The representative of the leading religious authority [Marja’iyah] in Europe:
* Explains the reason behind the Marja’iyah’s banning of its pictures being raised in government departments and other institutions as being ‘self-promotion.’
* Condemns sectarian attacks on rallies and funerals, mosques and other places.
* Considers the abuse of Islamic figures as part of the justification to attack innocent people.
* Thanks a number of prayer leaders, from both inside and outside Iraq, for their moderate and balanced approach in calling for unity and renouncement of discord in accordance with Islamic morals and to respect the safeguarding of human life.
