| [Iran Press TV] The head of Hezbollah says the Lebanese resistance movement has been fighting the ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... group in Iraq. "We may not have spoken about Iraq before, but we have a limited presence because of the sensitive phase that Iraq is going through," Nasrallah said on Monday in a speech delivered in commemoration of Hezbollah's deaders, Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Sayyed Abbas al-Mousawi and Hajj Imad Moughhnieh, in Sayyed al-Shuhadaa Complex in Dahiyeh, located in the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut. The Iraqi army along with volunteer forces and rustics are fighting against the ISIL terrorist group which currently controls large areas of Iraq and Syria. The group sent its faceless myrmidons into Iraq in June 2014, seizing large parts of land straddling the border between Syria and Iraq. Fighters from Leb's Hezbollah resistance movement have been backing the Syrian army in the fight against the Takfiri faceless myrmidons operating inside Syria. "I call for those who are urging us to withdraw from Syria to join us in our fight in Syria. Let's go to Iraq and everywhere to face off this threat because this is the right way to defend Leb," Nasrallah said. Jordan's duplicity Nasrallah further criticized Jordan's double standards in the fight against terrorism, saying that all terrorist groups follow the same mentality. "Jordan cannot fight ISIL in Iraq and support al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... in Syria, terrorist groups are all faces of the same coin." The al-Qaeda liked al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front and the ISIL terrorist group have "the same essence, ideology, culture and methodology," the head of Hezbollah said, adding, "The only difference between them was over leadership, but they are essentially one and the same." "All the Takfiri currents must be fought, without distinction," he further noted. Nasrallah's remarks came as Jordan has vowed to intensify |
