Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has described his French and Turkish counterparts as opportunistic politicians trying to manipulate religion.
Speaking about the differences between anger and confronting insulting beliefs, the Syrian president referred to his French counterparts Emmanuel Macron and Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his speech during the extended periodic meeting held by the Endowments Ministry at the Al-Othman Mosque in Damascus.
Speaking about Muslim reactions to what happened in France recently, which he saw was characterized by reactions and anger, Assad said that between “attack, attack, condemnation and anger, religion becomes a ball that opportunists they throw the politicians. The first in France has elections next year and he wants to. ” It attracts people with Islamophobia, and the latter has elections in 2023 in Turkey, (Turkish President Recep Tayyip) Erdogan
Assad added that Erdogan “no longer had any lies that could convince his people and began to lose his popularity, so he decided to position himself as the protector of Islam.”
Al-Assad asked why nothing has changed after all the convictions and anger. Why do these abuses continue?
And he replied: “Because we only get angry, but we do not confront and there is a big difference between anger and confrontation, and everything that revolves around our feelings does not revolve around our interests, and when we talk about our interests, we do not they separate from our beliefs. “
Al-Assad explained that “anger is a natural reaction, but when the mind is not controlled, it becomes a simple outlet, and thus the enemies know that these communities can do nothing but anger”, and that anger as answer “did not become a thought or plan of action”.
Al-Assad said that religion triumphs not with anger but with application, and when religion is applied correctly in society, then society will be healthy and solid, and then religion will triumph.
Al-Assad believed that the distorted understanding of religion, misconceptions, practice, random behavior, and transient emotions and feelings despite continued abuse and persistence of the cause is what leads to “encouraging others to attack us. and offend our feelings. “
Assad asked: How do we fight? Where does the answer begin? To answer that “facing first with the knowledge of the real enemy and where it is, and said that the first enemy of any belief that does not come from outside and throughout history it has not happened that any doctrine collapses with an external attack.”
The fear of religion from outside is unjustified, and there is no place for it, the danger comes from within, and the danger is from the children of religion, followers of religions and followers of faith, and it begins with backwardness, extremism and intolerance, and the inability of the children of that creed to think correctly.
