 New Delhi (IINA) - A prominent Muslim group in India organized protests across the country against recent deadly attacks in France, Lebanon, and Turkey by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Jazeera reported.
"Islam doesn't permit killing of innocents. Since most of the killings are being done in the name of Islam and jihad, that's why it is our religious duty to raise our voice against the act," Maulana Mahmood Madani, chief of Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind, said. Thousands of Muslims across dozens of cities came out on the streets on Wednesday chanting slogans and raising banners against ISIL and its affiliated groups, Madani said. "It's a conspiracy to bring a bad name to the Quran, Islam, and the Prophet. We have to fight against this conspiracy. It's a jihad for us. Those [ISIL] who are doing this are really Allah's rebels," the Jamiat leader said.
The activists held placards with messages reading "ISIS is a threat to humanity," and "Stop ISIS everywhere." “We have received huge support. Almost all Muslim organisations have joined us from across India," said Madani. According to media reports, a handful of Muslims out of a population of more than 160 million have so far joined ISIL in Iraq and Syria.
