Bahrain Mirror: Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim condemned the heinous crime represented in slaying 11 miners in Pakistan by the terrorist organization, ISIS.

ISIS organization in Pakistan executed 11 coal miners from the Shiite Hazara community in Mach coal mines, in Pakistan's Balochistan province.

The following is Sheikh Isa Qassim's statement:

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

"...whoever takes a life-unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land-it will be as if they killed all of humanity". Al-Maeda, 32.

ISIS will continue to be ISIS, a bad, fabricated, distorted facade of Islam, destroying its image in the eyes of everyone who does not know the righteousness and purity of Islam, as well as its innocence of barbarism and brutality, its respect for humanity, its appreciation for the sanctity of blood, and its support for the most favorable means of debate whether it be with a non-believer or Muslim.

ISIS will continue to spill innocent blood. It will continue to be brutal in its methods of killing, ignorant of Islam, foreign to the morals of the nation, contradicting many foundations of Islam, killing those who declare the dual testimonies, hold prayers, fast, perform Hajj, pay Zakat, and believe in One True God in thought and action, and slaughtering Muslims like sheep.

It will continue to love bloodshed, and destroy the ranks of Muslims, as its wish is to sow sedition and divide the nation. The nation, Sunnis and Shiites alike, and all its sects, must stand together in the face of this devastating pandemic, and raise future generations by warning them of ISIS's deception, brutality, ignorance, and the grave danger posed by it.

All this is evident in the recent horrific massacre, the slaughter of eleven innocent Muslim miners in Pakistan, who were not fighting anyone, and were not involved in any sectarian discussions.

How much ISIS has contradicted and went against the aforementioned holy Quran verse, as they are drenched in the blood of Muslims without any consideration or concern!

O Allah, unite the nation of Islam, and defend it from the ploy of every enemy that may be an infidel, hypocrite, and ignorant, recruited to fight against this nation.

Isa Ahmed Qassim
