Muslims fear growth of Sunni-Shiite tension

Secretary-General of Association of Muslim Scholars Ali Al Kardaghi said the growth of Sunni-Shiite tension was the greatest fear of Muslims and added "this fear has worsened with the Iran's support to Assad regime and intervention of Hezbollah forces in Syria." In an official visit in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kardaghi said that as Association of Muslim Scholars, they were concerned about the escalating Sunni-Shiite tension in the region. Stressing that the association requested Iran's elected President Hassan Rowhani to take the proper steps in this regard, Kardaghi said, "I stated in my congratulatory letter that this is an incitement between Sunnis and Shiites, and no one gains any favor by starting a sectarian war. Both sides must strive for ending this corruption." Kardaghi, expressing that the growth of Sunni-Shiite tension was the greatest fear of Muslims, said "This fear has worsened with the Iran's support to Assad regime and intervention of Hezbollah forces in Syria." "I invite the scholars of both sides to cooperate. We can collaborate on agreed issues while ignoring the disagreed ones" Kardaghi said.
