Iran: Blasphemy does not warrant assassination of ambassadors
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Sept 16, IRNA -- Iran said on Sunday that sacrilege of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) does not warrant deaths of ambassadors.
Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Mohammad-Ali Jafari condemned desecration of the Islamic sanctities in the United States and said the blasphemy does not warrant terror and assassination of ambassadors.
He told reporters, although the US-made anti-Islam film sparked anti-US and anti-Zionist sentiments worldwide, but the protesters could take their outcry to the embassy not to assassinate ambassadors.
The IRGC coomander said that the Muslim individuals never blaspheme Christianity or Jewish religion.
Jaffari said such sacrilege is definitely a pre-planned scheme by US-Zionist circles but continuation of such actions will bring repercussions in the Muslim world in line with aspirations of the Islamic Revolution.
