Iran Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani says foreign intelligence services are supporting Takfiri militants fighting in Muslim countries including Egypt.\n<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201cThis presence [of foreign intelligence services] has been seen in different countries including Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt,\u201d Larijani said.\n<\/p>\n
He added that extremist Takfiri groups have always been a \u00c5\u201cbig tragedy\u201d for Islam.\n<\/p>\n
\u00c5\u201c<\/p>\n
The Takfiris claim \u2026that [what] they are [doing] is jihad. But one should ask what kind of jihad is this that Muslims are killed\u2026 in it,\u201d Larijani stated. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He said some Western governments have met with \u00c5\u201cextremist groups in Iraq\u201d and promised to support them in their fight against Shias and the Islamic Republic. <\/p>\n
The long-drawn-out violence in Syria, which has been in crisis for more than two years, is blamed on Takfiri groups.\n<\/p>\n
In the words of senior analyst Kevin Barrett, \u00c5\u201cTakfiris and Zionists simply shout out their own views. They have no interest in the views of others. Their motto is: \u00c5\u201cBut I know best.\u201d They think that if they shoot you dead or cut off your head, they won’t have to acknowledge your ideas.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
