Statement of his eminence on the demolition of Hujr ibn ‘Adi’s grave by Wahabbi terrorists

These human-like savages who are unprecedented in history have no mercy neither for the alive nor for the dead and martyrs. If they had power they would tear down the dome and shrine of the holy prophet (s) as they repeatedly confess to this implicitly or explicitly.

One again we are witnessing another calamity in the Islamic world. Wahhabi terrorists attacked and demolished the shrine of Hujr ibn ‘Adi who was a great companion of the holy prophet (s). Hujr, such a pious and brave man who was also amongst the companions of Imam Ali (‘a), stood against the Umayyad tyrants and was killed by them and buried in place near Damascus named Marj al-A’dra.

These humanlike savages who are unprecedented in history have no mercy, neither for the alive nor for the dead and martyrs. If they had power they would tear down the dome and shrine of the holy prophet (s) as they repeatedly confess to this implicitly or explicitly. In this case though, they are afraid of public opinion of Muslims throughout the world.

We strongly condemn this heinous crime. Muslims specially the Shia will never forget this and for sure the perpetrators of this crime will soon face the punishment they deserve.

I tell their supporters f r o m Turkey, Saudi and Qatar to the US and Israel: “Shame on you. You are supporting people who carry out such heinous crime which cannot be justified by any humanistic criterion.”

We know that the enemies of Islam ,the US and Israel being on the top of that list, tend to wage sectarian wars amongst Muslims however for sure they will fail in this plot.
