- In stark contrast, the UN Under-Secretary-General, Mr. Miguel Angel Moratinos, who is in charge of the UN\'s Plan of Action to Safeguard Religious Sites, visited the Grand Ayatullah Sayyid ‘Ali Sistani.
- They discussed promoting a culture of peaceful coexistence, rejecting violence and hatred, establishing values of harmoney that are based on genuine concern for rights and mutual respect among adherents of different religions
- Our Grand Marja‘ pointed out that the tragidies suffered by many people of different ethnic & social groups in many parts of the world have been the result of three specific issues

- It all started with the Saudis. Unfortunately, because of its oil, the West bows down to them and ignores their crimes in suppressing the minorities.
