Hawzah News Agency (Karbala, Iraq) - The custodian of Imam Hussain Holy Shrine and representative of the Shia Muslim Supreme Religious Authority Shaikh Abdul-Mehdi al Karbalaee delivered a speech in which he said that extirpating ISIS does not mean the end of problems; people should accept responsibilities regionally and internationally.

Iraq has been bleeding and sacrificing for improvement, wealth and prosperity that would have been achieved if were not for the current situation Iraq has been going through, said Al - Karbalaee.

He mentioned that ISIS was not satisfied with murdering innocent people, but they also targeted the cultures, and not only did they devastate the Islamic worshipping places, but they also devastated worshipping places of other religions; this is a clear-cut sign that ISIS is a group of savage criminals, targeting everyone.

People should work together to stop extremism of thought and beliefs, Al - Karbalaee mentioned.
