The  Euro zone suffers from economic problems. Iran has some internal and  external sever problems as well. Poverty, corruption, unemployment and  inflation have affected millions in Iran. <\/p>\n<p>The prominent Sunni  scholar further said, &#8216;Due to unprecedented poverty and high prices,  corruption and bribery have destroyed the economy of Iran. Political  disputes divided the power-enjoying wings. On the other hand, imposing  sanctions by the international community and some particular states is  another headache for both the government and common citizens.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Shaikh  added more saying that threats to target nuclear sites of Iran is a  problem for all. People are worried overt it. So, like other individuals  we have ideas to get rid of these crises. &#8216;We do not believe in  defaming particular individuals and sides. We never blamed on any one  without evidence. Calumniating is not our method; but some elements  vilify us and insult Sunnis lucidly, it is contrary to the valuable  Islamic teachings,&#8217; he urged.<\/p>\n<p>The rector of the biggest Sunni  seminary in Iran went on saying that the rulers can not overcome the  crises until they listen to their critics, how much they can be small in  number. The only remedy is national unity; unity can not be achieved  without open dialogue and negotiations with all juntas and groups.  Ignoring any community may affect our unity and peace.<\/p>\n<p>Shaikh  Abdul Hameed emphasized that whatever he says is based on compassion for  all. The Iranian nation is a civilized nation with a brilliant history.  They want to enjoy a durable peace and comfortable life. <\/p>\n<p>He  criticized the weak role of ongoing parliament and said that people want  responsible and sincere representatives who can insure their legal  rights and become their voice. The rulers must give opportunity to  figures of all groups and backgrounds to take part in the elections.  They should not be afraid of their rejection by the Supreme Council. <\/p>\n<p>Mawlana  Abdul Hameed pointed that for overcoming the problems we need a  powerful parliament with the representatives from all wings. The  competition must not be among any specific party or wing. A free and  safe national election can help the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khateeb of the Sunni community in Zahedan, Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdul Hameed Ismaeelzahi called the ruling elements in Iran to hold a nation-wide dialogue for overcoming the internal and external crises in his Friday speech on 16th December, 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
