Sunni, Shia clerics slam Zahedan terrorism against Imam Hoseyn festival

By: Sheikh M Khurasani

TEHRAN, Iran: Clerics belonging to Sunni and Shia schools of thought based in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan have strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in the province.

On July 15, a twin suicide bomb attack at a festival marking the birth anniversary of Hazret-e-Imam Hoseyn (a.s.) in the provincial capital Zahedan left 27 people dead and at least 300 injured.

In a letter to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, signed by 32 Shia and 73 Sunni clerics, the clerics declared that suicide attacks and all terrorist acts against Sunni and Shia Muslims are haraam (forbidden in Islam).

The clerics also said they will make every effort to prevent the dissemination of the unintelligent views of the people who are seeking to undermine Muslim unity.
