It is the common belief of our nations in the region that we regard one another as sisters and brothers. We follow the words of God in the Quran: إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَة, indeed all believers are brothers.

MARYAM RAJAVI ADDRESSES “INTERFAITH SOLIDARITY AGAINST EXTREMISM”

Our call is to unite in solidarity, based on a strong foundation over which the overwhelming majority of Muslims concur. Ideologically, this foundation, which derives from the truth of Islam, is to deny religious compulsion and compulsory religion.

Politically, it is to stand up to the religious tyranny ruling Iran, which is the common enemy of all nations in the Middle East and is the epicenter of belligerence and export of fundamentalism to other countries in the region.

This is the “bond” and the word that can unite us: Rejection of religious compulsion and standing up to the Velayat-e Faqih regime in Iran.

Of course, we do not intend to overlook the very real differences existing among our nations in the region. Despite such differences, however, everyone believes that Islam does not approve of using force to impose an opinion or a religion.

 Once coercion, compulsion and vengeance are rejected, the prospect will arise for brotherhood and sisterhood - the historical and collective conscience of our nations - to spread.

Therefore, I call on all Muslims to unite in solidarity over this principle, over rejection of compulsory religion and religious compulsion.
