Hawzah News Agency- Senior Scholar Ayatollah Ali Akbar Seifi Mazandarani, in a message condemning the insult of the evil Zionists to the Holy Quran, the last and most complete divine book, which pained the heart of every believer, stated,” The global arrogance and criminal Zionists have targeted the foundations of Islam.”

The text of the message is as follows:

The unfortunate news of the insult of the evil Zionists to the Holy Quran, the last and most complete divine book, pained the heart of every believer.

Today, more than ever before, it has been proven to the whole world, especially the heads of Islamic states, that the criminal, evil and anti-religion Zionist regime does not only want to rule and dominate from the Nile to the Euphrates, but it is the enemy of the religion of Islam and the holy book of Qur'an, and the noble Messenger of Islam and their believers.

This usurper regime, hand in hand with the infidels and arrogant people of the world, i.e. the American government and the European governments, harbors the delusion of eradicating the noble family of Islam and the Quran. In fact, this cancerous tumor has targeted the foundations of Islam and the Qur'an.

Today, silence regarding this great criminal regime is not permissible in any way, and to be short in the face of this unbelieving tyrant is a betrayal to the Quran and the Messenger of God, but also a betrayal to the God Almighty.

I have not considered silence regarding this crime permissible for myself and I will never consider it permissible for any Shia or Sunni scholar.

Also, the heads of Islamic governments know that merely condemning and issuing a statement does not have any deterrent effect against this criminal regime, therefore economic and political relations and any interaction with this evil regime is a clear example of betrayal to God and the Messenger, and the adoption of effective solutions prevents the inevitable duty of Islamic states and nations.
