Panahian: We should make irreligion equal to ignorance/not wearing hijab hurts others

Sheikh Alireza Panahian:

We considered the hijab as a moral matter and our audience understood that the hijab is an unrealistic matter, not having the hijab hurts others, and this means that the hijab is a moral matter, and I do not make a moral judgment about someone who does not wear a hijab. We are tasked with piety and we must avoid wrong actions, the promotion of piety is very different from the promotion of morality. If our preaching approach is such that the audience gets religious hatred, the missionary is to blame.

We must make atheism equal to ignorance, the Christian Middle Ages made people think that religion is an illusion and consider religion only as a matter of value.
