Head of the Commission of Bangladesh Tariqat Federation: Islam opposes terrorism

29 November 2019


The purpose of international terrorism is to spread fear among all religions. For terrorism, there is no difference between religions and peoples. And it is a religion that is the main threat to terrorism. Head of the Commission of Bangladesh Tariqat Federation Syed Nazibul Bashar Maizvandary said today. 


"Religion is based on values such as love, patience and respect. It is the main threat to terrorism. Interreligious harmony is necessary in order to defeat the ideology of terrorism, " the expert said.


According to Maizvandary, the majority of Bangladeshis are Muslims, but the country's Constitution guarantees equal rights and opportunities for all citizens, regardless of religion and nationality.


The Bangladeshi delegate called on the OIC to make efforts to spread the message of Islam that will help eradicate injustice in the world.


"I propose to create an action plan to ensure interfaith harmony including all representatives of society. The plan should provide for the establishment of a Committee, mission statement, the role of religious leaders, government and civil society in promoting interfaith dialogue to counter terrorism and extremism", concluded Maizvandary. 


The topic of the meeting of the GSV "Russia-Islamic world", chaired by President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, this year is  "Interfaith harmony: the experience of Russia and OIC member-countries".


The event is timed to the 50th anniversary of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, as well as the 90th anniversary of the outstanding Russian political and public figure - one of the founders of the GSV "Russia – Islamic world" - Yevgeny Primakov.
