“If anyone fuels the fire in this regard (the so-called fight against the ISIL), he or she will definitely be helping sinister America and Britain which are the creators of the ISIL and al-Qaeda,” the Leader further said in a meeting with people from different walks of life on Monday.

Ayatollah Khamenei urged Muslims not to get involved in any move that would play into enemies’ hands.

“Shias and Sunni shouldn’t help the enemy by desecrating their sanctities and provoking one another’s sentiments,” the Leader underlined.

Ayatollah Khamenei added all enemy efforts including their divisive plots against Iran over the past thirty five years have failed.

The enemies of Islam have always sought to drive a wedge between Shias and Sunnis in order to deflect their attention from the real enemy, the Leader underlined.
