With reference to the article "Al-Azhar chief urges education reform to curb extremism" (Feb. 23), it is often emphasized that perceptions are more important than the reality. Indeed, many times they may seem to prevail over facts but, in the short and the long term, truth invariably prevails. That is the moral of the history of the world from day one of human creation to the timeless future. Muslims are overwhelmed by propaganda from all around. It all started with a virtual reality of fundamentalism that is baseless. Muhammad Sarmad Alamgir Dar, Online response This requires common understanding. Muslim is one Ummah is main a part of Islam. Scholars, not only religious but scholars fromh all fields, should sit together to form a common explanation on some controversial subjects which are misused mainly by the illiterate followers of Islam and backed by some greedy colonialists. Rich Muslim countries should come forward for this. Ashref, Online response It is true that education reforms are needed to combat terrorism. I wish Muslim countries will spend more money in education. Uneducated community easily accepts corrupt lifestyle and in the future corruption bombs will be spreading in the world as a major tool of terrorists. Khalid Sohail, Online response An example of all that is wrong with some leaders. So he does not want Muslims to make accusations against other Muslims? Eila, Online response
