A senior Iranian cleric hailed the recent defeat of the ISIS terrorist group and said there is now need for cultural activities to counter the ideology of Takfiris and terrorists.
Senior Cleric Calls for Unity, Cultural Work to Counter Takfiri Ideology after ISIS Collapse
Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Taskhiri, an advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in Muslim world affairs, said the collapse of ISIS’s self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria was good news for Muslims countries.
“Fortunately, with the solidarity and unison among Muslims in Iraq and Syria and their support for the countries’ armies and governments, the inauspicious plot hatched against the region’s Muslims by the Zionist-Wahhabi front backed by the US was foiled.”
However, he said, since ISIS and other terrorist groups have roots in a deviated ideology, they will not be totally defeated through military means alone.
