Prayer leader in Belgium condemns western attacks on Prophet (PBUH)
Brussels, Oct 23, IRNA Belgium-Eid Thousands of Muslims in Belgium flocked to mosques Monday morning to offer Eid-ul-Fitr prayers which mark the end of the month of Ramadan.
The biggest prayer gathering was held in the Islamic Centre mosque in Brussels, where the prayer leader (imam) in his sermon strongly condemned the insulting cartoons and statements against the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) in the West as "intellectual terrorism." The Arab imam called on the West to respect the religious symbols and beliefs of others.
Many papers in the West have published cartoons insulting the Prophet (PBUH) and recently Pope Benedict XVI also made insulting remarks about Islam and the Prophet (PBUH).
Muslims are weak today because they have deviated from the true path of Islam, the imam said, and stressed that the only path to salvation for Muslims both in this world and the hereafter is to follow the teachings of Islam and the way shown by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
The imam urged Muslims in the West to practice and show the real face of Islam which is based on peace, tolerance and respect for others.
An estimated 450,000 Muslims mainly from Morocco, Turkey, Tunisia and Pakistan live in Belgium, which has a population of 10 million.
