Speaking in a Wednesday meeting with Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Jaberi Ansari in Beirut, Qabalan referred to the Islamic Republic of Iran as a guarantee for the Muslim world and a chain linking Islamic societies to each other.

“While others have left the scene, we pin our hope on the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he added.

In turn, Jaberi Ansari commemorated Imam Musa al-Sadr, the founder of the SISC, and praised the valuable role and position of Sheikh Qabalan in continuing the Council’s noble path.

Iran’s Persepolis Shares Spoils with Saudi Side in ACL Quarters

A late equaliser by substitute Godwin Mensha saw Persepolis come from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli in the first leg of their 2017 AFC Champions League quarter-final match held in Muscat, Oman.

Al Ahli took the lead after just two minutes at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex when Omar Al Soma slotted home the rebound after Persepolis keeper Alireza Beiranvand parried a shot from Saleh Al Jamaan into the Syrian striker’s path.

Shortly before the hour, recent signing Leonardo da Silva made it 2-0 for the Jeddah-based side by finishing off a pass from Al Jamaan with aplomb, before Persepolis pulled one back in the 72nd minute after Shojae Khalilzadeh headed home from close in.

With just six minutes remaining, Nigerian Mensha fired past Mohammed Al Owais in the Al Ahli goal to cap an excellent comeback for Persepolis and leave the tie firmly in the balance ahead of the second leg in Abu Dhabi in three weeks’ time.

Following the match, Persepolis coach Branko Ivankovic said that he is content with his team’s performance against Al Ahli.

“I am happy because we came back from two goals down. Now, we have a chance to book a place in the competition’s semis,” Branko said in the post-match news conference.

“As I’ve already said, Al Ahli is a dangerous team and takes advantage of players like Omar Al Soma and Leonardo da Silva,” the Croat added.

“I would like to thank my players because they didn’t lost their concentration after receiving two goals. I hope we defeat Al Ahli in the second leg,” Branko concluded.

The Iranian giant will face Al Ahli three weeks later in the second leg in Abu Dhabi.

Lebanon’s Grand Mufti Blasts Muslim World’s Silence on Israeli Crimes

In a Wednesday meeting with an Iranian diplomat in Beirut, Sheikh Derian referred to the Israeli regime as one of the major dangers threatening the Muslim world, and said, “Unity and solidarity among followers of Islamic sects and regional countries is the [only] way to counter these threats.”

“Our brothers and sisters in Palestine and al-Quds are under the Zionist regime’s inhumane attacks while, unfortunately, we in Islamic countries are busy with our disagreements,” the top Sunni cleric went on to say.

“The terrorist and Takfiri groups seek to remove and exclude others, and intend to spoil the bright face of Islam and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through their dark thoughts and actions,” he warned.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Jaberi Ansari, for his part, said two major dangers are currently threatening the Muslim world and regional countries.

“The first danger is the old threat of the Zionist regime and its state-sponsored terrorism, and the second one is terrorist and Takfiri [extremist] groups,” the Iranian diplomat noted, highlighting the great responsibility of top clerics in countering both threats.

Charlie Hebdo Once Again Provokes Anger among Muslims

The cartoon depicts two people lying on the ground in a pool of blood after having been run over by a white van with the caption “Islam is a religion of peace….. eternal.”

Critics including Muslims and non-Muslims have seen the cartoon as suggesting Islam is an inherently violent religion.

Some of the leading magazines across the world have blamed Charlie Hebdo for publishing the cartoon, arguing that Charlie Hebdo has gone too far as the drawing was “Islamophobic”, “racist” and “revolting”. They say unlike what the staff of Charlie Hebdo maintains, such cartoons only hurt freedom of expression.

Even some of French politicians slammed Charlie Hebdo. Socialist MP Stephane Le Foll called the cartoon “extremely dangerous” and warned such association of ideas between Islam being a religion of peace and the violence of the attack could be used by others.

“When you’re a journalist you need to exercise restraint because making these associations can be used by other people,” he said.

In an editorial, Charlie Hebdo’s editor Laurent Sourisseau explained his editorial choice by saying experts and policy-makers are avoiding asking hard questions out of concern for moderate Muslims. “The debates and questions about the role of religion and in particular the role of Islam in these attacks have completely disappeared,” he added.

The magazine, notorious for its provocative and politically incorrect stance, regularly mocks religions including Islam.

In January 2015, Charlie Hebdo was the target of a terror attack. Two gunmen walked into the magazine’s offices in Paris and opened fire, killing 12. The magazine had previously published a number of controversial caricatures of the prophet of Islam.

Drug Traffickers in Iran Swallow 1.8kg of Opium

“The three narco-traffickers were under police surveillance when they set off on a trip to one of the southern provinces,” said Colonel Hadi Qazvine’I, the drug enforcement chief of Iran’s Hamadan province.

“After reviewing the available information, police found out that the drug traffickers intended to take the narcotics to Malayer by swallowing them,” said the colonel, according to a Farsi report by Khabar Online.

“The smugglers wanted to distribute the drugs in Malayer, buy they were arrested by drug enforcement police Monday afternoon before they arrived in the city,” he said.

They were taken to hospital where x-rays were taken of their stomachs, he noted, adding that the results showed drugs in small packs inside.

“After the drugs were excreted from their bodies, it became clear that each one of them had swallowed around 600 grammes of opium,” he said.

The colonel noted that swallowing is one of the old and very dangerous methods of smuggling illicit drugs.

“As long as narcotics are inside the smugglers’ stomachs, they mustn’t eat or drink anything because eating and drinking will prompt peptic acid secretion, which wrecks the packaging of the drugs.”

“If the packaging of the narcotics inside the stomach is destroyed, the smuggler is sure to die if his/her stomach is not washed out by a doctor promptly,” said the top police official.

It is noteworthy that over three tonnes of narcotics have been seized in Hamadan in the past five months.

Gadget Developed to Connect Mobile Phones to Optical Devices

Mohammad Sabouri, an Iranian inventor, has developed an adaptor used to connect different types of mobile phones and tablets to microscopes, telescopes and various kinds of optical devices.

The innovation can turn gadgets into cameras, and has applications in medicine or other sciences where the naked eye is used to see, according to a Farsi report by Tasnim.

The innovated adaptor is installed next to the optical device and turns mobile phones and tablets into gadgets capable of taking photos or making films, which could be shared accordingly.

When optical devices are used, says the innovator, only one person is capable of seeing the scene from behind the ocular lens. But in some cases, it is possible to share the scene with others through the optical device.

“The scene could be anything from a microscope slide to celestial bodies,” he said.

He said the gadget he has innovated makes it possible for mobile phones or tablets to be installed next to optical devices and record films or take pictures after being adjusted to the required settings.

He claims his innovation is the first of its kind as no similar device had been developed until he devised the adaptor.
