Ihsaan Hendricks – 2015-04-09 – Imams need to know more about Islamic State threat – MJC

The MJC believes it is in our interest.

It is the interest of the family. It's

in the interest

of the larger Muslim community. It's in the

interest of the greater South African community

that

we come in close contact with the family

to get to the crux of the matter.

Assessment here today,

we realize that too many of our imams

who dedicatingly

serve their communities,

obviously, you cannot expect them to have the,

tools of an intelligence

agency.

But our imams,

know as little about the operations

of ISIS as sometimes

the common community out there knows.

But for us in senior position,

of leadership in the MJC,

who enjoys executive positions on such international,

establishments

such as the International Union

of Muslim Scholars

were then compelled to put some very extraordinary

information

in front of our imams

and say that,

we should not be deceived

by

the,

paraphernalia,

the external paraphernalia

of who claims to represent

the Muslim community and Islam

and claim to do it in the name

of Islam.
