ISIS entirely un-Islamic, says senior Indian cleric

Lucknow, Jul 7 (IBNS) : After two terror attacks in Bangladesh within a week, a senior cleric in India has condemned terrorism and called the ISIS "un-Islamic".
Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahli, the chief cleric of Lucknow's biggest prayer ground Idgah, told NDTV that a group of imams sent out a strong message against ISIS and terror at a mass gathering for Eid prayers on Thursday.
 
"We said the ISIS is against Islam and against humanity. We said that the ISIS cannot be Muslim - their terror activities are entirely un-Islamic."
 
The cleric has initiated big changes at Idgah, which allowed women to offer Eid prayers at the mosque on Thursday for the first time.
 
"Lakhs prayed here. We prayed for peace. We prayed for an end to terrorism in the world," the cleric told NDTV.
 
He said that many non-Muslims attended the Eid prayers this morning and greeted Muslims.
 
On Wednesday morning,  four persons were killed and many wounded in the second terror attack in Bangladesh in a week. The attack took place at the state's largest gathering for Eid prayers, at Kishanganj, 140 km north of Dhaka.
 
Last weekend, seven terrorists attacked a popular cafe in Dhaka and hacked 22 people to death, including 20 foreigners.
