‘ISIS is Not a State, Not Justified by Islam’

Islamic State, which has sown a trail of terror across Syria and Iraq, is neither a state nor justified by Islam, Egypt’s top Muslim cleric said Monday.

 

“We have already asserted that we should never use the term Islamic State for ISIS,” Egypt’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Shawky Allam said at a public forum in Singapore.

 

“It is not a state in the first place, neither is it justified by any Islamic justification,” he told the packed gathering, which was organized by
the city-state’s Islamic Religious Council.
