Mawlana Abdol-Hamid expressed his concerns about the mass killing of protesters and pointed out to \u201ctwo tragic incidents\u201d in these protests and said: \u201cTwo things were horrible in recent protests; murdering the protestors widely and the second one burning banks and gas\/fuel stations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Friday prayer Imam of Sunnis in Zahedan welcomed the Supreme Leader\u2019s command on \u201cpaying blood money to murdered innocent protesters\u201d and calling them as \u201cmartyrs\u201d.
\nHe said: \u201cIn addition to the leader\u2019s order, killers and culprits behind shooting protestors must be punished so that no one else would commit such a crime.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Iranian Sunnis leader once again called for decreasing petrol price and said that the prices of commodities have gone up widely due to high oil price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo reduce and control economic crises and social problems, cut petrol price\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kohi\u2019s release is a public demand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Imam of the Grand Makki Masque went on to defend Mawlana Fazl-ur-Rahman Kohi, the Friday prayer Imam of Pashamag in Sarbaz County and said: \u201cWe are under pressure from public side for being silent about the issue\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMawlana Kohi\u2019s imprisonment concerned all; Kohi speaks with local and rural dialect and literature that maybe intolerable to some, but actually Kohi is a sincere and honest person who never wants to see disturbance in the country. He does not support terrorism or armed movements,\u201d he added more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOn the subject of Kohi\u2019s arrest, we encourage officials to be more patient and to listen to critics with tolerance for lasting unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo respect public\u2019s demand, Kohi and his companions should be released as soon as possible\u201d, the president of Darululoom Zahedan added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Authorities should comprehend Sunnis\u2019 conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt has been forty years since the revolution, but Sunnis have not achieved their due rights yet; they still have no a single mosque in Tehran. They have been facing obstacles in offering and celebrating Eid prayers and Friday prayers in the cities where Sunnis are in minority. The Sunnis have a constitutional right to worship freely,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid urged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said more: \u201cForty years after the revolution, Sunnis still have not played role on the level of a minister or a vice-president in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hamid said that Sunnis are banned from recruiting in armed forces after the 1979 revolution, while the farmer regime used to recruit Sunnis in armed forces on a wide scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mawlana Abdol-Hamid then pointed to obstacles and said: \u201cSunni scholars face restrictions on national trips and they cannot travel to other provinces to meet their people; I hope these obstacles will be removed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most influential Iranian Sunni scholar concluded his points by saying: \u201cWe are under pressure from public side to defend their due rights and express their problems and demands. On the other hand, we observe authorities in some cases that they deny discussing some issues here; therefore, we expect that the authorities will pay a close attention to Sunnis and observe their certain rights in all fields. They should comprehend our situation.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdol-Hamid criticized killing protestors of rising petrol price in Iran and announced that Mawlana Kohi\u2019s release was the demand of public in his Friday prayer speech of December 6, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9883,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c58-ahl-al-sunna-in-iran"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
