Muslims Told To Raise Image Of Islam
2005-07-13
SHAH ALAM [Malaysia], July 12 (Bernama) -- Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo Tuesday night called on Muslims to raise the image of Islam which he said had been further tarnished after last Thursday's terrorist bombings in London. He said Muslims were no longer a respected community like during the days of the Prophet but were now labeled as terrorists and feared by all levels of society, especially in the Western countries.

"In the present day, we are feared, and regarded as immoral and prepared to do anything," he said at the opening of the state-level Quran Reading Competition here.

Mohd Khir said Islam had never taught its followers to become terrorists or to kill but the incident which led to the deaths of 52 people and injury of hundreds of others in London had made Muslims the target. He advised Muslims in the country to unite and help one another despite differences in their political affiliations.
