El-Khalidi said, “The ruling of picking up arms against ISIS – issued by the Shia Muslim Supreme Religious Authority – has established peace and security in Iraq, and it has a great role in solving Iraq’s domestic problems.”
He added that the Shia Muslim Supreme Religious Authority enjoys a great reputation in the Scandinavian countries and the United Nations Organization.
He then mentioned that the TV channels and radio stations of Imam Hussein Shrine play a significant role in spreading the message of Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him) to the whole world.
He concluded his speech by saying that he is still visiting countries around the world, and visiting Iraq – for him – has a special taste, for Iraq has shrines and archeological sites, in addition to men who rescued Iraq and achieved victory.
