MNA National Desk: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has stated that some people believe in an evil version of Islam, and it is they who demean our religion through militancy and terrorism.
‘Murder, attacks and bombing’ are especially prevalent in Muslim majority countries, said the prime minister at a conference of imams on Thursday. “It was in these countries that weapons were being mostly used.”
“But who produces these weapons?” she said. “Who benefits? They shed the blood of Muslims. They turn Muslim countries into battlefields. Who sells the weapons? I urge you to think about it.”
The prime minister was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the National Imam Conference at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre on Thursday.
“The final judgment is up to Allah. He will decide who is on the right path and who is not. Why do they not have faith in Allah to judge them accordingly? Why do they kill and say it is for religion?… You must teach people that Islam is a peaceful religion that does not believe in believe in militancy. They will listen to you.”
“Islam preaches solidarity and brotherhood. Our Koran says religion is a personal matter.”
The prime minister urged the religious leaders to help out in the fight against drugs and militancy affecting children and youth.
