The Iraqi Sunni cleric added, “Imam Khomeyni was a great man who emerged with the divine concept of helping the oppressed people of the world and defending Islamic unity and Muslims.

The Islamic ummah expects him to give the most support to the weak and oppressed whom the oppressors abuse and to keep them out of the grip of the Zionist regime so that they can their normal life just like other people.”
