To the enemy there isn't any difference between Shiite and Sunni
On 4 May 2015 Ayetollah Hamanei while commending the congress for commemorating the martyrs of the Kurdish Muslim Peshmerga, the Leader maintained that the enemy’s policies in employing the elements of “ethnicit” and “sect” to disrupt the security in the Kurdistan Region and turning this region against the Islamic Revolution have completely failed.
The Leader, however, stressed that the enemy could not use “ethnic provocations” against the Kurds, but some countries are seeking to incite religious prejudices and differences among the Shias and Sunnis and some others become involved in these plots due to ignorance.
Referring to Britain’s long history in attempting to split Shias and Sunnis for its own benefits, Ayatollah Khamenei then raised the current case of the US Congress bill under the pretext of supporting the Sunnis in Iraq, calling into question the Americans’ sincerity in their alleged benevolence for Iraqi Sunnis.
“The US is against anything that bears the smallest traces of Islam. For them, there is no difference between Shias and Sunnis, and they only use religious sects and ethnicity as a pretext to create division.” the Leader concluded. (ILKHA)
