Dr Kalim Siddiqui was a strong supporter of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. He saw it as the first break Muslims had achieved in contemporary history after a long period of colonial subjugation. He urged Muslims to rise above their sectarian differences and support the Islamic Republic.
While the US-zionist-Arabian led war on Iran has failed militarily, it has inflicted immense suffering on ordinary civilians and destroyed much infrastructure in Iran. These constitute war crimes. The perpetrators must be held accountable for these crimes.
