Egypt’s Grand Mufti said on Monday condemned the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), saying its horrific actions fame it “far from Islam.”
Last week leading Muslim institutions denounced ISIS’s killing Steven Sotloff, the second U.S. journalist to be executed by the jihadist group.
Former Deputy Imam of al-Azhar Sheikh Mahmoud Ashour told Al Arabiya News that Sotloff’s killing was not only against humanity but “there is no religion that accepts the killing of a human soul.”
In the United States, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, published a statement on its website saying: “No words can describe the horror, disgust and sorrow felt by Muslims in America and worldwide at the unconscionable and un-Islamic violence perpetrated by the terror group ISIS. The criminal actions of ISIS are antithetical to the faith of Islam.”
“Our hearts go out to Mr. Sotloff’s loved ones and to all the loved ones of those murdered by ISIS,” CAIR added.
“In August, CAIR had condemned the killing by ISIS of journalist James Foley and had called for Sotloff’s immediate release.”

Will any one listen to that Chief Mufti? That Chief had been promoting violence in the name of Allah for many decades. How come he has reversed his lines (path) so suddenly! That is not for the love of Islam. That is because now the Chicks are coming home to roost. That is because he is feeling the heat.
The best way will be for the Mufti sahib to openly apologize from the Muslims for his past mistakes and then issue any Fatwa (religious edict) against the Islamic terrorists. That apology is necessary because the Chief had been supporting and promoting terrorism in the past.
