Nairobi Muslim Clerics Launch Peace Caravan
The caravan will visit the 47 counties spreading the message of peace, love and cohesion among Islamic youth starting with Nairobi and Mombasa, Standard Media reported.
Speaking at the launch Thursday in Eastleigh, Nairobi, NMC leader Ibrahim Abdullahi said terror attacks have divided Kenyans against religious lines and the initiative is a way of showing that Muslims are against it.
"Islam means peace and whosoever is compromising it, does not uphold the true values and teachings of the religion," he said.
Abdullahi condemned terror activities saying that terror groups are using divide and rule to create religious stereotypes which are victimizing Muslims.
He raised concern over the increase of disappearing Muslim youth who he says are being used by extremists to spread terror.
The launch was attended by several Christian representatives who have worked closely with NMC to create ways of eradicating youth radicalization. They expressed their support for the initiative saying it will go a long way in the fight against terror.
