DWDD — Muslim scholars conducted a prayer rally against extremism yesterday, March 13 at Golden Mosque in Quiapo, Manila.
The event was sponsored by the Ulamas and Muslim leaders in Luzon and Metro Manila.
The prayer rally was a response to the recent incident involving Saudi Arabian preacher who was shot and wounded in Western Mindanao State University compound in Zamboanga City.
Further, the group was quite alarmed on the video released by the Abu Sayaff Group where they showed the awful situation of their four hostages.
Meanwhile, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) laud the efforts of the Ulamas to end terrorism in the country.
AFP spokesperson Brigadier General Restituto Padilla said, “Such efforts are actually geared for the continued assurance that our communities will remain safe for our Muslim brothers, the youth, women and all vulnerable sectors of the community.”
“They help encourage our youth to avoid groups that trying to recruit them into extremist practices which is not the actual way of Islam.” Padilla added. (MCAG/LMC)
