Sheikh Faydh Mosque was an ancient[citation needed] Sunni mosque in Mashhad,[1] Iran, one of the main Shi'ite religious places. It was demolished it in 1993[citation needed], under the alleged supervision of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps[citation needed], who also demolished adjoining centers which were used as guest houses and Koran memorization centers[citation needed]. Many critics claim that the demolition orders came from Ayatollah Khamenei personally.[citation needed], the spiritual leader of Iran. The demolition of this mosque occurred immediately after the government-sponsored demonstrations against the demolition of the Babri Mosque in India by the Hindus.[citation needed]
On 4 February 2001 the imam of the mosque, Mevlavi Musa Karami, was assassinated by an explosion outside a mosque in Herat, some[who?] believe by the Iranian government.[citation needed]
