The powerful and resistant nation of Lebanon has demonstrated the unity of the world of Islam and Christianity and the unity of the followers of Prophet Moses, he said, reiterating that Lebanon today is a symbol of the unity of followers of divine and heavenly religions.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Aboutorabi Fard pointed to the excessive demands of the Western countries and said that if Muslims don't stand against the excessive demands of the West, they [Western countries] will exert their pressures on Muslims and will prevent consolidation of religious and cultural bonds.
