Imams to use social media to counter ISIS influence
July 15, 2016
The social media initiative, led by Qari Fazlur Rehman, a
senior cleric of Bengal, comes after reports that ISIS is extensively using
social media to radicalise youngsters.
In a bid to dissuade the youth from getting attracted to
ISIS and other terror organisations, Imams in Kolkata are contemplating using
social media to spread the message of peace and educate them on the true
meaning of Islam.
The social media initiative, led by Qari Fazlur Rehman, a
senior cleric of Bengal, comes after reports that ISIS is extensively using
social media to radicalise youngsters.
“This has to be countered. Islam doesn’t teach us violence
or bloodshed. Islam teaches us peace and brotherhood. And our aim is to spread
the true version of Islam on social media in various languages so that it has
the maximum reach,” he said.
Rehman said that terror groups were luring the youth across
the globe through sites like Facebook, Whatsapp and Youtube.
“If you have to combat this trend you have to use the social
media so that young minds don’t get polluted by the malicious campaign.” he
said.
“Using the social media will give us an edge in spreading
the message of love and brotherhood. And this message will go down to the grassroot
levels at villages and Madrasas,” a cleric said.
