Desecration Of Holy Shrine, Heinous Crime: Jalal

New Delhi, May 8, IRNA – An Indian Shia religious scholar Tuesday termed the desecration of the holy shrine in Damascus, by western-backed terrorists, ˈa heinous crimeˈ. The holy shrine of Hazrat Hujr Bin Uday Al-Kindi, the companion of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), near Damascus, was desecrated by western-backed terrorists two-days ago. The terrorists not only destroyed Hazrat Hujr’s shrine but also exhumed his body. In an exclusive interview with IRNA, Syed Jalal Haider Naqvi, President of Shaheed Muttahhari Society in New Delhi said: ˈThe tyrants, desecrated the shrine of Hazrat Hujr, and their western supporters have shown their cowardice face.ˈ Destroying a holy grave and exhuming the body is a heinous crime against mankind. So, those involved in this shameful act can’t be called humans, he added. Blasting the desecration by western-backed terrorists, which has hurt the sentiments of Muslim world in particular and humanity in general, Naqvi asked the Muslim nations to wake up against this impudent and arrogant act. “The brutal terrorist attack is vicious violation of religious values and required strong condemnations and actions by world bodies,” concluded Jalal Haider./end
