Therefore, while inviting all the leaders of religions to unity and Brotherhood against the devils, we ask them to reveal their disgust with these actions.

The elements behind these insults, which sometimes have the support of Western ideology, not to think that the divine light will be extinguished by their polluting tails, and that the flag of worships, spirituality and morality will fall to the ground with their insignificant struggles. History has proven that the worshipers always win and the Divine light always illuminates all darkness.
