\n We took a guided tour through a house in Nardaran that caught gunfire on November 26, when a police raid during a prayer meeting resulted in the deaths of five local citizens and two police officers.\n<\/p>\n

\n The house bore scars of violence, with bullet-pocked walls and ubiquitous blood stains. Veiled women took us inside a home that showed signs of indiscriminate gunfire. Even a bag of onions was torn through with a live bullet, our hostess said pointing to the bag. \u201cThere was a rain of bullets flying from all directions, from the walls, the ceiling,\u201d she recalled.\n<\/p>\n

\n “There is blood everywhere,” the woman said.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe swear to God we are neither ISIS nor Wahhabis,\u201d one of the women said. “I swear on the Quran we are Shiites. We are not Wahhabis.”\n<\/p>\n

\n One woman, whose husband was detained and held incommunicado, said that police were on the hunt for theologian and religious activist
\n
\n Haji Taleh Bahirzade
\n <\/a>
\n .\n<\/p>\n

\n Authorities claim the raid broke up a \u201ccriminal gang\u201d called Muslim Unity seeking to impose Sharia law in Azerbaijan, but witnesses and local residents insist the police attacked a peaceful prayer meeting. \u201cThey were simply praying, worshiping God. They didn\u2019t hurt anyone,” a local told Meydan TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
