The Islamic State group’s ideology must be undermined, United Nations ’ Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein has urged.
A single Muslim voice denouncing the terror group’s bloodshed could even be more effective than air strikes alone, Mr al-Hussien said.
He stressed that many Muslims are opposed to ISIS for the genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes it commits.
Mr al-Hussein, a member of the Jordanian Royal Family, cited Muslim clerics who believe that ISIS has violated ‘Sharia’ through conversions, the reintroduction of slavery and the killing of civilians.
He asked whether it is possible to ’bomb an ideology like this into submission’.
Meanwhile the Brussels-based European Iraqi Freedom Association has also said in a report to the UN Security Council that we need a ’cultural and religious alternative to confront the violent, reactionary and extremist interpretation of Islam, for both Sunnis and Shias’.
The Association said: 'To reach these goals, one has to take a firm stance against the religious fascism ruling Iran, evicting it from Iraq and Syria. Then we could witness a reverse trend.
'However it seems that the US, still hoping to become friendly with the Ayatollahs, is reluctant to get anywhere close to this solution. This could lead to disaster.'
Speaking at a Conference at the French Parliament on October 28, Mrs Maryam Rajavi , the president of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, also criticized the policy of appeasement towards the Iranian regime adding that the rise of ISIS is 'the by-product of unprecedented crimes of mullahs in Iran, Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Maliki in Iraq, and their sectarian policy against a large section of the population in Iraq and Syria.'
She urged members of the French Parliament to support moderate Muslim movements as a means of combating extremism that is equally on display in the actions of Islamic State militants, and the theocratic regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Rajavi went on to recommend that France and all other Western nations confront the broader threat posed by all of these sources of sectarian conflict, and that they do so by providing support to regional an international resistance movements that embody a moderate and democratic vision of Islam, as an alternative to the extremist movements that are vying for dominance throughout the Middle East today.
'Support for the Iranian Resistance will make this cultural alternative known to the public and thus contribute to attempts to curtail the recruiting of European youth by the fundamentalist forces,' Rajavi said.
Mr Al Hussein, the UN’s first human rights commissioner, also urged the new Iraqi government to join the International Criminal Court so IS leaders can be prosecuted.
He said his office was also investigating the actions of the Iraqi authorities and pro-government Shia militias.
