AFP - Iran's conservative-dominated parliament has slammed a Saudi Friday prayer leader, saying he insulted Iraq's top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali Husseini al-Sistani, newspapers reported on Monday.
A statement endorsed by 240 members of the 290-seat parliament urged the government in Sunni Saudi Arabia to launch legal action against Wahhabi cleric Mohammed al-Urifi for allegedly calling Sistani an "atheist and debauched."
Lebanon's militant Hezbollah in a statement has also slammed Urifi's Friday prayers sermon, saying: "We demand that the Saudi authorities control such sheikhs who ignite the flames of sectarian conflict."
The Iranian papers said Urifi "also launched an attack on Iraq's Shiites, accusing 65 percent of the country's population of conspiring with Yemen's Huthis against Saudi Arabia."
