"ISIS sent one of its suicide bombers to Medina...It is a fraud, an army of criminals...These people are dogs of hell ("jahannam ke kutte"), Owaisi said, addressing a protest meeting organised by the Muslim organisations here last night.
"ISIS is not only a danger to the Muslims but to the entire mankind," Owaisi said.
"We must accept the fact that ISIS is among us...But surely they are not related to Islam and it is our big responsibility to destroy them," the AIMIM MP said.
The Hyderabad MP asked Muslim youth to live for Islam and not die for it. "I am telling you...Educated youths amongst Muslims must give free tuitions to poor Muslims children. Rich among the Muslims should help in arranging marriages of poor Muslim women," he said.
He also hit out at BJP and RSS, saying while ISIS was the enemy of Islam, Sangh Pariwar was the enemy of secularism in India.
"We, the Indian Muslims...Strongly condemn this outrageous attack at Medina," it said.
The gathering also appealed to the youth to be wary of the propaganda of ISIS.
Recently, NIA had claimed to have busted an ISIS-linked terror module in Hyderabad with the arrest of some people.
