We demand probe on religious tension

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations for the wonderful article on special report (in The Standard on Saturday last week) captioned - Fear of God. We are Kenyans and Kenya is ours. We, as religious leaders, must be honest and preach truth from the pulpits and anywhere else. We must read and preach from the holy scripts and not from our myopic, hateful, sectarian thoughts and minds. Only then can we be seen as true religious leaders to our scripts and true Kenyans. No religion on this globe advocates hate, killings or destruction of life or property. Islam recognises any other religion, in that it says: “You who don’t believe in Islam, we have our religion and you have your religion, and no one believes in what the other believes, and you have yours and we have ours.”

That is the level to which Islam recognises other faiths. Islam doesn’t propagate for compulsion, as that is one’s own free will.
