The website of the office of the Friday imam of Sunnis in Zahedan reported Shaikh Abdol-Hamid on Friday Sep. 09, 2017 alluded to his recent letter to the supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his response, saying: \u201cI had clarified in my letter to the leader of the revolution that Iranian Sunnis love their country and they have been loyal to the Islamic Republic.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI also pointed out to discriminations, inequalities and limitations for Sunni worshipers in some metropolises and lack of religious freedoms. I had just demanded the supreme leader to issue a distinguishing historical order to end the anxieties of every race and sect, especially the Sunni community in Iran,\u201d he added more.<\/p>\n
Mawlana Abdol-Hamid alluded to the response of the leader and said: \u201cThe supreme leader, in his short and meaningful message, obligated all elements of the Islamic Republic regime to avoid discriminations and differentiating between Iranians from any race, faith and sect. rather they should implement justice.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe supreme leader has forbidden all authorities from imposing any ethnic and religious discrimination. He has ordered the officials to behave with the Iranian nation equally and remove differences in polices,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n
The most influential Iranian Sunni scholar called the letter of the supreme leader \u201cvery valuable, comprehensive and happy news\u201d for the Iranian Sunni community. He said: \u201cThe words of the supreme leader got a vast coverage in interior and foreign media and many of them analyzed his words.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe leader has relayed on the religious teachings and the Constitution; according to Islam there is no difference between people of any race and faith. While the Constitution urges on equal rights of all Iranians, but regretfully many authorities avoid to implement the Constitution by the excuse that they are \u2018under pressure\u2019 and they act as their wishes,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n
The rector of Darululoom Zahedan termed the message of the leader \u201cend of discrimination and law violation\u201d, saying: \u201cThe supreme leader has closed the door of all discriminations, law violations and imposing illegal laws. After this historical order, no excuse can be accepted from any civilian or military officials. No one can put pressure on the authorities; because the order of the first person of the state, the Constitution and as the leader said \u201cthe Islamic teachings\u201d are standards in all affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis historical order should be installed in all offices of the authorities and elements of the Islamic Republic in the form of a frame. This order has finished the anxieties of Iranians that will end poverty and discord which are the fruits of discrimination. It enhances national solidarity and unity. Execution of Justice brings unity better than any conference,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid underlined.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe leader has clarified everything; nothing is unclear now. The authorities should be determined to uproot discrimination\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mawlana Abdol-Hamid went on pointing to the recent statement of president Rouhani about removing discrimination between Shias and Sunnis and said: \u201cThe respectable president has recently said that when Sunnis give taxes, go for military service and active in all fields, it is inappropriate to behave with them discriminately. He has denounced even those who think of discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Friday prayer leader said: \u201cWhen our children go for military service, it is their right to be engaged as official cadre and staff in the armed forces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muslims in the world should boycott the government of Myanmar standing together against it,\u201d Mawlana Abdol-Hamid emphasized.<\/p>\n He addressed the Muslim leaders and rulers: \u201cThe Muslim states should shut down the embassies and representations of Myanmar in their countries excluding all diplomates of Myanmar.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe UN, Security Council and Human Rights Watch should act against Myanmar widely to forbid this country from cruelty and crimes against Muslims,\u201d the rector of Darululoom Zahedan added more.<\/p>\n He concluded his points by saying: \u201cAll sides who oppose crimes and insecurity should stand against the Myanmar government.
