Several Muslim clerics reportedly conducted sermons denouncing some NGO programs against Female Genital Mutilations (FGM) during Friday prayers in Burco on 28/03. While stating that FGM was against Islam the clerics explained that Christian ideology was behind anti-FGM programs conducted by a specific LNGO. The sermons had been reportedly triggered by the installation of anti-FGM banners by a LNGO in the town, some of which being judged offensive or ambiguous by the clerics. People attending the sermons went to the streets to remove these banners. Other banners that were judged conform to Islam were left in place. |
