GROZNY, February 5. /TASS/. Head of Russia’s Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov said on Thursday the Islamic State (IS) is the creation of the United States and other Western countries that have declared a covert war against Islam.

"Wahhabis follow the path of Shaitans," Kadyrov said in his Instagram account.

"They take from Islam only what they want, though Islam is the word of Allah, and it cannot be taken apart. Reports make it clear that Islamic State’s activities aim to sabotage Islam from the inside, to make the world turn away from Islam. Their brutality, shootings, beheadings, burnings are the direct continuation of what the killers of righteous caliphs did. Islamic State is the creation of the US and other Western countries that have declared a covert war against Islam," Kadyrov said.
