In English,
la'nat kardan is translated as 'to curse'.

At any rate, the Supreme Leader's fatwa as well as the the standpoint of other
maraje' including ones like Vahid Khorasani (whom British turban supporters at one point tried to portray as being on board with their malpractice, until he was interviewed about
la'ne 'alani and spoke out against it), cover both definitions of the term.
Read again what you quoted.
Because our ulema haven't been open about their positions on these issues? The whole point of inviting a Sunni speaker to a Shia Islamic Center is to uphold Islamic unity despite differences, which are overshadowed by commonalities.
Hamas didn't ditch Iran, they supported the opposite side during the Syrian war, essentially in a verbal manner but their relationship with Iran was never severed, relative ups and downs notwithstanding.
And the reason behind this choice of theirs has nothing to do with them being Sunni Moslems, the majority of the Syrian Arab Army's personnel has consisted of Sunni Moslems as well. Hamas' positioning had more to do with their political affiliations, and the wrong outlook of the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Also, since you seem to be adamant about precepts of religion, what is the
shari' sanction again for calling someone a prostitute without proof, namely how many lashes does it consist of?
This would be another self-contradicting statement. Indeed, Shaqaqi the Sunni Moslem.
Or rather three contradictions at once. For Imam Khomeini's (r.A.a.) ideology explicitly stressed Islamic unity (i.e. Shia-Sunni unity), and martyr Fathi Shaqaqi was a follower of this same ideology of unity.

Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran enjoys many characteristics that differentiate him from other world leaders.

We can also cite our heroic martyr hajj Qasem Soleimani, who stated that if a Shia Islamic movement was to make its appearance in Occupied Palestine, he will not be supporting it. That he is only going to work with organizations staffed by Sunnis in Palestine.
So, all these references are worlds apart from the discourse you've expressed about Sunni Moslems. There's simply no way to combine a Shirazi-style take on Sunni Islam with adherence to the principles of the Islamic Revolution. They're fundamentally antinomic.
You misunderstood me. I was denouncing an infiltration tactic employed by Shirazis, in an attempt to influence and misguide
bache Hezbollahis. Yaser al-Habib's problematic narratives have achieved nothing but to feed the enemies of the Islamic Revolution, both domestic and foreign.
And illegitimately issuing takfir against Sunni Moslems, other than being in breach of Islamic rules, will somehow "help" expanding Iranian assistance to the Palestinian Resistance composed of Sunnis. Mass-killings of Sunni Moslems in Iran "probably too". If you cannot see the absurdity of these propositions, then you're lost in cognitive constructs.
We have no right to dismiss Islamic guidelines on takfir. And there are no grounds for takfir against Sunni brothers in Islam, because no
marja' subscribes to such a notion.
Regarding a hadith as truthful is one thing, the way in which it is interpreted is another. Literal interpretation is not the only existing type of
tafsir'. Most heavyweight traditional Sunni scholars won't operate a literal reading of the hadith.
Anti-Shia takfiris have resorted to the exact same faulty method to twist the meaning of multiple Shia Islamic sources and falsely ascribe grotesque beliefs to Shia Moslems.
There's no self-censorship in the Shia
marja'iat on this topic. Individuals like Yaser al-Habib are offering the type of hogwash their foreign sponsors expect them offer, in accordance with their sinister agenda for the Islamic world.
Yet, in your preceding posts you advocate this sort of conduct vis à vis Sunni Moslems in Iran and in neighboring countries:
Which would be no better than the treacherous murder of the Five Shia clerics you're comparing it to. And actually exceeds the latter multiple times in scope. Thus I'm not exactly the one one who's been spinning anything around.
As for Safavid rulers and to repeat, they didn't kill those people because they were Sunni, but because of internal and external conflicts of political nature.
Not really, it's unrelated to my statement though.
Hence why I highlighted that one will find all kinds of episodes in the history of Shia-Sunni relations. Your discourse however conveys the notion that it was exclusively one of conflict and animosity, which is incorrect.
So the Ahlol Beyt (a.s.) took issue not with
taquti potentates but with Sunni Moslems as a whole? Their practices consisted in trying to eradicate Sunni Islam through the use of force, torture, warfare, demographic planning? Review your sources.
When you obfuscate the distribution of power and the general geostrategic picture throughout periods of history, you'll inevitably arrive at nonsensical conclusions.
In order to pretend that the overarching contemporary threat to Shia Moslems (and to Sunni Moslems as well, for that matter) does not stem from the zio-American empire but from Sunnis as such, one would be left with no more than two logically conceivable rhetoric subterfuges:
1) Denial of the zio-American hand in propping up takfiri terrorist groups and empowering them to conduct their mischief in the first place. Those believing this would be well advised to have a better look at the plethora of both hard and circumstantial evidence substantiating the fact.
2) Denial of where power and wealth is concentrated in today's world, and what parties will therefore constitute the potentially bigger threats. And the major resources aren't in the hands of a bunch of laughable takfiri goons.
It's noteworthy that Shirazi types share this outlook with pro-western liberals and exiled oppositionists of various political shades - all of them will go out of their way trying to whitewash the leading role of NATO and the zionists in generating the terrorist grouplets which have been causing trouble in our region and beyond.
Adressed this already.

Next time stick with grand ayatAllah Sistani, rather than putting trust in questionable London-based preachers who emulate extremist wahhabis in stirring fitna between Moslems.
And in the Shia world it made its appearance under the Safavids.
Nobody except for the presenter who invited pilgrims to do so on one of the Shirazi clan's numerous satellite broadcasters.

And established ulema don't let British-sponsored preachers bend Shia tradition to endanger Islamic unity.
Because when someone does wrong including in their language, it doesn't entitle us to follow suit. The use of profanity, especially in this kind of framework, isn't conforming to Islamic
akhlaq.
I don't remember speaking of
moftkhori, nor accusing the Islamic Republic thereof.
Well, it seems you need to start learning Persian a.s.a.p. Because the question of hejab in pre-Islamic times has been discussed quite often on Iranian national television and other media.
Islamic Iran will never stoop to "I"SIS' level because Islamic Iran is no NATO / zionist proxy.
...I kind of see why the turks are angry although of course, I don't support them in the least.
