"We are with central government. We will support and giveany information to curb ISIS and terrorist activities in India.
"At the same time, we would like the Prime Minister to rein in his MPs and leaders from making any ugly statements against Muslims," Anjuman-E-Imamia President Syed Zamin Raza told PTI here.
Raza said there is nothing Islamic about ISIS - the Islamic State - and their actions are evil and outside the boundaries set by Islam.
"A minute's speech against Muslims will spoil the good work of curbing ISIS activities in the country," he said. Raza also accused USA and some sections of Wahabi cult inSaudi Arabia of supporting global terrorism.
"It is the US and some section of Wahabi cult in Saudi, who are spreading terrorism. Sunnis, however, are not terrorists. Why does the US does not take any action against suchcult but are out to dismantle kingdoms of other Muslim countries. Why this double standard?" he asked.
Raza said ISIS is a threat to humanity and it cannot be defeated unless all work together with the help of technology at people's disposal.
He said the terrorist attacks in Paris, Beirut and Turkeyare against divine and human laws."We the Shia Muslim community join the nation incalling for swift apprehension and stiff punishment of theperpetrators," he said.
