Iran Press/ Iran News: People and seminary students in Qom stage a protest in the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (as), condemning the insulting of the French publication to the Islamic sanctities and high religious authority(Marja).
This protest rally was held on Sunday with a large presence of people, seminary students, professors of Qom seminaries, and political, religious, national, and military figures.
Speaking as the keynote speaker in the protest of prominent clerics and Islamic scholars in the Holy city of Qom against the notorious Charlie Hebdo French Magazine Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami, a representative of the Assembly of Experts and Tehran provisional Friday Prayer Leader Said:
The message of this gathering to the world is that the leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran is Ayatollah Imam Khamenei and just as the people of Qom are pioneers in supporting high religious authority(Marjas), in the past four decades they have always supported the Islamic State and ideals and This is also to be continued from now on as well.
Ayatollah Khatami further added: Our problem in this community is not insulting on behalf of bankrupt and small magazine; Rather, the problem is that all the arrogance and enemies of the Islamic Revolution are standing against Islamic Iran with all their powers and tools.
The representative of the Assembly of Experts stated: The combined war that they have launched against the Islamic Revolution today is not unprecedented. Rather, since the beginning of Islam, it has been such a combined war and it will continue until the Day of judgment.
It should be noted that Charlie Hebdo published an insulting cartoon insulting the Islamic religious authority in the latest issue, and the move has met with a wave of anger and protest among the people of Iran.
Foreign seminary students also had a large presence in the rally condemning the insulting of the French publication to Islamic authority.
"Charlie Hebdo" magazine recently held a contest with the aim of publishing caricatures offensive to religious and political Iranian authorities, which has brought many criticisms to this magazine as well as the French policy in the field of what it calls freedom of expression.
