‘Fight against terrorism is not against any religion, Muslims’
New Delhi: Jordan Raj Abdullah, during his visit to India on Thursday said the fight against terrorism and raidcalisation was not against any religion or against Muslims, but against extremism and violence.
"Today's global war against terror is not a fight between different religions or people. It is between moderates of all faiths and communities against extremism, hate and violence," the King said. "What is heard in the news and what is shown about religion is what separates people," he said.
Sharing his views on religion, Abdullah II said faith should hold humanity together.
He added that around the world, suspicions are inflamed by what different groups don't know about others. "Such ideologies of hate distort the word of God — to stir up conflicts and justify crimes and terror. "We need to take these things seriously... they should never be allowed to distract us from the truth that faith should draw humanity together."
The Jordanian King arrived on Tuesday on a three-day state visit. Earlier in February, he had hosted Modi in Amman.
