Control of foreigners is dangerous for both Shia and Sunnite: Sheikh Saffar

SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association) – A renowned Shiite scholar of Saudi Arabia has declared the foreign domination and political dictatorship as real threat to both Shiite and Sunnite sects.

Sheikh Saffar, the Friday prayer leader of Saudi Arabia’s Shiite based province Qateef, said that the reality is that neither Ahl-e-Sunnah is a threat to Shiite nor Shiite is threat to Ahl-e-Sunnah, but political dictatorship and occupation and possession of foreigners is considered as a mutual threat for both Shiite and Sunnite sects.

The Shiite scholar of Saudi Arabia, while expressing grief on the organization of seminars to force dispute among Shiite and Sunnite, said that promotion of intimidation culture will lead to the disagreement of people with each other, and that will injure the true outcome( that comes in the form of brotherhood).

He added that real threat for Shiite and Sunnite is lack of learning, increased poverty and unemployment and lack of public services in Islamic countries.

Hassan Saffar, while condemning the organization of seminar to create dispute among Shiite and Sunnite, said that these actions are considered as the culture of intimidation.
