ISIS has released more than 20 photos of the destruction of religious shrines of both Sunni and Shi’ite saints in Nineveh, Iraq. A statement of ISIS stated that these shrines are idols and that the sharī’ah prohibits them and that Islam’s judgment is that they should be destroyed until leveled with the ground. The shrines include that of Sufī Saint Ahmad al- Rifā’ī, Shaykh of the Rifā’iyah sufī tarīqah (author not mentioned, al- Wafd, July 6, p. 6).
