'Velayat-e faqih' ideology deludes Arab Shia: prominent cleric

(By Abdullah Al Ghadawi; Transation by Yusra Ahmed)

Prominent Shi'ite cleric Mohammed al-Husseini called on Arab Shiites to return to the Arab Nation and to leave the Iranian regime that deceives them and takes them away from their Arab identity in this this crucial time. 

Al-Husseini, in his talk to Zaman al-Wasl, said Arab Shiites, or Shi'a, should be loyal to their countries and nations only, not to the Velayat-e faqih (seigniory of Faqih) in Iran and no justification is accepted. 

The Shiite Scholar does not agree with the principle that Arab Shiites need to have their own entity and they should never think in that way, as any thought of that direction means treason to their countries and to the citizenship. 

Arab Shi'a are good citizens in their countries and they are integrated part of the social structure with Sunni and they should not think of detaching from their countries or seek loyalty to external nations and any deviation of that track should be treated as major treason” the Scholar confirmed his opinion. 

The Scholar warns Arab Shiites that their stability and security is guaranteed only in their countries and they should cooperate with their “brothers” in nationality beside being aware of the suspicious calls from the regime of Velayat-e faqih under claims of protecting minorities. 

“People in each Arab country, including Shiites have chosen a government and a regime to rule them, and all of them should be loyal to regimes of their countries not to the Velayat-e faqih, because that kind of regime has failed even in Iran” al-Husseini explained to Zaman al-Wasl.

The Scholar requests Arab Shiite and advises them to be aware of any institution claims protecting Shiites’ rights in their countries, because they all have suspicious fund and implement external agenda, and aim to destabilize the Arab countries. He demands them to do their duty to protect their nations in all means. 
The Shiite Scholar explained that the theme of the Arabic National Security was first identified in 1992’s Arab League Submit as: “the ability of the Arab Nation to defend its security, independently, sovereignty on its lands and to be able to improve the Arabs’ political, cultural and social potentials relying on military and diplomatic powers taking in account the National security needs for each country and the available abilities besides internal, international and regional changes which could affect the national security.”

Therefore, al-Husseini said that national Security has political, economical, social, educational, and environmental dimensions, which can be fulfilled by: realizing the internal and external threats, planning a strategy to develop the countries’ forces , building up the defense forces like army and police forces to face threats, and being ready for different bad scenarios.
