Peace, a pillar of Islam:
Yusufu Djodjo Sangala, public relations officer for the Islamic region of Beni, recalled that Islam is synonymous with peace. He stressed that this religion advocates good manners, the spirit of sharing and communion with all communities.

Overcoming prejudices:
In a region where some associate Muslims with rebels, this call from COMICO aims to overcome prejudices and encourage mutual understanding. It is important to recognize that terrorism or extremism in no way represents the teachings of Islam. Islam is a religion of peace and brotherhood, which advocates peaceful coexistence between different religions and communities.
The role of religious communities:
COMICO also highlights the importance of the role of the different religious and social communities of Beni in the restoration of peace. It is necessary to develop relationships of trust and collaboration between different faiths to promote interfaith dialogue and build a harmonious future for all.
Conclusion :
The call launched by the Islamic Community in Congo for the culture of peace and tolerance between communities is an essential step towards the construction of a more inclusive and fraternal society. It is time to overcome prejudices and promote mutual understanding between all faiths. Together we can build a future of peace and prosperity for all.
