*  There must be a great and public awareness to stop the sale of weapons, and to stop the rise of politicians working to spread destruction.

His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) welcomed a number of members of the European Parliament MEP delegation, along with a number of advisors, researchers, and politicians, led by the member of the European Parliament, Mr. Mick Wallace, and Mr. Claire Daly.

His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) affirmed his welcome of the positions opposing the notorious interference policies in Iraq, the foremost of which was the occupation of Iraq and the domination of its capabilities, calling on in this regard the standing of civilized people - especially members of the European Union and their honorable public - with the oppressed and wronged peoples, indicating in this regard what is going on in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.

His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life)  stated that Najaf - along with the Sons of Iraq - removed and defeated the terrorism represented by Al Qaeda and ISIS, but that terrorism is still supported and continues to remain one of the forces of evil. This is because its existence is an offense to Islam, comparing in this regard between terrorism and atheism, saying: "The problem with terrorism is that their motto is Islam, while it is the religion of love, brotherhood, peace, and the rejection of extremism and atheism that offends the beliefs of all humankind."

In addition, His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) called on the European Union to take more effective stances in combating terrorism and preventing the spread of weapons and means of destruction that are the basis of woes on peoples, and indicated in this regard: “As representatives of your peoples, there must be a great public awareness and stopping the rise of the politicians who spread destruction."

For its part, the delegation expressed its thanks and gratitude for the good reception, stressing that his coming was like learning from the honorable Najaf authority, and realizing the importance of what the European Parliament should do towards Iraq and the peoples of the region.
