KABUL - The enemies of Islam and Afghans want to fuel sectarian strife in Afghanistan but they would never achieve their goal, said the Wolesi speaker said on Monday. 
Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi congratulated all Muslims across the globe and the Afghans on the occasion of Eid Miladun Nabi, the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), a public holiday in Afghanistan.
He said the people of Afghanistan with their unity could save Afghanistan from nefarious designs and conspiracies of its enemies. “Enemies of Afghan people are out to divide them.”
He told the Afghans: “Be wise because the enemies of Afghanistan and Islam want you divided on ethnic and religious lines and engage you in infighting.”
He asked the Afghan people to observe the principle of ‘all Muslims are brothers’ and thwart all nefarious plots against them.
Maulvi Shahzada Shahid, a lawmaker from eastern Kunar province, said Islam was religion of peace and goodness and didn’t accept violence and terror.  He also believed some circles were trying to push the Afghans into ethnic clashes.
Ustad Mohammad Akbari, a legislator from central Bamyan province, said the Afghans besides ethnocentrism problem also faced a big problem of corruption.
He pointed to a recent report by the Integrity Watch Afghanistan that said three billion dollars were paid in bribery by the Afghans this year.

“The reason behind corruption is despotism and foreign colonialism because foreign colonialism wants to rule Muslims by dividing them and the ground for this is paved by internal tyranny in Muslim countries.” (Pajhwok)
