name of Islam and Muslims and they are the Muslims who are hurt the most.

Mirza added that the leaders of the Islamic countries, religious scholars and academics and intellectuals have a great historical mission, And this mission will be achieved once Scholars of various Islamic schools reject takfirism by issuing a shared fatwa and to accomplish a typical of the unity of the Islamic ummah (community) by Synergism.

The Sunni Friday Imam of Aq Qala referred to the nuclear deal and said that the real victory of the Iranian nation in diplomatic confrontation with international enemies is only possible in the light of resistance and perseverance and reaching to a good nuclear agreement is important to the government and the officials of the negotiating team have always received the Islamic Revolution leader's guide and support and they have also been supported by the people.

Sheikh Ismail Bazdar

(The Sunni Friday Imam of Bushehr)

The Saudis and their allies have still insisted on killing and military attacks on Shiite and Sunni regions.

In the name of God و م ن ي قت ل مؤ يمنا متع رمدا ف ج زاؤ ه جهنا م خاليدا فييها و غضي ب اللا ه ‌ ﴾علي هي و لعن ه و أعدا ل ه عذابا عظييما ﴿النساء، 93

If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him.

While the destruction of wicked people is in the divine destiny, these people and their regime continue their oppression and crimes, and pursue corruption and rebellion until God's promise is fulfilled. Saudi Arabia's regime and its allies still continue killings and slaughter of people and destruction of cities in Yemen and carry on their strikes in both Shia and Sunni regions. Following their brutal slaughters in Shia regions of Yemen, the Saudis also martyred more than 200 Sunni innocents in Mocha. I strongly condemn these crimes which are directed by the evil Zionism and call this friday along with the rest of Iran's Sunni community “The Black Friday”.

Mullah osameh Moradi

(The Sunni Friday Imam of Mohammad Mustafa Mosque in Kermanshah in an interview with the supreme leader’s office in Kermanshah’s Sunni affairs) We have learned from the Sunni leaders that Saudi attacks only contribute to the enemy and amount in Islam’s humiliation

Mullah osameh Moradi, Kermanshah’s Sunni Friday Imam, condemned the recent crimes of Saudi Arabia’s regime of killing Yemeni’s Sunnis and stated that America formerly bombarded Iraq and Afghanistan directly and tested his missiles on civilians but now, we see that America’s plans against Muslims have been; to be precise, Muslim genocide is carried out by Muslim nations.

He added that denunciation of these crimes presently is not only due to the bombardment of Sunni city of Mocha in Yemen by the Saudis and slaughter of our Sunni brothers but also it indicates that the whole war is in the best interests of America and Israel.

The Sunni scholar pointed out to his speech on the day of martyrdom of Imam Ali and asserted that the crimes of Saudi Arabia’s regime and some groups in the region have been dreadfully more than the criminal acts of America and Israel because these extremists (takfiris, violent offshoots of salafis) in Iraq have attracted the youngsters who carry out killings in Islamic dress and covering.

The Sunni Friday Imam of Mohammad Mustafa Mosque in Kermanshah maintained that these fake Muslims have committed crimes against Muslims which are worse than infidels and it should be noted that their recent crime against innocent civilians in Yemen, according to Quran’s verses and God’s promise, would not go unpunished and it will end in favor of Islam and the tyrant will perish and this will surely happen because the enemies of Islam have always sought to extinguish the light of Islam and the light of God that has never happened and will never happen.

Moradi declared that the enemies of Islam are trying in different forefronts in Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Bahrain, and Yemen to destroy Islam. These are the countries which now face the wars and slaughter against Muslims.

He continued that daily drone attacks to wedding ceremonies in Afghanistan and Pakistan changes a wedding celebration to a funeral. Simultaneously, what Saudi Arabia and Takfiris do in Yemen and in Iraq and Syria is, respectively, upsetting and acerbating to Muslims.

This Sunni cleric concluded that we have learned from the Sunni leaders that these attacks only contribute to the enemy and amount in Islam’s humiliation and these movements are basically war crimes but unfortunately, those who are in charge of war crimes have themselves equipped these criminals.

The Sunni Friday Imam of Nowdeshah in an interview with supreme leader’s office in Kermanshah’s Sunni affairs Saudi’s criminal movements which continue every day underscore the American-Israeli nature of this regime.

Mamosta Mobarakshahi, the Sunni Friday Imam of Nowdeshah pointed out to Saudi Arabia’s latest attacks against Sunni citizens of Yemen and asserted that as the Sunni Friday Imam of Nowdeshah, I condemn the brutal attack of the Saudis to a Muslim country and the slaughter of Muslim citizen, either Shia or Sunni.

He continued that Saudi’s criminal movements which continue every day underscore the American-Israeli nature of this regime since this regime has commenced a Muslim genocide in the region.

Mamosta Mobarakshahi added that we condemned this war from its initiation because it is a movement against Muslim’s unity and this war reflects one of the crimes of America and Israel against the Islamic community.

This Sunni cleric stated that these actions seek to separate Islamic sects and it is likely that we observe new round of brutalities against Muslim citizens in the holy shrines in future since Islam’s fervent enemies i.e. U.S. and Israel have taken control of the Saudi’s regime.

Mobarakshahi emphasized the dishonesty of Saudi regime’s claims concerning the advocacy of Sunni community and said that we saw with our own eyes this time that the regime which slaughtered Shias and Houthis of Yemen has now commenced the killing of Sunni Muslims in its project of Muslim genocide and executes our Muslim brothers and sisters.

He concluded that the killing of Sunni or Shia does not make a difference to the enemies of Islam because they are basically against Islam and we condemn this anti-Islamic action and warn that if Muslim community does not pursue the path of unity, we should await greater fitnas.

The Sunni Friday Imam of Ravansar

The crimes of the Saudis are inflicted on both our Sunni and Shia brothers, and we hope that all these movements will be the last efforts of this sinister regime.

Ghafuri, the Sunni Friday Imam of Ravansar, reminded the holy verse of Al-Imran

﴾و مک روا و مک ر اللا ه و اللا ه خي ر ال ماکيري ين ﴿آل عمران ، 54 And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.

and asserted that the superpowers will forget God and the truth when they find themselves a sense of empowerment and the Saudis applies well to this saying as we see that today this country acts like a slave to America and Israel.

God clearly and emphatically states in Quran that there should not be a way to dominate Muslims for the wicked. However, we see that the Saudis have submitted to the demands of the criminal governments of the U.S. and Israel to continue their reign and revelry for a short while even if this submission amounts to the killing of Muslims, including both Shias and Sunnis.

He added that the Saudis are telling a lie that they defend the right of Sunni Muslims. In fact, they are betraying the holy shrines in the land of holy shrines and have not, in practice, fulfilled anything other than the killing of Muslims and defaming Islam's image and they do not advocate any religion or creed.

Ghafuri said that the Saudis should be the guardians of divine revelation i.e. the absence of oppression of others or violation of the rights of Muslims and signing brotherhood among Muslims in Bilad e Haramen (the lands of holy shrines) but Islam which grants mercy to all human beings and God that must be addressed as Rahman and Rahim at the beginning of all Quran's verses are abandoned; they are represented exactly as opposite of it to the world.

The Sunni cleric maintained that despite seeing such a mercy in the Islam, these untruthful traitors to the holy shrines practice it such that they do not allow the import of medicine and services to the innocent and oppressed Muslims of Yemen and it is more than a hundred days that they have been murdering the oppressed people of Yemen. As we have seen in recent days, the Saudis' claim, fighting with Yemanis houthi, proved false and they plan to destroy entire Yemen.

The Sunni Friday Imam of Ravansar said that the Saudis not only prevent Muslim countries helping Yemen but they also prevent humanitarian aids of Western and non-Muslim countries to Yemen which means nothing but the Saudis looking to tighten their belts against the Yemenis.

Ghafouri added that the crimes of Saudis in the oppressed country of Yemen are strongly condemned. Today the Saudis act like a slave to America and Israel. And how well said Imam Khomeini about these two countries that America is the Great Satan and Israel must be wiped off from the scene.

He maintained by referring to the fact that applying the word "the great Satan" truly fit since today America attempts to sabotage, threaten and make ill promises. And on these anniversary days of Mersad operation, it is fitting to note that those hired hypocrites that were destroyed by careful and well-timed movement of the Iranian people in Mersad operation have committed many crimes against the Iranian people and the Iraqi Kurds but they have no place even on the lists of American terrorist organizations, which suggests the evil face of this country. It is recently reported that the evil Saudis have had a meeting with these hypocrites recently.

He also said that we hope that the Yemenis will win over the enemies' plots with resistance, patience, empathy and solidarity and support of the revolutionary people of Iran.

Ghafouri concluded that I have long been standing against any movements or groups which are against the principles of Islam in Friday Prayers sermons and the people in Ravansar are also in sharp contrast with Islamic opposition groups and movements and they strongly condemn these evil acts and now we are seeing a new page of the Saudis crimes that included both our Sunni and Shia brothers and we hope that all these movements will be the last efforts of this sinister regime.
