TEHRAN (IQNA) – Secretary General of Lebanon’s Islamic Tawhid Movement called the Zionist regime of Israel and the United States as the biggest enemies of Muslims.

Addressing the closing ceremony of the 29th international Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran, Sheikh Bilal Saeed Shaban underlined the need for unity among Muslims to stand up against the conspiracies hatched by Israel and the US.

He further deplored the conflicts in part of the Muslim world and said those who kill their fellow Muslims cannot be considered followers of Islam, which is a religion of peace, justice and compassion.

Sheikh Shaban also described the Islamic Republic of Iran as the symbol and role model of Islamic and religious unity, noting that followers of different Islamic schools of thought as well as other faiths live peacefully together in the country and have together stood up against world powers.
