Hajj Pilgrims Urged To Boycott US, French Goods

Tehran, Oct 23, IRNA -- Secretary General of the Ahlul Bayt (AS) World Assembly Hojjatoleslam Mohammad Hassan Akhtari called on Hajj pilgrims Monday to boycott both the US and French goods. Akhtari urged Muslim pilgrims to stop buying US and French made goods in order to express their outrage at the latest anti-Islam film that insulted Muslims' beloved Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Boycotting the US and French goods by Muslims would be a slap on the faces of those who made such blasphemous act, said the cleric. He described Hajj ceremonies as an opportunity for Muslims to cry out their protests against the blasphemous move./end
