ISIS dogs of hell, danger to Islam', says Asaduddin Owaisi

Hyderabad: MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi in a series of tweets and at a function here on Friday night attacked the terror organisation ISIS, calling them the biggest threat to mankind and its members as “dogs of hell”.

Mr Owaisi, under attack for offering legal help to suspected ISIS operatives held in the city, justified his action but lashed out at ISIS especially after the attack in Madina in a series of tweets.

“You (terrorists) caused so much pain to the Muslim community that we can’t even express in words. Jihad karna ho to aao, humare musalmaano ki bastiyon mein bohot bacche hai, unko muft mein padhao (If you want to do jihad, come to Muslim localities and educate children free of cost),” he said.

In a strongly worded tweet on ISIS suicide bombers, he said, “Yeh jahannum kay kuttay hai (These are dogs from hell),” adding we will cut Baghdadi (ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi) into 100 pieces.” He said, “Jio Islam kay liye, maro nahi Islam kay liye (Live for Islam, don’t die for Islam.”

“ISIS is not only a danger to Muslims but to the entire mankind,” Mr Owaisi said. “We must accept the fact that ISIS is among us...but surely they are not related to Islam and it is our big responsibility to destroy them.”

A resolution passed at the meeting late on Friday night, addressed by several scholars, said the ISIS had nothing to do with Islam and its tenets, and its activities were meant to strike at the roots of Islam.
