He was the Interim Friday Prayer Leader of Tehran.[3] He was also the head of Shahid Motahari University, Tehran.[citation needed]
Emami-Kashani called al-Qaeda an "illegitimate child of America and Israel":
You talk about al-Qaeda. Have you forgotten who has bred al-Qaeda? It's the illegitimate child of America and Israel, but you name it Islam. This savagery is not Islam. It is coming from inside of you and it is now punching you.[4]
