abhors killing and unjustified bombings and violence against innocent
people and took exception to those branding Muslims as terrorists.
The AMF made the statement when a delegation of the group paid a
courtesy call on the corporate headquarters of Leadership in Abuja
yesterday. The President of the group, Mr Luqman Ameer who led the
delegation said, "Islamic religion stands for peaceful coexistence
among all people despite their religious differences, and that those
who stigmatise Muslims as terrorists are not being fair to the Muslims
and are ignorant of the basic teachings of Islam."
"The government and members of the public should not associate
bombings, killings and all acts of unjustified violence with Islam
because they are not compatible," he said.
Ameer condemned all forms of bombings in the country and called
governments at all levels to transparently tackle insecurity with
sincerity of purpose.
I think one of the major problems that encounter the proper
understanding of Islam is the wrong interpretation of holy Quran in
our individual languages and way of life.... May God help us all to
know God and do the things of God ...
