“They sometimes strain the inter-religious relationships. And it’s disgusting that they purposefully relate terrorist acts to religious ideology. In different countries, they purposefully form a misconception about Islam and even try to identify Islam with terrorism. However, laws of world religions as well as the sacred laws of the religion of Islam are against rancour, hatred, violence and aggression. The joint cooperation of states, social and religious structures can be effective in addressing a peace problem both on a global and a local scale”, said Allahshukur Pashazadeh at the Washington forum, the Caucasian Muslims Office told APA.
The Sheikh-ul-Islam noted that one of the unsettled problems in the Caucasus region is the Karabakh conflict in which Armenians have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory and a million people were exposed to the policy of ethnic cleansing and this situation has been going on for over 20 years: “In the occupied territories Islamic, Christian and Jewish religious monuments were destroyed. And it can pave way to inter-religious confrontation. I consider that the joint efforts of religious leaders are important in terms of establishing peace and tranquility in the world, moral and spiritual healthy environment in societies and preserving traditional values. We should preserve and actively promote our unity and tolerance for the sake of humanity and salvation of mankind from global disasters.”
