ISIL dogma runs counter to Islam teachings: Chechen leader
The president of the southern Russian republic of Chechnya says the dogma of the ISIL Takfiri terrorist group is in direct opposition to the Islamic teachings.
"The IS (ISIL) terrorists have nothing to do with Islam. Their path contrasts with our religion. This has been proven by the leading Islam researchers. They are cutting, beheading and shooting innocent people, including Muslims," said Ramzan Kadyrov on Thursday.
The leader of the Muslim-majority Caucasian Republic stated that Takfiri extremism poses a serious threat to the security of the Middle East and Russia.
“The enemies of Russia want to see the Chechen Republic hit by the war … They want explosions to rock here and shootings to be heard every day. And when they see peace and order on the Chechen land, they make information about a mythic threat and escalation of the situation out of thin air,” he pointed out.
Kadyrov also touched upon the increasing activity of ISIL affiliates in Chechnya to lure youth into joining the ranks of Takfiri terrorists, saying, “We should do [our] utmost to counter this evil.”
"One of the key tasks for the law enforcement agencies is to prevent the cases of the youth joining the ranks of armed gangs, and namely the IS," he went on to say.
Reports say hundreds of Chechen fighters are now fighting for the ISIL Takfiri terrorists group.
The ISIL terrorist group, with the backing of many Western and regional states, started its campaign of terror in Syria in 2012. The Takfiri militants currently control parts of the Arab country and neighboring Iraq.
