Terrorism is more political than religious - Sheikh Mohammed Bagnya

"When I look at what happened in Iraq it saddens my heart that Muslims fasting in the month of Ramadan where everybody is supposed to be sober and have a serious reconnection or proper reflection of who God is but yet some people under the name of religion will want to kill and destroy many and this highly un-Islamic.”

Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Bagnya

He was of the belief that it is an evil act perpetrated by the enemies ofIslam who claim to be Muslims but don’t understand the very core of the religion.

He explained:

He made reference to the fact that Islam means submission and peace, while terror means an extreme thing thereby making it two different worlds.

Islam represents total peace and submission to the will of the Almighty and spreading peace and showing love a hallmark, any act contrary to that is not Islam, like bombing innocent people, he said.

he added.

The television anchor further explained that even though terrorists mention the name of Allah in their activities, it has nothing to do with the religion because the teachings of the holy book (Quran) does not teach violence in any form.

Sheikh Mohammed made reference to the recent attack carried out close to the burial place of Prophet Mohammed in and said no true Muslims will do that because according to the teachings, so much respect is accorded to the Prophet of Allah (Mohammed).
