Iran's Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi said earlier this week that it is " the duty of all Muslims to help stabilise Syria against the destructive plots of America and Israel." He is echoing the opinion of Iran's supreme ruler Ayatolla Khamenei, who considers himself to be the representative of Allah on earth and the deputy of the last Islamic messiah, Imam Mahdi. Khameni declared last spring that the protesters in Syria were “God’s enemies.”
