Violence, extremism have no place in Islamic Establishment

First Vice President Aref

TEHRAN, (MNA) – Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref has said that violence and extremism have no place in the Islamic Establishment.

Speaking at the meeting of the headquarters for 1500th birthday anniversary of Holy Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad (S), he pointed to the Day of Unity between Seminary and University, stating that naming the Unity Day is deep rooted in the movement of founder of the Islamic Revolution the late Imam Khomeini (RA).

At this historical juncture, both seminary and the university in tandem with each other followed the guidelines and instructions of the late Imam Khomeini (RA), Aref underlined.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the vice president pointed to the oppressive US sanctions imposed against the country, stressing that the noble nation of Islamic Iran managed to overcome sanctions with their unity and amity.

Although sanctions cost dearly for the country in economic terms, these pressures brought about eye-catching advancements and progresses for the country, he said, adding that the country’s industry would not have achieved this level of progress if it weren’t for sanctions.  

He then pointed to the International Day of Violence and Extremism, emphasizing that violence and extremism have no place in Islam and the Islamic Establishment.
