Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani has warned arrogant powers that their efforts to cause a split between Shia and Sunni Muslims are doomed to fail.


The enemy seeks to prevent Muslims from making further progress through plots, Majlis news agency (ICANA) quoted Larijani as saying in the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta on Friday.

The senior Iranian official added that the US and its allies would not succeed to obtain their objectives because Muslims are awakened and will foil their conspiracies.

He pointed to the revolutions in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen and Bahrain and said, The movements indicate the Muslims' awakening because they seek to determine their own destiny and to free themselves from the yoke of dictators.

Larijani emphasized that efforts by arrogant powers to impede the current awakening in the region would not bear fruits.

The top Iranian parliamentarian stressed the importance of using great potentialities of Muslim countries to strengthen their unity, saying this would lead to a strong current in the world.

Larijani expressed Iran's opposition to US-backed dictators and said Tehran supports popular uprisings in Yemen, Bahrain and Libya.

In recent months, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has swept across the Arab world.

In January, a revolution in Tunisia ended the 23-year rule of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

In February, another revolution led to the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after three decades of authoritarian rule. Both dictators were firmly backed by the US and most other Western countries.

Revolutions have also begun in Libya, Yemen, and Bahrain, while anti-government demonstrations have been held in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, and Algeria.

What he talking about, IRAN government dividing their self, what they are doing with Sunni population in IRAN??????? the Sunni community does not have any authority they are kept away from the key posts of the country, they can not participate in important decisions, the Sunnis do not have any right in legislative departments and management of the country, rather they are gifted all kinds of injustice and discrimination. There is not a single Masjid of Sunni in Tehran, What is all this?????????? and Sunni Population in IRAN is more than 25%,

they are Munafiqeens, they are saying something else but doing totally different. the reality is Sunnis in Iran suffered from deteriorations, they faced injustice and were tortured, the Sunnis were displaced and massacred.

they are against all Sunni Muslims all over the world, they are funding and helping the shia elements in Muslims countries. ALLAH safe us From their fitna. AMEEN

I totally agree with you alaqsa ..... BUT .......!!!!!!

Why don't you do the same analyses for Saddam Hussain's Iraq or Bahrain? Both have Shia Majority .. but did not or have near zero representation within there government.

We kind of drift out, in many of my post I have mentioned that Shia live in many other countries of Muslim Ummah... but you have to truest me.... shia of Iran are the most liberal or may I say open minded.... if for any reason the Arab shia gained power and voice.... it would be a totally different game plan.

You will be shocked, how much hate Arab Shia have... specially in Saudi Arabia. I have seen it first hand. Supressing a Comunity based on Caste, Race, Sect or Colour is like playing with live explosive. When it explode or discharges It self... it cant distinguish between Friends and foe.

Look at our own selves, see Where Pakistan stand on this logic of Caste , Creed, Sect and Colour topic.. the whole social fabric is torn. yet we don't learn or understand.....



Why fight?
