Hawzah News Agency- Delivering his sermon at the Great Husseiniyeh of Fatimah (PBUH), Hojatoleslam Qabbanji said the unfolding chaos in Washington “reveals the depth of the fracture within American society,” warning that the unrest reaching the White House “signals the erosion of the US democratic system.”
Warning Over Social and Moral Disintegration
Hojatoleslam Qabbanji cautioned against the growing spread of gatherings centered on “music, dancing, and moral deviation,” saying such activities threaten the integrity of family life. Citing United Nations statistics, he noted that “a girl is killed every ten minutes due to sexual issues,” criticizing attempts to justify destructive behavior as artistic freedom.
He stressed that Islam supports joy and entertainment rooted in values — such as travel, sports, and gatherings of believers — but rejects corrupt and harmful forms of entertainment. The cleric urged the Iraqi government to confront circles promoting moral decline.
Demand for Action on Sulaymaniyah Gas Field Bombing
Addressing domestic security concerns, Hojatoleslam Qabbanji called on Baghdad to take firm measures following the bombing of a gas field in Sulaymaniyah, which led to widespread electricity outages. He warned that silence would embolden further drone attacks in other provinces.
“Kurdistan is part of Iraq,” he emphasized, calling on the government to identify the perpetrators and pursue legal action.
Support for Sunni National Political Council
Hojatoleslam Qabbanji welcomed the formation of the Sunni National Political Council, describing it as a positive step toward strengthening political cohesion, similar to the Shia coordination framework. He said the council can contribute to “unifying ranks and advancing genuine national partnership.”
Condemnation of Sectarian Oppression in Syria
On regional developments, the cleric condemned the ongoing sectarian oppression targeting Syria’s Alawite community. He urged the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Iraqi government to address the issue, saying Iraq has the capability to play a role given its support for the Syrian state.
‘Unrest Has Reached the White House’
Concluding his sermon, Hojatoleslam Qabbanji said the shooting near the White House is a stark indicator of America’s growing internal disintegration. “The turmoil has reached the White House. This exposes the depth of division within the American nation,” he said.
