HYDERABAD: All India Majlis-eIttehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi launched a scathing attack on the IS terming them “dogs from hell” and warned that its chief will be cut into pieces.

Condemning the terror attack near the Prophet’s mosque in holy city of Madinah, he said if Muslims find IS chief Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, they will cut him into 100 pieces.

“Daesh (IS) is a lie. It’s an army of criminals. The organisati­on and it’s so-called Khalifa (Abu Bakr al Baghdadi) are the dogs of hell,” he said.

The AIMIM president was addressing a public meeting organised by the organisati­on here late on Friday night to condemn the terror attack.

At the meeting, Muslim leaders and religious scholars also cautioned Muslim youth against browsing IS-related websites or material on internet, saying they either will fall into the trap of terror group or get arrested by security agencies.

Referring to the recent arrest of five Muslim youth in Hyderabad by the National Investigat­ion Agency (NIA), the ‘ulemas’ or Islamic scholars said the youth should be careful while searching content on Google or using social media like Facebook, Twitter and Watsup.

The speakers also advised youth to learn Islam or anything related to Islam from scholars, instead of searching it online.
