Iranian Sunnis denounced Shayan Mosleh, a member of Persepolis Football Club, over insulting the Guided Caliphs and Sayyidah Ayishah, may Allah be pleased with them, during a public speech.
SunniOnline reports, the footballer has insulted and cursed Abu-Bakr, Omar, Othman and Sayyidah Ayishah, may Allah be pleased with them, apparently in a mourning gathering.

Persepolis FC and its accused member have not showed any reaction yet. Officials also preferred to keep silent over the demands of the Sunni community.
