ISIS, Nusra, Muslim Brotherhood not related to Islam, says top Saudi cleric

Groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Al-Nusra Front and the Muslim Brotherhood are misguided and do not have any connection to Islam, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia said.

According to a report published in the Saudi Al-Hayat newspaper, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh’s remarks came in response to a question put to him by one of his students in a study circle he addressed at Imam Turki ibn Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh recently.

Asked about his opinion regarding ISIS (it’s now just referred to as Islamic State), Al-Nusra Front and the Muslim Brotherhood, he responded: “If you were to have a thorough examining look you would find that they do not have a shred of connection to Islam. They have adorned their opinions and vanities with the robes of Islam in order to deceive the people. You would find them to be misguided, for they have shed blood, violated sanctities, looted funds, created mischief in the earth and stolen countries unlawfully.”

He added: “All the methods of these groups are false. There are things behind them and there is no good in them. We do not trust them or trust their people. Whoever invites our youth to join these misguided factions is mistaken and is straying far away from the right path.”

This comes months after Saudi authorities designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and banned anyone being affiliated with it or supporting it. The Saudi list of terrorist organizations also includes ISIS, the Houthis in Yemen, Al-Nusra Front and the Saudi Hezbollah group.

Last August Militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and al-Qaeda were blasted by the top Saudi cleric as “enemy number one” of Islam.

“The ideas of extremism, radicalism and terrorism … have nothing to do with Islam and (their proponents) are the enemy number one of Islam,” the kingdom’s top cleric said in a statement on August 19.

Also last August Saudi Arabia donated $100 million to the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNCCT) to help combat terrorism.

“Terrorism is an evil that must be eradicated from the world through international efforts,” Saudi Ambassador to the United States Adel al-Jubeir said during a ceremony at the United Nations in the presence of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

  1. Is there anyone or anything that still has a connection to the evil, blasphemous religion, or have they all exposed and denounced each other? No need for the last person to leave islam to turn off the lights – they went out when the ‘prophet’ started the hoax.

      1. Yep – a fake ‘race’, fake ‘islamophobia’ – islam is a charade, with deadly consequences for those involved in it.

          Islam was a Jewish creation to counteract the spread of Christianity, now it’s biting back nothing but a Frankenstein good work by the wicked ones, la ilah li Allah, is enough proof of its origins.

    At least this honorable Sheik condemns terrorism. But Nassrallah keeps on preaching it and pretends he has nothing to do with it. Him and Bashar been terrorising the Lebanese and Syrian people for decades May Allah burn you both and ISIS in hell.

      when will u learn that allah is imaginary?

  3. Islam needs evangelism. Jewry bait and Muslims bit like they craved hell. It’s just sad that archaic idiosyncrasies cost Islam so much. If this Saudi’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh wants positive reforms, he should start by advocating reforms in Saudi mentalities.

      They are and always have been masters at manipulating, controlling and dividing other nations and religions. The only United community that suits their existence is their own, with all others they will seek to create divisions, why is the media on a global level controlled by them? Not to mention governments, weapons manufacturers etc etc………….. Just like Saul the first person instructed by the Jews to go after the Christians and kill them, the Jews continue to conspire and send out using confusion and chaos more such institutions like Isis, H.A etc etc to continue the self destruction of others. While they sit back point the finger and say we have nothing to do with this.

  6. The blocked truth-
    It’s proven fact that wherever and whenever shits are and get power they start chaos. They play their games by using actors portrayed as sunnis or shits pretending as sunnis. They are caniving, deceitful, manipulative, and pathological liars. You can never trust or belief what they say as they always use Taqiyah against non-shits.
    You can’t name a single country which is in peace where they are in power irrespective of they being majority or not. The countries in which they are not in power then they side with the enemies of Muslims to gain political power and once they attain that then their real evilness comes out as shown and proved in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, etc.
    As its taken that they will do and stoop to any level to achieve their goals. They start their age old tactics of making themselves look like the good guys, better of all evils, saviors, defenders, resistors, and if that doesnt work then they instigate hate, sectarianism, power politics, stories such as defending some shrine, ridiculing, maligning, branding anyone or everyone who stands against or in their path as wahabi, salafi, and takfiri.
    They create Khawarij’s like Isis, etc. and show to the world as sunnis. They make them do un-islamic things and bask in glory using that as a tool to propagandize, instill fear, and hate towards Islam and Muslims. Then they repeat the same rhetoric’s in social media, etc. portraying themselves as the good guys and scaring and brainwashing Muslims and non-muslims which in turn serves their purpose only at the expense of Islam, Muslims, Humanity, and Peace.
    They have done and have been doing more damage than all other haters of Islam combined.
    They are not Muslims and if they were as they claim to be then their actions proves it else.
    They are more dangerous than the worst of the humans.
    ASS ad=Isis=Shits=Iran
