We must find ways that allow us to coexist in peace and harmony” While Ayatollah Abdelatif Ben Sil of Iran has threatened: “The demons have arrived and must be exterminated. We urge all the faithful to take up arms against all the demons of outer space, as well as attack all those who want to use their weapons for their benefit.”
