Takfiri Conference in Iran – the ISIS has given a wake up call to Muslims around the globe, except a few, almost all of the entire Muslim world has come together against the evil ISIS and has condemned their actions unequivocally. The old extremist including Talibans are pale compared to the ISIS.
I hope they come out with resolutions and cut down the non-sense of declaring other Muslims as non-Muslims. This amounts to Shirk (diluting God’s authority), that is dangerously playing God. Indeed, almost every Muslim believes that Shirk is the only unpardonable act. No one should have the right to judge other’s faith and I pray that the conference makes that declaration.
In regard to the Takfiri threat, Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi stated: “The Takfiri issue is a danger to the Islamic world and even to the entire world. All of their actions are to show a harsh face of Islam to the world. For this reason a group of scholars have decided to hold a conference [The World Congress on Extremist and Takfiri Movements in the View of Islamic Scholars].”
“The aim of this conference is for scholars to gather and explain that Takfirism is foreign to Islam so that that the enemies cannot have the excuse to connect Takfirism to Islam and violence. Islam is a religion of compassion and love and we are even commanded to be kind to non-Muslims,” the renowned scholar stated.

“We have credible narrations from the Noble Prophet of Islam [Prophet Muhammad] (S) which clearly state that protecting the lives and property of all Muslims who accept the qiblah, prophethood and the Quran is obligatory,” quoted Shaikh Tajuddin al-Hilali as saying.
“These Takfiris are striving to misappropriate and misuse Islamic holy sites and the alter the call of ‘Allahu Akbar’ [God is the greatest], which we all recite in our daily prayers, into a symbol of murder in order to legitimate their crimes. This action has seriously tarnished the face of the religion of Islam in the world,” the Sunni scholar stated.
Shaykh al-Hilali condemned the deviant beliefs of these individuals who not even treat women and children with mercy. “Takfiris do not hesitate to commit any crime in order advance their sinister goals. Those who follow the Takfiri path also object to Muslim women,” he stated.

Warning the scholars present on the dangers associated with hazardous methods of religious propagation, Shaykh al-Hilali stated: “We who are the scholars of Islam must not allow our Muslim youths to easily fall into the trap of the Takfiris’ unfounded system of beliefs. We should warn and advise them in the first stage of any deviancy and prevent them from carrying out the aims and plots of the Zionists and the Americans in the region [Middle East].”
Tajuddin al-Hilali stressing that Takfiris have come to destroy Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and other Islamic countries, said: our children need pure security and World Muslims scholars must stand against Takfiris and root their ideology out with their unity and consensus.

During this week’s Friday prayers held at Qom’s Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah, Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi told the believers gathered about this week’s pressing issues – including the P5+1 negotiations and the Takfiri phenomenon. 
Regarding Iran’s ongoing negotiations with the P5+1 group of countries in regard to its disputed peaceful nuclear program, Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi stated that “we do not know the final outcome of these negotiations will be.”
His Eminence added: “But we do know that several times, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei] said that he is not optimistic about the negotiations.”
“[The negotiations ] will not lead anywhere, but I am not opposed either,” Ayatollah Khamenei is reported to have stated publically several times.
Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi stated that the Iranian negotiating team knows that they must negotiate from within the guidelines presented by Ayatollah Khamenei – those of the system of Wilayat al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurisprudent) and also stated the people will not accept anything to the contrary.
“Our nation is an nation who’s culture is derived from Ashura. The culture of the slogan of ‘we will never be humiliated’ is articulated by Iran’s people and all of the unbelievers and the arrogant of the world must know that they can never humiliate this nation,” he explained.
Regarding the vote of no confidence in the Islamic Consultative Assembly [Iranian Parliament] regarding the proposed Minster of Science, Research and Technology, Fakhroddin Ahmadi-Danesh-Ashtiani, Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi stated that the suitable candidates should be limited to those who are known in the country.
In regard to the Takfiri threat, Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi stated: “The Takfiri issue is a danger to the Islamic world and even to the entire world. All of their actions are to show a harsh face of Islam to the world. For this reason a group of scholars have decided to hold a conference [The World Congress on Extremist and Takfiri Movements in the View of Islamic Scholars].”
“The aim of this conference is for scholars to gather and explain that Takfirism is foreign to Islam so that that the enemies cannot have the excuse to connect Takfirism to Islam and violence. Islam is a religion of compassion and love and we are even commanded to be kind to non-Muslims,” the renowned scholar stated.
The Friday prayer leader of Qom stressed that some young people throughout the Muslim world have been deceived and imagine the path of terror is a way to heaven. “This conference will prove that terrorism is the path to hell. We will also discuss how to refute the dangerous Takfiri ideology and discover the roots of their belief system and their thought,” Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi stated.
