In a meeting with Mamousta Niazi Houramani, Religious consultant at Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), Hujjat al-Islam Arafi expressed his sorrow on the issue of Islamic division in present era and said, "Sadly, Islamic countries which count as many as 50 nations with over 1.5 billion population, with their vast economic and strategic resources do not hold a strong position regarding policymaking issues in global developments nowadays. If we as Islamic nations were logically united in our move forward, then Israeli regime would have no position in our region and no government would dare to attack Islamic territories,"
