Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei[/caption]Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Islam has ordered Muslims to treat the followers of other religions withfairness and justice.
What is seen in the world today is that powers and governments which claim to [advocate]fairness and justice do not observe any fairness and justice except within the boundsof their narrow,limitedand cruel policies, Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with representatives of religious minorities in Irans Parliament (Majlis).
The Leader pointed to the propaganda campaign against Muslims in Europe and the US and said, "What is at issue is not [the question] why the Muslims do not have the necessary freedom in most of these countries, but at issue is [the question] why theMuslims do not have any [sense of]physical safety."
Ayatollah Khamenei cited the Hollywood-made film,American Sniper,as an example and said it encouragesChristian or non-Muslim youngsters to harass the Muslims as much as possible.
Islam does not accept this approach, the Leader said, adding, Islam believes in fairness.
Ayatollah Khamenei stated that Imam Ali, the first Imam of the Shias, has said a Muslim would not be blamed if theydieof sadness over the harassment ofa non-Muslim in a Muslim country.
If a Muslim dies of this sadness, that person has died for the right cause, the Leader pointed out.
The Leader said young neo-Nazis have on several occasionsbeaten up and killedMuslims and damagedmosques with impunity.
Ayatollah Khamenei cited the instance ofyoung Arab Muslim girls who have beenbeaten up or evenkilled because of their hijab and nobody even botheredto investigate the issue.
The Leader added that similar cases also exist in other countries which claim to defend human rights, including the US.
Ayatollah Khamenei said after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, there is no record of aggressionby Muslims against non-Muslims.
