by Abbas Adil

Asaduddin Owaisi, the President of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen and the MP from Hyderabad constituency received threats on his twitter account on January 5 from an anonymous account suspected to be of an ISIS sympathiser.

24201315446_92339210c6_z“@asadowaisi Your Disgrace for Muslims of India. Opposing Islamic state will lead you to hell only repent before end,” wrote the twitter handle @abotalout suspected to be of an ISIS sympathiser.

The suspected ISIS sympathiser in a series of tweets also claimed to ‘invade India soon’.

“@asadowaisi It’s better for you to shut your mouth on Islamic State if you don’t know the truth, Islamic State will invade India soon.”

Owaisi, in his reply, wrote, “@abotalout sir you are a bloody Takfiri if you want to debate on Evil ISIS I am ready you will not be able to counter my Theological Points.”

“@abotalout you can dream so keep dreaming Takfiri read @Shaykhabulhuda book on ISIS will bring you out of Darkness of ISIS Allah give Taufeeq,” Owaisi further tweeted.

After the cautioning tweets, Owaisi was quoted in newspaper Deccan Chronicle as saying, “It is for the Almighty to decide who goes to heaven or hell. These IS murderers have no right to decide my final destination. Muslim scholars had declared ISIS as “Khawrij” (rebels of Islam) and they had no right to speak about Islam.”

However, he added that there was no need to lodge a police complaint as the Tweets seemed to purely ideological and he perceived no cautions or warnings in them.

Importantly, on various occasions in 2015, Owaisi had condemned the ISIS and had dubbed them murderers and rapists.
