Maryam Rajavi: Extremists are misusing the name of Islam

Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, earlier this week wrote a commentary for Forbes exposing the un-Islamic nature of Islamic fundamentalists who massacre innoncent people in the name of religion.

Mrs. Rajavi pointed out that last week, billions of Muslims around the world celebrated Eid al-Fitr, which marks the joyous end of the holy month of Ramadan.

She added that the spasms of violence in places such as Orlando, Istanbul, Bangladesh and even Saudi Arabia are the deliberate outcomes of a frightening and aggressive world outlook that offers a twisted image of Islam.
