Aziz Hasanovic made the remarks in an interview broadcasted live on Iran’s state television on Monday night saying,” Religious leaders must show that Islam is the religion of coexistence and not terrorism”, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
Hasanovic criticized the European non-Muslim authors who write about Islam warning that these authors endeavor to show a tarnished image of Islam and Muslims to the world.
He expressed regret over disunity of the Muslim community in Europe despite the necessity of the solidarity much needed in the Islamic society.
When asked on the reason on Palestine remaining a focus of attention and the pro-Palestine rallies held in Europe and the US despite the Islamophobic campaigns, the grand mufti of Croatia said,” Palestine is an image of our present Islamic nation, a symptom of the lost capabilities of the international community that has not fulfilled the least rights the United Nations maintains for all.
He referred to the 1995 massacre of Muslims in his hometown Srebrenica saying,” Gaza is suffering the same genocide amid the inaction of the international community.”
