ISIL committing worst crimes against Muslims, Qur’an: Hezbollah official

A senior official of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah says the ISIL Takfiri group is committing the most heinous crimes against the Muslims and the holy Qur’an.

The barbaric acts by the ISIL group and Takfiris are a clear example of anti-Islam moves and are regarded as the worst crimes that could be committed against Muslims and Qur’an,” said Sheikh Ali Damoush, the director of Hezbollah’s external relations office, during a Thursday gathering in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad.

He added that Takfiri groups such as ISIL are disseminating their evil thoughts and tarnishing the image of Islam and Muslims by raising doubts among non-Muslims and waving a flag which reads “God is great.”

He added:”Wahhabi groups spent more than USD 80 billion last year to promote Shiaphobia around the globe.”

Damoush also called on Muslims to stand up to the ISIL and other Takfiri groups operating in Syria and Iraq.

Lebanon has also been rocked by the spillover of the conflict in Syria.

Recently, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah also has said the Lebanese resistance movement is determined to defeat terrorists and Takfiri militants.

He said the resistance movement is strong and will be victorious in its fight against the terrorists.

The ISIL terrorists currently control large swathes of territory across Syria and Iraq. They have committed terrible atrocities in both countries, including mass executions and the beheading of local residents as well as foreign nationals.
