Afghanistan Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs (MoHRA) says that no religious scholars are leading the terrorist and extremist activities.
Deputy of Ministry of Hajj declares that extremism is a phenomenon which comes from outside of the country and there are those who use the name of “Religious Scholars” and carry out terrorist activities.
Recently, concerns increased over promoting extremism in the country’s schools, but the Ministry of Hajj assures people that no religious scholars justify such acts.
Officials in the ministry called on Afghan people for a serious combat against this phenomenon.
Continuing global violence in the name of Islam reflects the deepest fears by certain Muslim factions of Western political, cultural, and economic encroachment.
The solution to the current antagonism requires finding common ground upon which to build mutual respect and understanding.
Meanwhile, deputy minister of Hajj noted that of the 70 thousand acres of land 24 thousand acres of them have been grabbed by influential people and powerful.
Daiulhaq Abed, deputy minister of Hajj affairs was satisfied of the transfer process of Hajjes to Saudi Arabia and added that around 8,000 hajjes have been returned to the country so far.
Of the 24 thousand Afghans who went for the pilgrimage to the Kaaba, 34 of them were killed and 5 others of them vanished.
Of these, 21 of them died due to natural death, 10 of them killed due to collapse of cranes, three of them died during the Mina incident and 5 others of them are still disappeared.

Mawlavi Abdul Kabir, the political deputy prime minister, said Wednesday in a meeting with a number of elders, scholars and youths of the Hazara ethnic group in Kabul that justice in light of Islamic Sharia is applied equally to everyone.
The deputy PM’s office said in a statement that Kabir stressed that discrimination and prejudice have no place in the Islamic system, but the main goal is to serve the people.
“There is no place for ethnic, sectarian and linguistic prejudices and hypocrisy in Afghanistan. All Afghans should work together for the construction, development and prosperity of Afghanistan,” the statement read.
At the gathering, elders and scholars of the Hazara community demanded resolutions regarding their legal cases and other problems and assured the IEA of comprehensive cooperation with the Islamic system, the statement added.
