Daesh Ideology More Dangerous than Its Actions: IRGC Adviser
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The media adviser to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commander warned that Daesh has turned into an ideology that is even more ominous than the terrorist group’s heinous acts.
Operationally, the Takfiri group is on its last legs in Syria and Iraq, its main strongholds, Hamidreza Moqaddamfar said Saturday while addressing a ceremony held at the Tasnim News Agency’s central office in Tehran to unveil a book titled “Daesh’s Thoughts and Deeds”.
But “Daesh has unfortunately turned into an ideology whose danger is even bigger than that of its operational (terrorist) activities,” he said.
Daesh is a deviated ideology that has found itself some devotees who follow it out of total ignorance, Moqaddamfar added, stressing the need for countering this ideology.
He further referred to the origins of the Takfiri group, saying that it was created to present a distorted image of Islam to counter the growing interest in the religion in the West.
Moqaddamfar went on to say that the Zionist regime of Israel and the likes of it are the ones that benefit from Daesh.
Daesh began its campaign of terror in 2014. The Takfiri group, which is believed to have received support from Western and certain regional countries, has been committing heinous crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq and Syria and carrying out acts of terrorism across the region and beyond.
