Elewi calls Friday prayers’ Imams in Anbar, Mosul to avoid sectarian rhetoric

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP Karim Elewi of the Iraqi National Alliance called on the orators of Friday prayers sermons in Mosul, Anbar and Salah il-Din provinces to move away from the sectarian rhetoric.

Elewi said “The so called (The Syrian Free Army) started to expand at Iraq’s western region alongside borders with Syria, exploiting the unstable situation there due to the demonstrations to implement foreign agendas that aim to destabilize the security posture and overthrow the political process.”

“The demonstrations in the western provinces started to arouse major worries especially when raising sectarian slogans which demonstrate that these protests are supported by foreign agendas,” he added.

Elewi reminded the “Imams of Friday prayers to be aware of these malicious schemes since the government is eager to meet the legitimate demands of the demonstrators.”
