Following the arrest of a number of suspected jihadists in Australia, the country's grand mufti, Ibrahim Abu Mohamed, calls for peace, unity and truth.
Police talk as they guard a house that was involved in pre-dawn raids on suspected extremists in western Sydney, Sept. 18, 2014.
Some Muslim voices have strongly rejected recent fatwas [issued by the Islamic State (IS)] that call for the killing of citizens [whose countries are] participating in the international coalition against IS.
Abu Mohamed called on the international community to deal with current world events with one standard — the standard of justice. He said, “There should be no dual standard in dealing with these sensitive issues, since this could lead to irrational insurgencies. I hope the international community will think sensibly and handle the ongoing events according to the standard of truth.” He said that whoever financed, trained and armed IS must answer these questions with full transparency.
