Iran calls for Islamic unity

Tehran, Oct 16 (Prensa Latina) Iran called to unify around Islam to counter plans for division that lead to attacks like the one that took place last Friday on a Shiite mosque in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

In a statement, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran warned about projects against the Muslim world for which unity and integrity are necessary, in order to avoid violence and extremism in the name of Islam.

Over 60 people were killed in three consecutive explosions that rocked the Bibi Fatima temple during Friday prayers, one of the greatest tragedies in the city.

The attack occurred just a week after another one in the urban center of Kunduz, whose responsibility was claimed by the Islamic State, with a balance of about 150 dead and twenty wounded.

The statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry alludes to analysts’ views on US conspiracies to undermine the Taliban government.

In any case, the said statement highlights the need for extreme measures to protect Shiite and Sunni religious centers from radical groups that tarnish the holy word of Islam.
