JOIN USCanadian-Pakistani cleric Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has said those killing innocent people for the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (IS) will go to “hell” as their ideology is anti-Islam.
“It is not jihad, but 'fasad' (expression or activity that creates disorder in Muslim community),” Qadri, recently in Delhi to attend ‘World Sufi Forum’, told the India Today group.
“People dying in the IS are not going to heaven; they are going to hell because they are killing mankind, they are killing the innocent, the civilians,” he said, adding that capturing land, killing and looting are not part of any religious ideology.
IS ideology is Kufr (disbelief in Islam), Qadri said, seeing no concept of ‘jihad’ in the terror outfit’s "character, performance, behaviour or ideology".
“It is anti-Islam; against the teachings of the prophet of Islam and those of Quran,” noted Qadri, who spearheaded the ‘Long March’ against the Nawaz Sharif government on corruption in 2013.
