ZAGREB, Nov 13 (Hina) - Representatives of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religious communities in Croatia condemned terrorism in the name of faith at the third interreligious meeting Tuesday. Preaching which calls for the killing
of innocent people for whatever reason is murder and is condemned by every religion. If religious leaders in their preaching call for murder, this is a religious manipulation and an antireligious act which cannot be justified by the term freedom of preaching, the high representatives of religious communities in Croatia said in a statement. In times when international terrorism involves religious elements, and some persons and organisations allow themselves to kill or to preach killing innocent people, there is a need for a clearer definition of religion and the abuse of faith.(hina) np ha
