The vast majority of Muslims—Sunnis and Shi‘is—support the Islamic Republic of Iran but not ideologically. Their support is based on issues: Islamic Iran’s call for Muslim unity or its support for the Palestinian resistance movement. Muslims need to mak the ideological leap.
In his continuing series, Mohamed Ousman differentiates support for the Islamic Resistance Axis with endorsement of the concept of Walayat al-Faqih. The two are very different in Islamic political discourse.
Why some Sunni scholars, even those otherwise known to be knowledgeable about the Qur’an, are unable to understand that the concept of Walayat al-Faqih is just as valid as the Khilafah that they yearn for. While the Khilafah remains a distant dream, the Walayat al-Faqih is a reality.
What Islamic Iran has achieved vis-à-vis the evil duo, the US and zionist Israel is spectacular. The mismatch in military hardware could not be greater yet Iran has defeated the evil duo and emerged as a new global power.
Islamic Iran has successfully leveraged geography by controlling the Strait of Hormuz and mobilized its masses on the basis of spiritual awakening. It is on the verge of expelling US forces from the region.
