"The Global Imam’s counsel has released a statement condemning Hamas’s barbaric executions and stating in clear terms, “we hold Hamas directly responsible for the deaths and suffering of all innocent lives lost since Oct. 7.”

Why? Because they are logically, factually, and legally responsible, and Jihadism is understood to be a threat to the entire Middle East – Muslims and non-Muslims alike."

The Global Imam's Council? Our story:

The story of our blessed Council begins in early 2007 following the collapse of Saddam Hussein’s tyrannical government, which fueled sectarianism between Sunni and Shi’a Muslims. As the power vacuum in Iraq widened, many violent movements competed for control over our country’s future. Daily bombings and bitter sectarian battles besieged a once-stable Iraq. As chaos devolved between Sunni and Shi’a factions, ISIS arose around 2006, conducting massacres and other atrocities cloaked in the name of Islam.

For more than ten years prior to the rise of ISIS, senior Islamic leaders and honorable Imams gathered regularly at the ancient Supreme Islamic Seminary in Baghdad, Iraq, to discuss the affairs of their respective Muslim communities. These gatherings included numerous Islamic authorities, muftis, and countless prominent figures. As a result, tens of mosques, Islamic centers, educational institutes and charitable organizations were established. In the wake of the tragic events of 2014 and the occupation of Iraqi cities by ISIS terrorists, the Iraqi government invited peace-loving and patriotic Imams to combat the spread of ISIS’s ideological terrorism and Islamist propaganda, and to encourage the many brave, civilian Iraqi men and women who took it upon themselves to liberate their cities from terrorism….

See here for that statement on Hamas, if you can't read it as set out above.
