ISIL sired, reared to wipe out Islamic identity: Top Commander



Sun Aug 17, 2014 1:44PM GMT

The turmoil currently gripping the Middle East region is the brainchild of the sworn enemies of Islam, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) deputy for political affairs says.

“Today, there are think tanks in the enemy front that define the strategies and even the tactics of Takfiri groups and the ISIL, whom they have sired and reared themselves,” Second Brigadier General Rasul Sanai-Rad, the IRGC deputy for political affairs, said in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas on Sunday.

What is going on in the region is part of a scenario devised to destroy the revived Islamic identity whose main advocate and promoter is the Islamic Resistance Front, Sanai-Rad added.
Referring to the atrocities perpetrated at the hands of Takfiri militants and ISIL terrorists in the name of Islam in a number of Middle Eastern countries, the IRGC commander said their acts best serve those who wish to tarnish the image of Islam.

Syria has been gripped by a deadly conflict, fueled by Western-backed militants, for more than three years. Iraq also plunged into crisis in early June after Takfiri ISIL militants took control of large swathes of the Arab country.

Pointing to the crimes committed by Boko Haram Takfiris in the African continent, the Iranian commander further noted that their acts are another part of the plot that the enemies of Islam are pursuing and supporting to deal hard blows to Islam.

Boko Haram -- whose name means “Western education is forbidden” -- has claimed responsibility for a number of deadly gun and bomb attacks in various parts of Nigeria since 2009. It has repeatedly targeted civilians, killing more than 2,000 people since January.
