RI wants to redefine terrorism: Vice President Hamzah Haz has
called on the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) to
formulate a new definition of terrorism that fits the aspiration
of the world's Muslim population. "Linking terrorism and violence
with a God-given religion is a wrong way to think, and is based
solely on prejudice and suspicion," he said at a gathering to
commemorate the Prophet Muhammad's birthday on Tuesday evening at
Istiqlal Grand Mosque, Central Jakarta. "Calling followers of
Islam 'terrorists' is the mistake of those who are anti-Islam,"
he said, adding that terrorism could occur anytime, anywhere, and
was not related to religious teachings. -- Antara
