NCRI – The Iranian regime president, Hassan Rouhani, in his speech on Thursday December 15 in the so-called Islamic Unity Conference, claimed violence from any religion or ethnicity is against Islam.
In this regard, Turkey’s Anatolia news agency in a report on December 15 questioned Rouhani’s statement regarding Islam’s opposition to violence and said while Rouhani today talked about Islam opposing violence, the (sectarian) militants backed by Iranian regime killed several civilians, who were evacuating East Aleppo during the ceasefire, by firing direct shots.
“Sectarian militants affiliated to the regime in Iran today once again under the command of Seid Javad, a commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), fired direct shots at the civilians, who were evacuating East Aleppo following the ceasefire, killing several civilians and injuring a large number of them. This is while Hassan Rouhani in his speech in «Islamic Unity Conference» today said: «Violence is against Islam. Violence from Shiite or Sunni is unacceptable. Murder by anyone is undue and rejected»” Anatolia reported.
“So far, thousands of civilians in East Aleppo have lost their lives because of the (crimes of) Assad regime and its supporters including Iranian regime; all hospitals and medical centers have been destroyed; bakeries closed down, and tens of thousands have been under intense and deadly siege. Yet, Rouhani talks about «Jihad» and «Confronting Oppression» and «Tradition and Love for the Prophet»” Anatolia news agency continued.
The news agency added: “While Rouhani said «One cannot get close to the Prophet and Islam by bloodshed and killing innocents», according to official report of the UN Human Rights Office in Geneva, two days ago forces loyal to Syrian regime and its allies raided residential homes where civilians were taking refuge and executed at least 82 people including 11 women and 13 children on the spot, by firing gunshots in a field (summary) style execution.”
According to Anatolia, “Various international institutions, scholars, individuals and organizations across the world have strongly condemned the killing of civilians in Aleppo by Assad regime and its supporters.”
