ZAKHO, Kurdistan region 'Iraq',
Association of Kurdish Muslim scholars
In the Name of God. The Most Compassionate and
Merciful
Today we witnessed a protest rally orchestrated by a
group of courageous Kurdish youths in the city of
Zakho, Kurdistan, North of Iraq, which culminated in
more than 47 fellow-citizens being injured. Some of
victims have been hospitalized and reportedly are in
life threatening situation. The demonstrators were
peaceful and only went on
rampage when Kurdish
security forces used tear gas and indiscriminately
opened fire on them in order to suppress their
voices.
We had sought prior permission to hold the
demonstration from concerned authorities. We had
earlier stated and submitted our demands to
Kurdistan Regional Parliament and his Excellency
President Massoud Barzani.
We have overtly called on Kurdistan Regional
Government to put a ban on sale of alcoholic
beverages and its illegal consumption in our
religious institutions.

Our universities have been turned into fornication
houses. Our children are indoctrinated unislamic, unethical,
pro-western values at schools. Our youths are being
led astray and menaced by the influence of western
expansionist culture. In the name of pioneering
democracy and intellectualism,www.ekurd.net
the puppet ruling regime has dragged the society
toward degeneration and is encouraging the removal
of religious clothing. The incumbent regime
continues to increase its direct interference into
religious affairs. They appoint Immams in masques
and dictate them what to proselytize. They strive to
constrain and enfeeble the role of Islam in Kurdish
society.
We staged today's protest rally to relay our
concerns and demands. We urge a pressing end to all
ongoing social, political and economic injustices.
