Algeria: "Foreign fatwa brought about terrorism"
Imams denounced April 11 attacks and said them a major crime and sin; they further exhorted the so-called betrayed not to follow mystifications. Whereas religious affairs minister Mr. Abu Abdellah Ghlamallah called to putting an end to religious advice exported from abroad.Algiers religious affairs direction gathered yesterday Algiers mosque Imams at Dar al Mohammedia in order to denounce the terrorist operations. The meeting has been closed by a communiqué that considered April 11 attacks a breach to Koranic law aims claiming life, decency and properties to be preserved. When mentioning April 11 attacks, the Imam recalled that all Imams convene that killing oneself is an unforgivable sin, as the right to life is a holy right established by Koran, recalling that Koran forbids killing oneself, and that religious justification used by the terrorist act masterminds are misleading. The communiqué also underscored that unemployment, exclusion and ignorance cannot serve as an argument for terror. On another side, religious affairs minister denounced foreign religious scholar fatwa (religious advice) who allowed fighting in Algeria, but when terrorism broke up in their countries they started denouncing it. That'd be Soddy Arabia, of course. In the same respect, he refused to say that mosque brings about terror; he rather said mosque is a victim of terrorism as 96 mosque employees have been killed by terrorists. Some Imams criticised some press sources striving to alter mosque role through marketing lies and slander, while Ghlamallah talked about a press who hates Islam as it impute terrorism plague to mosques.
