RI wants to redefine terrorism: Vice President Hamzah Haz has

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
