Muslim Scholars Commission in Iraq announces solidarity with Damascus

The Muslim Scholars Commission in Iraq voiced solidarity with Syria before what it descried as American pressures which it considered as a scheme to destroy the Arab and Islamic states.

The commission said it follows up with great concern "the oppressive and unjustified American pressures and accusations against Syria." The commission, which is the most important group for the Arab Sunnis in Iraq considered the accusations against syria as "hiding behind it a project to destroying the Arab and Islamic states one by one. "

A statement by the commission called on the "Arab and Islamic states and all liberals in the world to stand before the pressures made by he American administration and its supporters before what happened in Iraq would happen in Syria."

The Muslim Scholars Commission in Iraq appealed to Saad al-Hariri, the son of the former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri, not to "permit using his father's blood as a pretext to damage a sisterly country, that the family of al-Hariri, nor Lebanon has no interest in damaging it."
