The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, has described extremist terrorist groups as enemies of Islam.
Khamenei said Muslim nations should cooperate to confront them and defend the identity of Islam.
Speaking at a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Tehran, Iran on Monday, Khamenei described terrorist groups, which are acting in the name of Islam, as the enemy of the religion and said the groups and the outspoken enemies of Islam are “two blades of the same scissors”.
“The Islamic countries should protect their identity and interests against the dangerous enemies through promoting cooperation,” the Leader noted.
Ayatollah Khamenei further pointed to the US-led coalition against terrorist groups like ISIL, also known as Daesh, and Boko Haram and said it is wrong to pin hopes on the assistance of the US and the West in the fight against terrorism.
The Leader noted that Americans and some regional states are playing destructive role in Iraq and are directly supporting Daesh.
The ISIL, as a Takfiri group in Iraq and Syria, 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.
