Muscat : Grand Mufti of Oman, Shiakh Ahmed Khalili is of the view that discord and disunity among Muslims as well as Muslims’ inability to introduce true principles and teachings of Islam to the world gives the courage to Western extremists to blaspheme Islam. He underlined that the current blasphemies against Islam and its sacred icons and values, especially insults against Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) and the Quran originates from hostility of the West toward Islam and Muslims.
Speaking to IQNA, the Mufti said that enemies of Islam attempt to spread a marred image of Islam through blasphemy and to distort core Islamic values as a means to hurt the feelings of Muslims. The Omani Mufti argued that such sacrilegious actions will, contrary to the intention of Islam’s enemies, motivate Western intellectuals and citizens to closely study Islam, the Quran and Prophet’s conduct, which are all peaceful and justice-seeking teachings.
