THE FACE OF ISLAM:

As many as 300 Muslim clerics passed a resolution against the Islamic State and other terror outfits on Tuesday, unequivocally describing them as un-Islamic.

The move to condemn the terror organisation, formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), came at the culmination of a three-day international conference on "The Determined Stand of Muslims Against the IS," organised primarily by All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) member and noted scholar Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani.call it 'un-Islamic'

"Terror outfits like the ISIS are not even remotely associated with the idea of Islam. Their deeds and actions are absolutely un-Islamic and against humanity," read one of the eight resolutions. Quoting a verse from the Quran, another stated that the Sharia forbids the killing of innocent people. "Islam teaches Muslims to respect and to protect life, wealth, assets and dignity of people irrespective of their beliefs. It does not permit any group to take law into its hands," it read.
