شیعه و سنی باید با اتحاد خود مقابل مکر تکفیریون بایستند/ حشد تواناترین تشکل برای مبارزه با داعش

Secretary-General of al-Nujaba at Velayat TV:

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi: Shi’ahs and Sunnis must stand united against the treachery of the Takfiris | Popular Mobilization Forces are the most capable organization to fight Daesh

Hujjat al-Islam Akram al-Ka’bi stated, “Those who follow the Takfiris and seek to kill Muslims and destroy the relics and history of Muslims and their holy places are a group of ignorant people and bandits in whom Shi’ahs and Sunnis must have the same position and unity to counter this fierce aggression.”

According to the Communication and Media Affairs Centre of al-‎Nujaba in Iran, Hujjat al-Islam Akram al-Ka’bi, the secretary-general of al-‎Nujaba, met with Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Hoseyni-Qazvini at the studio of Velayat TV in Qom on January 9, 2016.

Regarding the reasons for the spread of Daesh in the world, Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi said, “In fact, the Takfiri terrorist group Daesh cannot be considered a religious movement but rather it is a violent movement based on barbarism. The spread of this movement in the region is also due to its historical and colonial roots. If we go back in history, we see that the people of the Age of Ignorance were the first to adopt such methods and Daesh also follows the method and logic of the Age of Ignorance.”

The commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces added, “Especially during this period, the spread of Daesh in the Arab world, especially in the Islamic regions, has been with European colonial support. Of course, this support has had many purposes, but its main purpose was the destruction of Islam by the West, which of course has its own causes, which are sometimes pursued through insulting cartoons or by creating a dark and Takfiri face of Islam. They want to target Islam from within.”

He said, “As we know, Daesh is an extension of al-Qaedah, which was established in Afghanistan and was established with the support and money of the West, Europe, Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf monarchies. At that time, it was announced that the group was established to fight the Soviets. In fact, it was established to fight Islam and create destructive thoughts against Islam to undermine Islam and the manners of the Prophet Muhammad as well as the mercy and love of Islam.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi reiterated that Daesh is another Takfiri group that has split from al-Qaedah and said, “If we go back in history, we see that Islam spread like wildfire in Europe, and this caused great sorrow to European countries. As a result, it became important for these countries to create groups that destroy Islam.”

His Eminence said, “The European media today is trying to portray Daesh as a representative of Islam, while the only ones who are fighting Daesh today are Islam and Muslims. In Iraq and Syria, Shi’ahs and Sunnis and their scholars have taken the same position against this terrorist group. But the Western media tries to insinuate that Daesh represents Islam, while pure Muhammadan Islam is free from this group.”

He referred to the political currents or the hidden hands of the supporters of Daesh and noted, “The usurping regime of the House of Saud, which now rules the Arabian Peninsula and Islamic sanctuaries such as Makkah and Madinah, Basically has a Takfiri and criminal mindset and this is the way that Daesh promotes and commits its crimes according to this thought.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi added, “The House of Saud plays a major role in financing and supporting Daesh in all regions, as do the regimes of Qatar and Turkey. In general, Western countries support this Takfiri terrorist group. Today, Daesh is funded in various ways in Iraq and Syria, including through oil smuggling with the help of countries such as Qatar and Turkey, which facilitate the process of transporting and selling oil. This shows the great behind the scenes support for this group, as well as their targeting of Islam and the Islamic Resistance Front.”

The commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces said that today, Daesh stands on the exact front against the Muslims, and all those who support the existence of the usurping Zionist regime in Palestine are on the same front and said, “In fact, it can be said that today Daesh is the lawyer and supporter of the usurping Zionist regime in the region, which is fighting on its behalf.”

Referring to the presence of al-Nujaba in Iraq and Syria, he said, “During the war, we found Saudi cars and weapons, and even food produced by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey at Daesh headquarters, all of which are documented.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi added, “As a result, Turkish-Saudi-Qatari support for Daesh exists and will continue to exist from the beginning and this is the reason for a great conspiracy and proves that we in the Islamic Resistance Axis are fighting with more than 120 countries.”

Explaining the role of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the resistance against Daesh, His Eminence said, “The Popular Mobilization Forces is the most capable organization in the fight against Daesh because it includes all Iraqi resistance groups that are skilled in street warfare, guerrilla warfare and combat techniques. Of course, these resistance groups were established at the same time as the American occupation of Iraq and they played an important role in the fight against the United States and caused them so much damage that they were forced to leave Iraq.”

He continued, “The equation has changed since the Popular Mobilization Forces entered the battlefield, while before that Daesh had almost reached Baghdad and the borders of Karbala. After the Popular Mobilization Forces entered the battlefield, a strong security belt was first established around the cities of Karbala and Baghdad and they were able to liberate large parts of Iraqi territory. They also opened Samarra and the Samarra-Baghdad road and then launched important and large-scale operations throughout Iraq, liberating large parts of Iraqi territory.”

Regarding the formation and role of al-Nujaba in the Popular Mobilization Forces, Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi said, “al-Nujaba was established to counter the American occupation. Today, this group is actively involved in the war against the Takfiris in Syria in defence of the sanctities and the deprived and at the request of the member states of the resistance.”

The Iraqi cleric emphasized, “In Iraq, the warriors of al-Nujaba were stationed in the key area of ​​Baghdad's security belt to the north of the city and took part in fierce and important clashes such as the Nebai and Kisarat, which led to the complete liberation of these areas and the advance to the north, the Ishaqi region. There, too, major clashes took place at the entrance to the city of Samarra and the Samarra-Fallujah road to Mushayt al-Muthanna was completely liberated by the warriors of al-Nujaba. Many areas in the south, such as Umm al-Talayib and al-Rahaliyyah, etc., also in the security belt of the city of Karbala, as well as around Lake Razazah and al-Rahaliyyah, etc. These fighters established a strong defensive line against Daesh. These forces are still present in the belt around Karbala.”

He added, “After these activities, the forces of al-Nujaba moved towards the city of Samarra and carried out extensive and important operations in the east and west of the city until they reached the pipeline.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi emphasized, “All these operations were carried out in a very short time and in an exemplary way. The day of the beginning of this operation was the holy day of mid-Sha’ban and its place was the birthplace of Imam al-Mahdi [Samarra] and by the grace of God Almighty, we were victorious that we were able to remove the gunfire from the al-Askari Shrine of within three days. Also, we were able to find the trenches and many of their ammunition, such as car bombs, cars and weapons with which they targeted the pilgrims to the graves of Imams Ali al-Hadi and Hasan al-Askari and the Popular Mobilization Forces.”

The commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces referred to the participation of al-Nujaba forces in the Salah al-Din operation in the north of Tikrit, said, “By the grace of God and with the help of other resistance groups, the city was liberated and the forces advanced to reach the city of Bayji, where the al-Nujaba played a significant role in starting the operation and was able to play an important role in liberating the city of Bayji.”

According to Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi, after liberating Bayji, al-Nujaba moved towards the city of Mosul and in an offensive operation, they advanced with their brothers in other resistance groups towards the al-Makhoul Mountains.

His Eminence stressed that the plight of Muslims today is due to Western colonial aggression and said, “The Muslim ummah must wake up and they must know that Takfiri thoughts are presented because they support the usurping regime of Israel.”

The secretary-general of al-Nujaba emphasized, “Those who follow the Takfiris and seek to kill Muslims and destroy the relics and history of Muslims and their holy places are a group of ignorant people and bandits in whom Shi’ahs and Sunnis must have the same position and unity to counter this fierce aggression.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi added, “We saw in Iraq that many of our Sunni scholars and brothers are with us and are fighting with us because Daesh is targeting all the followers of the religion of the Prophet today and whoever chooses the true religion of Islam.”

The Iraqi scholar added, “Daesh seeks to destroy the face of pure Muhammadan Islam and for this reason, we need to fight it consciously.”

In another part of his speech, he referred to the martyrdom of Hujjat al-Islam Nimr Baqir al-Nimr and said, “Hujjat al-Islam Nimr is a martyr who speaks the truth and if we go back a little we will see that the crimes of the House of Saud are many and God-willing, Martyr al-Nimr will be the end of this evil government.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi continued, “The crimes of the House of Saud started from the beginning of the establishment of the Wahhabi state in the Arabian Peninsula. From then on, their attacks on Karbala and Najaf and the killing of many Shi’ahs, as well as the killing of Sunni tribes in the Arabian Peninsula began. In the Arabian Peninsula, they beheaded people and took women captive, and thus they were able to impose themselves on the people by force and with the open support of the United Kingdom.”

His Eminence added, “The House of Saud has committed many crimes and has desecrated the sanctities of Muslims, even the Ka’bah. We ask God Almighty for their crime against Hujjat al-Islam Nimr to be their last crime and to overthrow the government of this family.”

He stressed, “Of course, as a resistance group, we will not only condemn and demand from the honourable people of the world but we will have our own reactions, whether in the military dimension or any other form. This is because the regime has declared its enmity with Islam through its crimes, including the martyrdom of Hujjat al-Islam al-Nimr, and has clearly shown the clutches of its enmity and proved that it supports the American-Israeli plans in the region.”

Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi added, “We must fight against this American-Zionist system, and we, as al-Nujaba, reserve the right to respond in any way that is appropriate, and God-willing, we will take action in the future.”

The militant cleric called on all Muslims and honourable people in the world to sanction the House of Saud and said, “The United Nations is, in reality, the United Nations of Arrogant Nations, not the nations of the United Nations. This organization supports the plans of killing and destroying the West against other countries.

In conclusion, Hujjat al-Islam al-Ka’bi, “The Western regimes are completely on the side of the arrogant and with the Saud regime and its allies. God-willing, we will remain in the resistance and we will continue the same method and we will be victorious as long as God is with us.”
