Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – The text of the statement which is signed by head of the Supreme Council at Qom's Society of Seminary Teachers Ayatollah Muhammad Yazdi is as follows:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

The tragic raid of takfiri terrorists on Shia Afghan village which resulted in the massacre of innocent civilians is a terrible and painful incident.

Today, takfiri terrorists, with the covert and overt support of Western intelligence services, engage in killing innocent people and slaughtering mankind in cold blood and with absolute ignorance.

The international community's silence toward these inhumane bloodshed and genocides in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Afghanistan as well as in other parts of the world is meant to encourage the terrorists to carry out their organized crimes.

The Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom expresses condolences over this Shia massacre to all Muslims and freedom-seekers around the world and condemns this brutal crime.

We also warn that the anger of the oppressed will eventually overthrow the oppressors worldwide and the true face of so-called human rights bodies, that hypocritically issue statements to slam terrorist attacks but actually are supporting such groups, will be revealed to the whole world.

The Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom urges all Muslims to stay cautious as always in order to fight takfiri terrorists and their deviational thoughts under any title.

 Muhammad Yazdi
