Most of the imams, during Friday sermons, condemn terrorism and declare Islam a religion of peace and tolerance. They try not to make provocative speeches on current affairs. However, there are mosques where imams pretend to be experts of international relation and I happened to come across one this past Friday. Throughout the sermon, the imam kept on bragging about how the Western propaganda was ruining the economy of Pakistan. He repeatedly warned everyone to be wary of enemies of Pakistan. The imam convinced people to join a rally the same day in front of the Parliament so that drone strikes in strongholds of terrorists could be seized.
I urge authorities to condemn such sermons which induce hatred through lies against other countries.
