Islam is not a Religion of Terrorism' - Book Released

Islam is not a Religion of Terrorism' - 
Book Released and Symposium

















Udupi: A book titled “Islam Bhayotpadaneya Dharmavalla” (Islam is not a religion of
terrorism) brought out by Shanti Prakashana was released at the city Town Hall Udupi here
on Friday December 7, evening at 6:30pm. This is a Kannada translation of the Hindi book,
“Islam - Aatank Ya Adarsh” authored by Swami Lakshmi Shankaracharya. A symposium on
“Bhaya Mattu Bhramegala Madhye Prasaktha Samaaja” (Present society amidst fear and
illusions) was also held on the occasion.
Shree Sugunendra Tirtha Swamiji of Puttige Math released the book and inaugurated the
seminar.
Speaking on the occasion Shree Sugunendra Tirtha Swamiji said that religion and the
religious priests are being used for selfish reasons. They are taking advantage in the name of
God in an organized way. Communal flare up or disharmony is being created by some priests
sowing seeds of hatred.
No religion preaches Terrorism - such religion cannot be religion at all. Religion has the role
to uphold the righteous deeds. But never ever uphold terrorism. Hence, never can Terrorism
be an edifice of any religion, he said.
Those Politicians who fragment the nation and barter the country for selfish ends themselves
are the real terrorists. They are more dangerous than any other terrorists. Politicians don't
want to unite people of all faith. They introduce chasm or divide between people, with vested
interests.
It is not fair to blame the entire community over some individual doing wrong. There are
villains in every religion, they don't have any religion as such. We can cement relations
between religions when we get to know each other very well and live in harmony, Swamiji
said.
Jamaat e Islami Hind State Advisory Committee member Akbar Ali spoke about "Bhaya
Mathu Bhramegala Madhye Prasaktha Samaja (“Present society amidst fear and illusions”) in
the symposium held on the occasion. Mohammed Kunhi, Convener of Shanthi Prakashana
presided over the programme.
