BAGHDAD (AP) — The immolation of a Jordanian pilot by the Islamic State group has brought a unified outcry Friday from top religious clerics across the Muslim world — including a prominent jihadi preacher — who insisted the militants have gone too far.
Abu Mohammed al-Maqdesi, considered a spiritual mentor for many al-Qaida militants, said the killing of Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh is "not acceptable in any religion." He spoke in an interview with Jordan's Roya TV a day after being released from more than three months in detention.
At Friday prayers in neighboring
Iraq, where the militant group has seized territory in a third of the
country, top Shiite cleric Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani declared in a sermon
that the "savage" act demonstrates the extremists know no boundaries
and violate "Islamic values and humanity."
Religious
groups, often at odds with one another over ideologies or politics, are
increasingly speaking out in unison against the militants, who continue
to enforce their rule in Iraq and Syria through massacres, kidnapping,
forced marriages, stonings and other acts of brutality.
Iranian
Shiite cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani claimed in his sermon
that militant groups like the Islamic State are created by Western
nations as a means for promoting "an ugly picture of Islam."
Earlier this week, Islamic State
militants released a video of al-Kaseasbeh, a Muslim, being burned to
death in a cage. While the beheading of hostages from the U.S., Britain
and Japan brought condemnation from most religious sects within Islam,
the gruesome images of the airman's slaying served as a unifying
battle-cry for Muslims across the world.
Jordan
joined a U.S.-led military coalition against the militants in
September, but said it would intensify its airstrikes in response to the
killing of its air force pilot. On Thursday, dozens of fighter jets
struck Islamic State weapons depots and training sites, Jordan's
military said.
Outrage
escalated in the capital of Amman following Friday prayers, with
demonstrators unfurling a large Jordanian flag and holding up banners
supporting King Abdullah II's pledge for a tough military response to
avenge al-Kaseasbeh's death.
"We all stand united with the Hashemite leadership in facing terrorism," one banner read.
It
is unusual to see such a unified response from religious institutions,
because moderate camps often represent drastically different views to
those of hard-line minority groups. The recent attacks on journalists at
the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, for instance, brought a
range of responses in the Muslim world, with many condemning the death
of innocent people but disagreeing on whether the publication crossed
the line in its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
The
Sept. 11 attacks in the United States spurred a hint of celebration and
praise from anti-American radical groups, including al-Qaida, the group
behind the hijackings, but condemnation from moderate Islamic factions.
Now, even al-Qaida has grown more outspoken against the Islamic State
group, which originally was an al-Qaida offshoot in Iraq. That criticism
has left the IS extremists in an increasingly isolated position.
Even clerics aligned with the
Islamic State group are said to be speaking out against the pilot's
killing. Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights, said extremists dismissed one of its
religious officials in Aleppo province after he objected to how the
Jordanian pilot was put to death.
The
religious official, a Saudi cleric known as Abu Musab al-Jazrawi, said
during a meeting that such killings contradict the teachings of the
Prophet Muhammad, Abdurrahman said. Other clerics in the meeting in the
northern town of Bab began a verbal attack against the Saudi cleric, who
was later sacked and referred to a religious court, he said. The
incident could not be confirmed independently.
Many
Facebook users in Bosnia posted pictures Friday of the Jordanian king
in his military uniform, hailing his pledge to take a "severe response"
for the pilot's death. The head of Bosnia's Islamic community, Husein
Kavazovic, denounced the militant group, saying "there is no 'but' in
condemning those crimes." At least 150 Bosnians have reportedly joined
the Islamic State group, and Kavazovic called on his government to strip
them of their citizenship.
Al-Maqdesi criticized the
militants for declaring a caliphate, or an Islamic state, last year in
the areas under their control. Al-Maqdesi said such a state run
according to Islamic law is meant to unite Muslims, but the extremists
have been divisive.
Grand
Imam Ahmed al-Tayeb, head of the world's most prestigious seat of Sunni
Islam learning, Cairo's Al-Azhar Mosque, said earlier this week that the
IS militants deserve the Quranic punishment of death, crucifixion or
chopping off their arms for being enemies of God and the Prophet
Muhammad.
"Islam prohibits
the taking of an innocent life," al-Tayeb said. By burning the pilot to
death, he added, the militants violated Islam's prohibition on the
immolation or mutilation of bodies — even during wartime.
Iraq's
top Sunni mufti, Sheik Mahdi al-Sumaidaie, said the crime against
al-Kaseasbeh is "unprecedented," adding that "the Prophet Muhammad said
that only God can punish with fire."
Pakistani Sunni cleric Munir
Ahmed, in his sermon in Islamabad, also dismissed any theological basis
for the crime, saying the "gruesome" death of the Jordanian pilot "is
the most horrible act of cruelty." It's a punishment that "Allah has
kept for its own authority and no human is authorized to do it," Ahmed
said.
