Speaking to IQNA, Sheikh Ghassan Muhammad Ismail, Syria’s Jafari Mufti, said the Islamic Republic of Iran is a model of Muslim countries in confronting Takfiris.
He also said that Muslim nations are proud of Iran’s progresses in different areas and its steadfastness in resisting the enemies of ill-wishers.
He referred to promotion of true Islam, support for the world’s oppressed, and backing for Palestine as some of the important principles of the Islamic Revolution.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Sheikh Ghassan condemned the atrocities committed by Takfiri terrorists in different parts of the Muslim world and said these crimes are aimed at tarnishing the image of Islam and provoke Islamophobia.
“Today, everyone has come to the conclusion that Takfiri groups are mercenaries of the Zionists and US-Western imperialists,” he said, underlining that the crimes perpetrated by the Takfiris in the name of Islam only serve the Zionists and their American masters.
Extremist groups like the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the al-Nusra Front and other terrorist entities that commit crimes in the name of Islam in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Libya and elsewhere have nothing to do with Islam, he reiterated.
“The western media, however, attempt to attribute these atrocities and these groups to Islam in order to intensify Islamophobia,” he went on to say.
