On Saturday and Sunday and on Eid al-Adhad, many Muslims by gathering in Mecca for hajj pilgrimage ceremonies celebrated this auspicious eid and Muslims who were unable to be present in Hajj pilgrimage marked the day in their hometowns.

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Friday and before Hajj ceremony issued a message for all Muslims attending this ceremony in Mecca and in his message he called for unity among Muslims for overcoming problems.

He sent a message to the 2022 Hajj pilgrimage, inviting Muslims around the world to turn away from what leads to “disunity and division” while also talking about Islamic awakening and resistance.

In a message, Ayatollah Khamenei named the Hajj pilgrimage as a manifestation of Muslims’ “unity and harmony”, noting that “The unity of the Muslim nation is one of the two basic foundations of the Hajj Pilgrimage.”

Pointing to the “extensive” efforts of enemies to “weaken the two life-giving elixirs of Islamic unity and spirituality”, he named “promoting a western lifestyle” as a tool that enemies typically use.

Ayatollah Khamenei further noted that this Islamic self-awareness has led to the creation of a “wondrous, miraculous phenomenon” of “Resistance”.

He went on to name Palestine as one of the manifestations of resistance as it has been able to “bring down the rebellious Zionist regime from its state of aggression and howling to a defensive, passive stance.”

Hailing the “proud model of power and political Islamic governance in Islamic Iran”, Ayatollah Khamenei said the “stability, independence, progress, and honor” of the Islamic Republic is attracting the thoughts of “every conscious Muslim.”

According to the Leader, “the sovereignty of Islam in the legislative and executive branches of governance, reliance on the vote of the people in the country’s most important administrative matters, [and] complete political independence and a refusal to rely on any oppressive powers” are among the basic principles in the Islamic Republic.

This trend in the Islamic world, continued Ayatollah Khamenei, is a source of worry for arrogant powers as they will “employ all their resources” to confront it. He went on to name soft warfare, inducement, intimidation, and the criminal Zionist regime among the tools used by enemies to fight Islamic awakening.

Noting that enemies’ efforts “have failed in most cases”, he added, “the arrogant West has become weaker by the day in our sensitive region and, more recently, throughout the whole world.”

The Islamic Revolution Leader stressed that the failure of the U.S. and the Israeli regime can be seen clearly. “The distress and failure of the United States and its criminal accomplice, the usurper [Zionist] regime in the region, can clearly be seen.”

The Supreme Leader is totally right because lack of unity among Muslims have emboldened the Zionists and the U.S. to take more aggressive steps against Muslims and the Zionists’ atrocities against the Muslims especially in the Middle East are on the rise.

To overcome such hegemony and atrocities, Muslims worldwide need to remain united in fight against this tyranny like what they do in Hajj and stoning the Devil because so far the Zionists have made most of the rift and division among the Muslims to continue its atrocities and as the Supreme Leader has reiterated, without unity it will be difficult to fight the Zionists.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is a role model for fight against the world arrogance and fought for safeguarding the independence, and the establishment since the overthrow of the Shah regime in 1979 has progressed significantly and now it can be proud to say it can be a role model for other Muslim states.

The Palestine cause should be an issue for uniting Muslims against the Zionists and as long as they ignore this cause, the Zionists will continue their dominance over the Muslims states who have pro-West or weak governments.

Unfortunately, normalization of ties with the Zionist regime is the exact sign for treason against the Palestinians and will help this fake regime to survive and Muslim nations should not let it happen.

So on the occasion of this auspicious eid, Muslim states and their rulers are recommended to show their unity in fight against the Zionists and Americans’ dominance otherwise they will have to suffer more insults and hegemony and it will be a blow to Muslims worldwide because Islam has always encouraged Muslims to fight for their rights without bowing down to oppressors.

Velayati made the remarks in a phone conversation on Sunday with Ismail Haniyeh, the chief of the Hamas political bureau.

“You are a role model for the Muslim world. We follow your great victories and achievements and what you do is a cause of honor for the resistance,” Velayati remarked.

Iran, according to Haniyeh, is a key support base for the Palestinian people and resistance.

“Our people and resistance are in good shape and we will continue to defend Al-Aqsa,” Haniyeh added.

The phone conversation happened as Israel’s brutal attacks on Palestinians and holy sites in the occupied territories, particularly the Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Al-Quds, have escalated.

Since the start of Ramadan, Israeli violence has been on the rise in the occupied West Bank, with over two dozen Palestinians dead and many more injured at the hands of the regime’s army.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett gave Israeli soldiers unrestricted freedom of action earlier this month to continue their harsh operations against Palestinians, signaling an increase in Israeli murder and harassment of Palestinians.

At least 19 Palestinians were hurt in conflicts on Sunday at the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in the occupied Al-Quds, when Israeli settlers invaded the historic site under the cover of Israeli armed troops.

Israeli police expanded their violence inside Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday morning, storming the mosque’s courtyards and attacked worshipers. Over 150 Palestinians were injured and 400 others detained in the raid.

Similar acts sparked a battle between the Israeli military and the Gaza-based resistance organizations in May, who rose up in protest to Israeli assault.

Jamal Nazzal, the spokesman for the Palestine National Liberation Movement (Fatah), said in a press release on Sunday that Israel has been preparing for the assault on Al-Aqsa Mosque for a long time.

He stated that Israel’s brutality against Palestinians in Al-Quds is likely to destabilize the entire region and beyond, adding that “Israel’s violent actions against our civilians are part of a plan and not a reaction to anything Palestinians were doing in the early morning of last Friday.”

An entirely insulting analysis published by German Die Welt Newspaper shows that the writer does not even understand the basic principles of liberalism.

Some parts of the article is as follow:

“There are parallel communities inside and outside the country. The hostile minorities must be behaved toughly, including criminal groups and tribes inside Germany, and extremist Islamists in Iran. Germany has not so far acted properly to confront these communities.

If there is one thing that I understand very well, then it’s how the customs and laws governing on the streets, especially in the troubled or very sensitive areas of Germany, where the so-called parallel societies hold power.

It is very difficult for an alien to understand exactly what happens in this second German reality: different languages, different behaviors and different values has frightened many people.

However, this so-called parallel society is not just a society, but it consists of dozens and even hundreds of different societies that have their own relations with Germany, democracy and liberal values. Usually only ‘extremists’ have a serious problem in respect with integration and often are problematic in terms of security.

People only want to have a good life and be part of a society of Germany. Even if original identity of persons is more valuable for them, they still want to be a part of Germany, a country in which they have achieved freedom.

Despite Germany’s efforts to make these societies integrated, there are different rules in the streets made by small and aggressive groups. Extremist forces in mosques, Arab tribes or criminal groups will have the opportunity to strengthen and consolidate their position further, as long as Germany does not confront with this issue inside the country.”

These are parts of the author’s analysis in German Die Welt Newspaper. It shows that the author does not even have a liberal view of values ​​such as cultural, religious pluralism, etc.

One of the principles that liberalism boasts of it is the pluralistic understanding of identity, religion and culture that has been driven through freedom.

Liberal freedom, as also emphasized by Karl Raimund Popper, is limited only when it threatens another individual’s freedom.

Criticizing the pluralistic identities of German and international society, however, the author of the article shows that he not only does not respect values of pluralism but also he is very close to his ancestors such as Hitler and Mussolini ideologically, and even moves a few steps forward than them.

According to what liberalism claims, the circle of identity inclusion is very diverse in order to prevent plural identities to be marginalized and all identities have the possibility of occurrence in a pluralistic society. Principles and values such as freedom and the possibility of equal opportunities are based in the claim of this school. But the author in a fascist approach limits the scope of identity inclusion to a particular race and culture revealing the 21st century.

The author based on his poisonous approach says: “I have a similar impression of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this case, Germany also has to decide whether it is going to let the criminal Islamist to continue or help them to integrate with liberal western society. But in this regard Germany acts against the West, democracy, human rights, women’s rights, homosexual rights, freedom of opinion, freedom of expression, press freedom, and inadvertently in the interests of Russia, China, North Korea and extremist Shia Islamists.”

The logic of the author is undeniably the same as emphasized in the school of liberalism: the virtue of Western values.

In fact, the author does not recognize that each group of identities has its own cultural, religious values. Regardless of the reasons for the migration, even if we accept the author’s logic, one of the reasons that these identities are not integrated in the origin is type of policy taken by destination.

If the destination countries had emphasized on values of pluralism, there was no need to insist on unifying identities and integration in their own societies. In fact, this is denial of people’s identity which its results are obvious in the West and in countries such as France and Germany.

The emphasis on integrating itself is a kind of fascist attitude that believes in superiority of a particular identity and values over the others. Radical acts of some immigrants in destination societies is the result of such fascist attitude. interestingly these immigrants and those who are legally entering these countries have been evaluated and qualified by these destination communities and their values.

Here are some questions:

Are there equal opportunities for immigrants in these communities? Are they freely able to maintain their religious, cultural and other identities? Are there cultural, religious pluralism, which are also the values of liberalism and the emphasis of this school?

Is there any difference between ISIS thoughts and the author’s thought who believes in superiority of his own identity over the others’?

The author of Die Welt Newspaper says, “It is not matter what the US president’s beliefs are or what mistakes were made by President Bush in Iraq in the past. The issue is about stabilizing the Middle East in order to protect Germany’s internal security. But it will not be possible as far as the Iranians expand their influence and some Muslims are still being harassed and killed by other Muslims. If they can, they will run away.”

The author ignores foreign interference in the Middle East, and he believes all the faults are with the inhabitants of these countries. It seems that the author does not know that one of the reasons and justifications that these terrorists resort to justify their acts is presence of foreign forces in the Muslims regions. It seems that he has not even heard the lectures of ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Of course, it’s good for him to study the background and the reasons behind the formation of these groups!

The author, whose analysis seems to be ordered by Saudis and the Zionists, ultimately recommends the German government to clearly oppose and confront Iran instead of sending congratulations because of security issues and maintaining the alliance of the West.

Even if we accept that the logic of the author is right , the author is suggested to have a look at German’s selling weapons to countries such as Saudi Arabia engaged in the massacre of the Yemeni people and carry out the heinous massacres of human beings under the support of Western countries. Of course, since the lives of the Yemeni people are not as valuable as those of the Westerners and as they don’t have blue eyes, they are definitely not human in authors’ opinion.

The Pakistani delegation headed by Imran Khan visited the holy shrine of the 8th Imam of Shias on Sunday afternoon, followed by a meeting with Hojjatolesm Marvi as the new custodian of Imam Reza holy shrine.

In the meeting with the Pakistani premier, Hojjatolesm Marvi praised the people of Pakistan for preserving their Islamic beliefs, saying that the Pakistanis’ interest in Iran’s Islamic Revolution and its founder Late Imam Khomeini lay the ground for expanding bilateral relations between the two nations.

Marvi referred to the Pakistani pilgrims who travel to Mashhad to visit Imam Reza holy shrine, saying that the shrine authorities will spare no efforts in coordinating with the Iranian foreign ministry to facilitate the pilgrimages of the Pakistanis in the holy Iranian city.

The newly-appointed custodian of Imam Reza Shrine went on to underline that strengthening Iran-Pakistan similarities would neutralize enemies’ plots against the unity of the two nations.
