(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Speaking to us, Allamah Seyed Ali Fazlallah, the son of the Late Lebanese Shiite cleric Allamah Seyed Mohammad Hossein Fazlallah, said that the US troops' Quran burning demonstrated their hidden hatred for Muslims and unveiled that enemies of the world of Islam are deeply fearful of Muslims' honor and power.
"These individuals have indeed insulted Islam by their insult to the Holy Quran which is a major sanctity and the basis of the Muslims' unity and the symbol of power and life," Seyed Ali Fazlallah added.
He called for Muslims' reaction to such provocative act, and noted, "Muslims should adopt a united stance against such offenses. This has not been the first time that the Holy Quran was burnt. Such incidents have taken place more than once in the US and other (western) countries."
Angry Muslims, in Afghanistan and throughout the Muslim world, have staged increasing protests against the US insult to their religion in massive rallies.
At least 25 people have been martyred and hundreds have been wounded in protests against the desecration of the Holy Quran in Afghanistan since it first emerged that copies of Quran and religious materials had been thrown into a fire pit used to burn garbage at Bagram Air Field.
Americans have set fire to the copies of the Holy Quran on several occasions thus far.
