Shaikh Abdol-Hamid: War is not a Decisive Solution

Khateeb of Sunnis in Zahedan welcomed cease of aerial bombing in Yemen and urged ‘war has not been decisive’ anywhere.
In a part of his Friday sermon of April, 24, 2015, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid alluded to the stop of aerial attacks on Houthis in Yemen and said, “We are happy that aerial assault in Yemen has been halted. We hope the people of Yemen would sit together resolving their disputes via political channels and negotiations.”
“War and military conflicts have not been decisive anywhere; if it is determinant, we have seen its positive results in countries where conflicts have been going on. War only makes problems more complex and complicated.”
Khateeb of Sunnis in Zahedan called ‘dialogue and formation of national and mass governments’ the only solution, stating, “The only way to get rid of crises in states where conflicts and civil wars are going on is sitting on the table of negotiation, dialogue and formation of national and mass governments. Legal and due demands of minorities and their freedoms must be recognized. If we look at the main reasons behind security crises in countries which are stuck by internal conflicts, we would conclude they have neglected due rights of minorities.”
Addressing the leaders of countries, the outstanding Iranian Sunni scholar said, “I would like to recommend all leaders, including our own officials, to pay attention to demands of people and their nations. It is necessary to listen to the voice of every member of any nation for developments of countries and rebuttal of the danger of separation.”
Concluding his points, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid said, “The way for dialogue and political solutions must be paved; many of problems can be resolved by forming mass governments and realizing the rights of all sects and ethnic communities.”
