JEDDAH — Saudi Hajj Minister Fouad al-Farsi told Iran not to politicise the hajj after Tehran leaders said Iranians could experience mistreatment during the annual pilgrimage, a report said on Wednesday.

Iran "should not take advantage of the pilgrimage for political purposes and its own agenda," Farsi was quoted as saying in the Al-Watan newspaper report.

Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently warned that Saudi Arabia, a predominantly Sunni Muslim country, might abuse the mainly Shiite Muslim pilgrims from Iran during the hajj, which begins in November.

Shah Gholam, Why are you

Shah Gholam,

Why are you silent about IRI mistreating Sunnis? How about IRI not giving them permission to build a mosque in Tehran? How about their genocides in Kurdistan and Balouchistan against the Sunnis?

Why are you silent about that? Tell us Shah Gholam!
