Association of Religious Officials (DIN-BIR-DER) reacts to the 5th Islamic Solidarity Games held in Turkey's Konya province.
“THE ACTIVITIES MUST ACCEPT ISLAMIC RULES”
In the written statement that pointed out the necessity for Muslims to organize various activities with unity and solidarity, it was stated that Islamic rules should be followed regarding the activities.
"Adding the word 'Islamic' to an event that includes acts and discourses against Islam, to say the least, is an abuse of religion and religious values," the statement said.
“SERIOUS STEPS MUST BE TAKEN FOR ISLAMIC UNITY”
In the statement, which pointed out that the actions and behaviors of Muslims prohibited by Islam were included in the action, called for the Islamic Union.
"It should abandon the non-serious organizations that serve the idea of moderate Islam and interfaith dialogue and take serious steps towards unity and solidarity, unity and Islamic unity with science and wisdom," the statement added.
“GAMES MUST BE MADE ACCORDING TO ISLAMIC PROVISIONS”
In the statement calling for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to intervene regarding the event, "It should ensure that the organization in question takes place within the framework of Islamic provisions or he should stop adding the word 'Islamic' to games," it was stated.
