Israel is the land (to wage) Jihad not Islamic countries

Taher El-Hashemi, member of the Ahlul Bayt World Assembly, said what happened with the recent explosion on a tourist bus at Taba crossing in Sinai and the current bombings in the Arab and Islamic region like in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq carried out by some who falsely proclaim to adhere to Islam are desperate attempts by the Zionist entity to tarnish the public image of Islam.

El-Hashemi added, these groups are helping to implement the Zionist plan by striking and dividing the Arab and Islamic countries from the inside while Israel is safe and delighted with what's going on in the Arab world.

He had the following message to the Jihadi groups "You have occupied Palestine, go there and face the Zionist enemy on the ground if you want victory for Islam". (Feb.17, 2014)
