al-Kaabi: We follow the line of Wilayat al-Faqih led by Imam Khamenei

In a meeting with Ayatollah Araki, the secretary-general of the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement, said, “We follow the line of Wilayat al-Faqih under the leadership of Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and we will be present wherever the Islamic Resistance Axis is needed.”

According to the Communication and Media Affairs Centre of al-‎Nujaba in Iran‎, Hujjat al-Islam Akram al-Kaabi, the secretary-general of the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement, held a meeting with Ayatollah Mohsen Araki, the secretary-general of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, in which he referred to the ideological base of Daesh and said, “The Daesh terrorist group has a series of intellectual and popular bases in some parts of Iraq and the presence of Daesh in Iraq will not end until we can destroy these bases.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi said that the Popular Mobilization Forces were established in Iraq to fight Daesh and stated, “The [name of the] Popular Mobilization Forces is a comprehensive title for the Islamic Resistance groups in Iraq. These groups have a lot of power due to their jihadi beliefs and trained fighters and the power of the Popular Mobilization Forces lies with the Islamic Resistance groups.”

Referring to the jihadi beliefs of the fighters of the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement, he said, “We follow the line of Wilayat al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurisprudent) under the leadership of Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and we will be present wherever the Islamic Resistance Axis is needed.”

The senior commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces also clarified the future of Daesh, “This terrorist group will operate in security after the military defeat in Iraq and will target the Iraqi civilians in the form of secret cells. We must have security activities in this regard and the Islamic Resistance groups are moving in this direction.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi emphasized the intellectual struggle against Daesh and added, “In the past, US forces have announced through a series of military operations in Iraq that al-Qaeda is over in this country, while to destroy terrorism (al-Qaeda), the intellectual roots of this terrorist network must be dried up, and in this regard, we must pay attention to Islamic unity and the rapprochement of denominations.”

He continued, “In this country, politicians are in contact with the United States, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who see their success in sectarianism. These politicians recently put pressure on extremist clerics to return to Sunni mosques in areas liberated from Daesh, especially in the city of Fallujah, which we strongly opposed.”

The secretary-general of the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement said that the solution to the problem of sectarianism in Iraq is to attract moderate Sunni personalities and added, “In this regard, we established the Office of the Deputy for Religions and Approximation of Denominations in the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement and took Sunni clerics to liberated areas so that they can talk to the people of these areas.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Kaabi emphasized, “We even established battalions in the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement with the presence of the Sunni residents of the cities of Fallujah and Tikrit and they were with us in the liberation operation in these areas.”

He called more contact with Sunnis the policy of this Islamic Resistance group and specified, “We have opened Sunni mosques in Shi’ah areas and we are protecting Sunnis and their mosques.”
