Religious Authority Warns Against Legal Action to Preserve Civil Peace

The Religious Authority of the Druze Unitarian community released the following statement:

"Following unprecedented transgressions and overstepping boundaries by insulting religious symbols, trusted sheikhs, and dignitaries of the community, as well as the beliefs and traditions of the Unitarian faith, without any restraint from ethics or respect for laws and customs, the Religious Authority warns those offenders who engage in abuses via social media. Their audacity has reached the point of targeting the righteous predecessors among our senior Unitarian figures and the bearers of the wrapped turbans, who serve as role models in the recognized society and as legitimate references for the followers of the Unitarian path.

We urge and call upon them to cease following this destructive, planned course. We request that the state, through its judicial and security agencies, identify the perpetrators and prosecute them to preserve civil peace and to affirm adherence to the constitution, which mandates respect for religious laws and their symbols."
