The terrorist organizations that entered Iraq from outside the border had been trying beyond achieving their objectives in the control of the country and plundering its economic wealth through the use of all the excessive means of killing and destruction in order to be able to extend their influence over the country with the help of some wicked regimes that provide these organizations with all the requirements of power, oppression, abuse, and money to harm the Iraqi people.

Our young people today are in dire need to raise and increase their religious awareness and be informed of the Islamic Sharia and its teachings, demanding to stand on the side of moderation and the rejection of all ideas of extremism, which are far away from our tolerant Islamic religion. Also, it is possible to fight the extremist and radical ideology through the fatwas pronounced by the clergy, which forbid working with terrorism or listen to its thoughts as well as the prohibition of all forms of violence that lead to bloodshed. Hence, all the religious scholars must remind their communities that terrorism has no religion and it does not represent Islam, either closely or remotely, and there is the need to fight this extremist ideology through the moderate Islamic thought, which refutes every terrorist thought, because it is an offense to Islam and the sanctity of blood in addition to the possibility of intensifying television and advertising programs, which expose terrorism and fight its extremist ideology wherein it appears that it has damaged the Islamic religion and Muslims greatly.
