“Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion.” Hamid did not explain how this “misinterpretation” of Islam became so widespread that there are now global movements based upon them. Nor did he explain what his government, or any other entity, was doing to combat this “misinterpretation.” Thus the only thing we can expect is that more Muslims will become Misunderstanders of their own peaceful religion, which apparently only political leaders such as Hamid and non-Muslims such as John Kerry and Pope Francis truly understand.
“Islam religion of peace: Hamid,” Financial Express, September 13, 2016:
President Md Abdul Hamid has said that Islam is a religion of peace. He urged all to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion.
“Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion,” the President said while hosting a reception marking the Holy Eid-ul-Azha, the second largest religious festival of Muslims, at Bangabhaban on Tuesday.
“No religion support militancy and terrorism…the main message of all religions is to ensure the welfare of people,” he added, according to a news agency.
