Islamic Solidarity in the viewpoints and Practices of Shahid Nawab Safavi

The political-religious activities of Fadaiyan-e Islam group- led by Shahid Nawab Safavi for creating cohesion among Muslims- are outstanding among alternative activities. This issue increases in importance once Shiite fundamentalism approaches Sunni fundamentalism and the situation for theoretical and practical cooperation between both sects isimproved.During the time when Arab nationalism had dominated Palestine and the Muslim Brotherhood movement was known as a fundamentalist movement with a Sunni radical approach, the Fadaiyan-e Islam group, led by a young clergy named Mojtaba Nawab Safavi, could change the structure of those movements with their Shiite ideological approaches. They could achieve this because they put aside Sunni-Shiite ideological controversial issues and emphasized on the commonalities in such a way that most of the Islamic denominations were attracted to them.Fadaiyan-e Islam group, with their activities including reaction toIsrael’s existence announcement, participating in Islamic conferences,cooperating with Palestinian fighters, getting familiar with the ideas andgoals of Muslim Brotherhood movement all indicate that Fadaiyan-e Islamand Nawab Safavi were following the path of Islamic unity and cooperationwith the world of Islam as one of their fundamental objectives.
