TEHRAN, Feb. 17 (MNA) - Iran's Leader, while pointing to the situation
of Muslims in the West, expressed his regret over the lack of safety
in Western countries.
Iran's Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks in
a meeting with representatives of religious minorities at Iranian
Parliament.
Addressing the representatives, Ayatollah Khamenei said, we have
learned from Islam to treat the followers of other religions with
"fairness and justice".
"Today World powers and governments which claim justice do not observe
any fairness except within the bounds of their narrow, limited and
cruel policies," Iran's Leader underlined.
He added that what is at issue now is not why Muslims do not have
freedom in many of these countries, but why they do not have safety!
Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the Hollywood-made film American Sniper
as an example and said it encourages Christian or non-Muslim youngsters
to harass and offend the Muslims as far as they could.
This approach is not favored by Islam which believes in fairness,
the Leader emphasized.
I often visit Armenian and Assyrian Martyrs homes, Leader said,
stressing their commitment to their country.
"I remember a number of Armenian Christians came to Ahwaz during the
Imposed War to help and serve for their country," Leader emphasized.
Pointing to Iran's justice towards non-Muslims, Ayatollah Khamenei
stressed the need to show the world that Islamic Republic of Iran is
so tolerant towards non-Muslims.
The Leader pointed to the lack of similar behaviors towards Muslims
in countries which claim to defend human rights, including the US,
stressing that after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran
in 1979, there has been no record of aggression by Muslims against
non-Muslims.
