Extremists Tarnish Image of Islam: Afghan Clerics
The clerics stressed that terrorist attacks have no link with Islamic teachings and by committing such atrocities, terrorists want to create fear among the people and tarnish the image of Islam.
Talking on the Taliban attack, they said that Islam has strongly condemned terrorism and militancy in all its forms and manifestations.
"Attacks on mosques and holy places have no religious justification, the insurgents by targeting such places tarnish the image of Islam in the world's mindset,” said religious scholar Mawlawi Matiullah.
"The terrorists have conveyed a negative image of Islam in the world. But Islam is not like this, Islam has not allowed the killings,” said Mahmoud Danishjo, head of Balkh Hajj department.
Friday’s attack on the army camp killed an estimated 135 soldiers and left more than 80 others wounded.
