United Arab Emirates has blasted the Iranian regime over the ‘sectarian’ comments made by a high ranking cleric over the death of Saudi king Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz. He said the comment ‘targets’ all Arab countries and ‘compounds Iran’s relations with’ them.
On Friday, Ahmad Jannati, the Chairman of Guardian Council, congratulated Muslims over the death of Saudi king Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz.
“We should express condolences to the Israelis and Americans and congratulation to Muslims,” He said on during the Tehran’s Friday sermon in, the state-run Mehr news agency reported.
Dr. Anwar Mohammad Gargash, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, said that Jannati’s ‘attack’ on ‘King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz and on his life has sectarian overtones.’
“It targets all of us and compounds Iran’s relations with Arab countries,” the minister posted on his Twitter account.
Dr. Gargash said that mosques should not be used to target the dead.
“Mosque tribunes must not be used to spread sectarian ideologies, disrespect the dead, and interfere in the domestic affairs of others. If you cannot say a proper thing, then you should lapse into silence. King Abdullah is the pride of the Arabs,” he posted.
