Manama: A Bahraini minister has warned against politicising religion, saying the rise of religious extremism would have disastrous consequences.
"It is very important religion is not politicised and everyone can worship in any manner they like. Religion is for God and the country is for all people.
"There are moderates and there are some extremists, even though in Bahrain they are not a phenomenon," Shaikh Khalid Bin Ahmad Bin Salman Al Khalifa, Minister of the Royal Court said.
"Fanatics and takfiriyoon [people who consider those who have ideologies different than theirs as unbelievers] must not be tolerated because they represent ideology terrorism that we staunchly reject," he said in an interview published on Tuesday by the Al Hayat daily.
