There was a time when In Syria, on order of ruler of Syria, his filthy followers used offensive language for Amir-ul-Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abu Talib (a.s.) for many years, they used to curse Hazrat Ali (a.s) from mosques and in Friday sermons. Today most of the followers of Syrian ruler denied the fact but history has recorded that when the ruler signed agreement with Imam Hasan (a.s), one point in that agreement was “Ruler will immediately stop the use of abusive language with reference to Ahlul Bayt (cursing Imam Ali) after Salat of Jumu'a”. His signature on that agreement proved that this was being done and signing the contract means that he agreed to stop that. Still most of our brothers are confused when we ask them to choose any one, either Imam Ali or Syrian emperor, there is no way to opt both of them as a leader, one was on righteous path and other was imprudent, now every individual should do his own analyses to select his Amir-ul-Momineen.
As history always repeats, there is no surprise if a follower of Syrian ruler used offensive language against a follower of Maula Ali (a.s), on January 01, 2010, a wahabi mulla of Saudia Arabia, Mohammad al-Ureifi in his Friday sermon called Ayatollah Sistani an "atheist and debauched". People of Iraq showed immediate reaction and thousands of Iraqis protested the comments by Al-Urefi, Iraqi Parliament also condemned the statements and called on the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) to speak out against such statements.
Protests were also held in Iran against this statement and all religious leaders condemned these remarks for Ayatollah Sistani. Hojjatoleslam Kazem Seddiqi in Iran in his Friday sermon said:
"Ayatollah Sistani is one of the pillars and pivots of Iraq's Shi'ites, and insulting Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah] Khomeini's photograph and [Iranian Supreme] Leader [Ali Khamenei] and Ayatollah Sistani stems from one trend."
We, the people of Pakistan also strongly condemn this statement of Al Ureifi and demand all brothers and sisters to protest against it.
Protest held to condemn use of abusive language against Ayatollah Syed Ali Hussaini Sistani in front of Mehfil e Shah e Khurasan, Britto Road. Moulana Syed Ali Murtaza Zaidi addressed the protest. Follow the link below to watch video of this protest.
