"Mr President, I would like to read something out to you: ‘Without doubt, he who carried out this divine ruling and made Muslims happy will be rewarded profusely in the Hereafter. The enemies of Islam should know that the free-hearted Muslims and zealous youths of Islam shall not let the world’s arrogant powers and international Zionism carry out their evil conspiracies and plots in order to insult Islam. They will punish the religion-mongers and those who betray their religion for their shameful acts. I extend my congratulations to all Muslims of the world, especially the zealous people of Azerbaijan, on the death of Rafiq Tagi, the apostate. Meanwhile, we honour the memory of the great religious authority, late grand Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani (may Allah bless him), who issued a decree on the lawfulness of spilling the blood of this atheist’. This was published on the website of Sheikh Fazel Lankarani on the morning of 28 November, after Rafiq Tagi was killed. I would like to say that, no, that is not the Islam that we defend in this Parliament. No, these are not the friends of Islam such as those whom we listened to at the Sakharov Prize award ceremony. If we are calling on the Iranian and Baku authorities to condemn this fatwa, I should also like to say that we here in Parliament wholeheartedly condemn this distortion of Islam, which we can read here and which we find elsewhere. We will always defend an Islam that is moderate and that respects freedoms. As far as the Azerbaijani authorities are concerned, there is of course nothing to suggest that they had any involvement in this murder. I expect them to issue a strong condemnation and to protect Mr Sedagatoğlu, who is also now in danger, too."@en1
