| Salafist ideas that distort history are no longer a threat to national religious reference |
| 2010-12-25 |
| [Ennahar] Minister of Religious Affairs and Awqaf, Bouabdallah Ghlamallah said Thursday in Algiers, that "the Salafist ideas that distort history and misrepresent the reality are no longer a threat to national religious reference," stressing that efforts had led to "immunize" the mosque against these ideas. "The proponents of these ideas are confined to the corridors of universities and around certain mosques," said Ghlamallah during a plenary session, the Council of the Nation, devoted to answers to oral questions. The minister stressed that the national effort in this area had led to "immunize" the mosque and imams against these ideas, adding that "commitment to defending the religious reference has become a national standard for recruitment of imams". "The mosque is a social institution that must work in coordination and harmony with other institutions," said Ghlamallah. Regarding the relationship between the imam and the religious association, the Minister recalled that it (the relationship) was "governed by the laws of the republic," adding that his department is waiting for the Ministry of Interior and local authorities present the draft revision of the law on associations to propose an amendment to even avoid any dispute between the imams of mosques and religious associations ". |
