Egyptian President Sisi: Muslims Need To Reform Their Religious Discourse

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi said Thursday that Muslims need to adapt their religious discourse to the present and eliminate elements of their rhetoric that could foster violence.

“Islam is a tolerant religion, but this wasn’t always clear to the rest of the world during the last 20 or 30 years,” Sisi said during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “The terrible terrorist attacks and this terrible image of Muslims led us to think that we must stop and think and change the religious discourse and remove from it things that have led to violence and extremism.”

  • Matagal na nilang pinag-uusapan iyan,even before the creation of the Muslim brotherhood. Most Muslims where against Haj Mohammed Effendi Amin el-Husseini back then, but this guy was so influential and dictates the course of Islam in the 20th century. The Muslim world should heed to Sisi's proposal and Sisi needs the make partnership with the pope and Orthodox leaders in the Muslim world to end violence and promote religious tolerance in Muslim countries.

    Natatakot ako para sa kanya. Ipinagdarasal ko na iligtas siya sa anumang gagawing pagtatangka sa kanya pati na rin sa kanyang mga minamahal sa buhay.
