He said that the Arabs and Muslims are responsible for the
emergence of the Islamic State (ISIS). Arguing that ISIS the
organization is an Arab and Muslim creation because it was they who
allowed extremist views, a vengeance mentality, and nullification of the
other, he called for combating this approach, and for uniting the Arab
and Muslim ranks in the struggle against ISIS.
The newspaper asked Al-Alusi, who has visited Israel several
times, about his position vis-à-vis the country, and he replied that he
supports peace with Israel and longs for an Iraqi Embassy in Israel with
an Iraqi flag flying atop it. He also called Iran an “insane actor”
that is gambling with the lives of the Iranian people in its attempts to
take over the region.
