Iranian General: ISIS Is Fake, Designed To Smear Islam
The deputy commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Monday that the U.S. is using ISIS to tarnish the image of Islam. Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami believes that the U.S. led coalition against the Islamic State is completely fake. The Daily Caller reports: Salami said at a ceremony in Tehran the existence of ISIS is nothing more than a U.S. attempt to tarnish the reputation of Islam, which the West deems necessary because its own population is converting to Islam en masse, reports FARS News, an Iranian news agency with ties to the government.
