ISIL, US Pretext for Meddling in Muslim Countries’ Affairs
Speaking to IQNA, Mohammad al-Assadi, an official with Iraq’s Afaq TV, said one of the objectives behind creation of ISIL was portraying it as a representative of Islam.
Even former US state secretaries Condoleezza Rice and Hilary Clinton have admitted Washington’s support for ISIL, he noted.
Al-Assadi said the American support for the terrorist group is because it creates insecurity in the region and that in turn serves as a pretext for the US and others to interfere in the affairs of other countries, especially in the Middle East.
The ISIL also causes people in the world to get afraid of Islam because the Takfiri group is being portrayed as representing the religion.
The Iraqi media activist said the Islamophobia spread as a result of the crimes committed by the ISIL Takfiri group is also used by the Zionist regime to advance its agenda in Palestine.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Al-Assadi underlined the need for Muslim world media to get more professional in defending the true Islam and countering the Western media’s attempts to distort the religion’s image.
ISIL is a militant group operating in Iraq and Syria which is believed to be supported by the West and some regional Arab countries.
The terrorist group claims as an independent state the territory of Iraq and Syria, with implied future claims intended over more of the Levant, including Lebanon, occupied Palestine, Jordan, Cyprus, and Southern Turkey.
The ISIL militants made advances in northern and western Iraq over summer 2014, after capturing swaths of northern Syria.
The terrorists are notorious for perpetrating atrocious deeds and heinous crimes against civilians in the areas under their control.
