Al-Hindi: Islamic Jihad is a Palestinian Sunni movement

Al-Hindi: Islamic Jihad is a Palestinian Sunni movement
The leader of the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza, Mohamed Al-Hindi, insisted on Wednesday that his movement is "solely a Sunni, Palestinian and resistance movement", stressing that "it is far from sectarian colours," Anadolu news agency reported.

In a press release sent to Anadolu, Al-Hindi denied the remarks made by Iraqi Shia cleric Sheikh Jalal Al-Din Ali Al-Sagheer, who reportedly described Islamic Jihad as a "Shia" movement.

"These are baseless and false claims," Al-Hindi said. "Such claims defame the speaker who uttered them, because they incite sectarian clashes."

Al-Hindi said the claims are in line with the "attacks on Islamic Jihad, whose eye is on Jerusalem and the dangers of Judaisation after confronting the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip."

According to Anadolu, the Shia cleric recently appeared in a video calling all members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement Shiites.
