Turkish Ahl al-Bayt Scholars Association: Our Sanctities and Leaders Are Our Red Lines
The Association of Ahl al-Bayt Scholars of Turkey has condemned recent attacks by the Zionist regime and the U.S. against Iran, as well as Washington and Tel Aviv’s destructive projects targeting the region and the Islamic world, according to a report by webangah News Agency.
The statement declared: “Throughout history-from Prophet adam (AS) to today-the fronts of truth and falsehood have been locked in struggle. Now, all forces of disbelief stand arrayed against all forces of faith, and this battle rages with unrelenting intensity.”
The association asserted that “the front of arrogance,spearheaded by America as the Great Satan and wielding modern media and weapons,aims to forcibly subjugate vulnerable nations,particularly across the Islamic world.”
It noted that while conflicts persist in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran simultaneously reach new heights.
The statement singled out what it called “the latest exmaple”: threats against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei-described as “the guardian of Muslims”-by what it termed “the delusional U.S. president” alongside Zionists.
“We scholars vehemently denounce these brazen aggressions,” declared the association while urging Muslims globally to defend their values sanctities honour dignity considering Islam Quran Prophet
