Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has vehemently condemned the mass execution of 21 Egyptian Christians at the hands of the Daesh Takfiri militants in Libya, describing the move as “inhumane,” “un-Islamic” and “savage.”, Press TV reported.
“Unfortunately, such acts are being perpetrated in the name of Islam and Muslims, while the terrorist and inhumane acts of such people have nothing to do with Islam,” Rouhani stated as he presided the Tuesday session of Iran’s Supreme Cultural Revolution Council in Tehran.
He added that no common sense agrees to the ISIL terrorists’ brutal deeds, especially as they promote hatred and violence by releasing videos of their massacres.
“Those, who initially helped these terrorists and funneled money to them, should apologize before world’s nations and the history for their conducts, and those who are regretfully still backing them should stop providing support to these terrorists,” Rouhani pointed out.
Also on Tuesday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein slammed ISIL beheading of Egyptian Christians.
