“If anyone insults the Islamic sanctities, Islam has permitted for his blood to be spilled, no court needed either” – Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi
Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi is the principal theoretician of Islamic fundamentalism in Iran. President Khatami once called him the “theoretician of violence.” Mesbah Yazdi believes that “If anyone insults the Islamic sanctities, Islam has permitted for his blood to be spilled, no court needed either”.
But, today Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi is opening a new center for Shia Studies at Durham University in Great Britain.
Azarmehr reports this and other cleric news:
Durham university is in the process of opening a new centre for Shii Studies with financial support from Mesbah Yazdi. An Ayatollah whose statement “If anyone insults the Islamic sanctities, Islam has permitted for his blood to be spilled, no court needed either” made headline news in Iran, is funding a British university!
So far two ex-diplomat/current smuggler/terrorists, who studied at Durham University have been arrested. Professor Anoushirvan Ehteshami, a British-Iranian academic who has been based at Durham for years, is the facilitator for absorbing Islamic Republic officials into Durham university as students.
