Islam Times - The war against Daash is global

Islam Times - Speaking in Qom – Iran – this Sunday, at the 'World Congress on Extremist and Takfiri Movements in the Islamic Scholars' View' Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jafari called on Muslim scholars to enlighten the world people about Takfiri groups and the horrors they commit in the name of Islam.

"It is the duty of Muslim scholars to enlighten the people about the terrorist acts which are taking place in the name of Islam," Jafari stressed.

He reminded his audience that Takfiris are not simply targeting Shia communities, but all communities, regardless of their religious inclinations or preferences. "The Takfiri terrorists attacked the Sunni-controlled areas even before other areas; Mosul is a Sunni-populated area in Iraq that was first attacked by the Takfiris and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL),” he said.

Hailing Iran’s efforts in bringing together Sunni and Shia clerics and scholar, al-Jafari urged all to consider Daash the real enemy of Islam.

Addressing a group of Qur’an reciters, Iran Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei empahsized “the enemies’ intelligence apparatus” plays a role in fuelling civil conflicts in a number of Islamic communities.

Praising the deep level of insight of the Islamic Ummah, Ayatollah Khamenei underscored, “The enemies of Islam are afraid of this fact and try to confront Islam in the name of Islam and under the cover of Islam."
