Iran: A Sunni clergy was guned down in Piranshahr

azim_abad_iranNCRI – A Sunni clergy, Abu-Baker Qaderiani was guned down by two unknown gunmen outside his house in the northwestern city of Piranshahr.

In similar attempt, Abu-Baker Tina another Sunni clergy was also killed in the northwestern city of Mahabad last week.

Salam a Sunni clergy was questioned by the members of the notorious Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) for declaring Tuesday as Eid ul-Fitr in the Kurdish city of Sardasht.

Eid ul-Fitr or Id-ul-Fitr, often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break the fast" (and can also mean "nature", from the word "fitrah"); and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated starting on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal.

Often the followers of other faiths are the subject of much persecution by the ruling mullahs in Iran.
Last month an entire theology school belonging to Sunni denomination was completely leveled by the State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.
 
The mullahs' inhuman regime leveled Abu Hanifa Sunni School of Theology on August 27, using bulldozers and other heavy building machinery in Azimabad, a suburb of the city of Zabol.
The school belonged to Sunni Muslims who are brutally suppressed by the Iranian regime since the early days of the clerical rule.
 
The SSF demolition units arrived at the school in the early morning hours and leveled all the buildings including a few mobile homes used by the summer students as sleeping quarters.

The SSF units also brought down a few donated houses by local residents providing much needed class rooms. 

Despite the mullahs hypocritical claim that they respect the Sunni followers of Islam when it comes to suppressing popular protests they are no different from the rest of the Iranian people.
