Last week Ayatollah Syed Mortada Al Qazwini was brutally attacked in the city of Karbala by a group of terrorists. He survived the attack and recently was transported outside of Iraq for additional treatment. We ask individuals of all faiths to pray for his fast recovery. We also strongly urge the United States government to increase security for the revered scholars in Iraq. The high-ranking Shia clerics in Iraq have been one of the main reasons why the country has been able to establish a government, and their safeguard is vital for the safety and prosperity of the Iraqi people.
The individuals that perpetrated this act are targeting the preachers of peace in attempt to create chaos in the country. These great scholars of Islam have worked hard to establish peace and justice in the nation and have put their lives endanger for the betterment of the world. The Islamic Information Center requests that all individuals across the world recognize the efforts of these great Scholars and the work they are doing to make a more peaceful world.
