TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Judiciary Chief Sadeq Amoli Larijani warned against the western plots to widen the rift among Muslims by intimidating other Muslim sects from Shiites."Spreading fear from the Shiite Muslims is a plot by the West to sow the seeds of discord among Muslims," Amoli Larijani said, addressing a meeting of senior judicial officials in Tehran on Wednesday.
He pointed to the West's Islamophobia scenario in the world, and said, "The Takfiri outlook and thought has been created by the West to ruin the real image of Islam, which is a steady and logical image, through practice of violent acts."
Amoli Larijani called on Muslim scholars, including Shiites and Sunnis, to try to show the real image of Islam, and said, "The Muslim scholars should announce to the world that the performance and thoughts of the Takfiri streams are an insult to Islam and these violent acts are not related to Islam at all."
Underlining Iran's emphasis on unity among Muslims, he reminded that Shiite Muslim countries, including Iran, support Hamas to the same extent that they support Hezbollah.
On Tuesday, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei described the ISIL terrorist group as just a branch of the Takfiri stream which has troubled the region, and said ISIL is serving the US and Israel's interests.
Addressing the political and religious figures participating in the 'International Congress on Takfiri Streams in the Eyes of the Islamic Ulema' in Tehran on Tuesday, Ayatollah Khamenei described the Takfiri stream as a problem imposed by the arrogant powers on the region in line with the US and Israel's interests, and said the Takfiri stream should be considered as a phenomenon beyond the ISIL as the terrorist group is only a branch of the Takfiri stream.
"The Takfiri stream and the governments which support it completely move in line with the goals of the arrogant powers, meaning the US, the hegemonic European governments and the Zionist regime, and are practically at their service under an Islamic disguise," he added.
Ayatollah Khamenei said diverting the Islamic Awakening is one of the goals pursued by the arrogant powers by supporting the Takfiri streams, and said, "The forefront of Muslims' struggle in the region was focused on the occupied Palestine but the Takfiri stream changed this frontline and moved it into the streets and cities of Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and Libya and this is one of the Takfiri stream's crimes which cannot be forgotten."
He underlined that another instance for showing that the Takfiri stream is serving the US, Britain and the Zionist regime is that its supporters dont even show a minimum opposition to the Zionist regime and even collaborate with the regime in fighting the Muslims.
The Supreme Leader described destruction of the Muslim states' infrastructures as another instance of the Takfiri stream's services to the enemies of Islam, and said the stream also took the world attention off the 51-day Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, leaving the Palestinian resistance groups and people alone in their defense against the Zionists' aggression.
He stressed that the so-called US-led anti-ISIL coalition is nothing but a lie, and said the US airdrops of military equipment and weapons for the ISIL displays much of the truth.
He also underscored the Muslim Ulema's responsibilities in the current situation, and said they should form a scientific, logical and pervasive campaign to uproot the Takfiri stream.
