Foreign Minister of the Republic of Iraq, Ibrahim al-Jaafari has said terrorists killing innocent people in the name of Islam are not Muslims. "There is a group of terrorists and they raise slogans in the name of Islam. But they are not Muslims as they are killing (innocent people). They kill women and children. This is not true Islam," al-Jaafari said here yesterday.

The Iraqi minister is on a five-day visit to India. He was in the city for a day-long tour on the invitation of the Dawoodi Bohra community. Referring to the holy verses of Quran, he said, "Whatever is good for the well-being of the people will stay and what is harmful to the society, will go away."
