TEHRAN (FNA)- Tehran's provisional Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said the popular uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan and Yemen signify creation of an Islamic Middle-East.
"Incidents that are happening in the Middle-East and the Arab world should not be regarded simply," Ayatollah Khatami said, addressing a large and fervent congregation of people on Tehran University campus.
"To those who do not see the realities I clarify that an Islamic Middle-East is being created based on Islam, religion, and democracy with prevailing religious principals," Ayatollah Khatami stressed.
He was referring to the recent historic revolution in Tunisia and massive protests in Egypt, Jordan, and Yemen.
Egypt's largest opposition group the Muslim Brotherhood on Thursday called on the country's people to continue protests.
Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Essam al-Arian warned that Egypt would "explode" if the government does not listen to the people.
Meantime, Police clamped down on anti-government protesters in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Friday.
