Imam Khamenei: Takfiri Ideology is Enemies’ Scheme to Divide Muslims

Local Editor

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, has once again called for vigilance against enemy schemes to sow divisions among Muslim communities, in a meeting on Sunday.

Addressing a meeting with Iranian Hajj [pilgrimage] officials on Sunday, Imam Khamenei said the enemies are using the Takfiri ideology as a means to cause rifts among Muslims in an attempt to divert their attention from the issue of Palestine and serve the "Israeli" regime's interests.

Imam Khamenei then described the Palestinian issue as the most important concern of the Muslim world, adding, "The issue of Palestine is the top priority of the Muslim world which should be addressed during the Hajj [rituals]."

He emphasized that Muslims have the "upper hand" with regard to the issue of Palestine, saying the defeat of the "Israeli" regime, as the West's symbol of power in the region, in the 50-day war against the besieged people in the seized Gaza Strip was an apparent example of this issue.

"The recent victory in Gaza demonstrated that Muslims are powerful and have great capabilities and can challenge any enemy and defend themselves," Imam Khamenei stated.

Additionally, Imam Khamenei said hegemonic powers are making efforts and hatching plots to drive a wedge among Muslims and described the Hajj pilgrimage as a unique opportunity to strengthen unity and understanding among Muslims and settle their differences.

"Israel" first launched its aggression on the seized Gaza Strip in early July, martyring almost 2,140 Palestinians, mostly civilians, including women, children and the elderly. Around 11,000 others were injured.
