Religious leaders can help avert such threats by condemning al-Qaeda and its ideology, particularly its use of Islam to justify violence, Elekdag said. "In the Muslim world most people consider that al-Qaeda's religious concept abuses the religion of Islam," he said.
Verski lideri mogu da pomognu da se izbegnu takve tragedije time što će osuditi Al Kaidu i njenu ideologiju, posebno njeno korišćenje islama kako bi se opravdalo nasilje, kaže Elekdag. „U muslimanskom svetu većina ljudi smatra da Al Kaida zloupotrebljava islamsku veru.“
