Islamic scholars seek protection for Shia mosques in wake of Kunduz bombing

Kabul, Oct 12 (UNI) In the wake of a deadly attack on a Shia mosque in Kunduz on Friday which killed over 100 people and left 150 others injured, Islamic scholars have sought protection from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan for Shia places of worship citing security concerns for the community, especially at religious gatherings.
“We ask the Islamic Emirate to ensure the security of holy places and do not deceive the people. People are tired. We only want them to ensure our security... We just want this,” said Imam Razawi, a religious scholar, Tolo News reported.
Several residents of Kunduz called the suicide bombing on Friday a tragedy which brought suffering to a great many families. “This is so painful to be martyred at the time of praying,” Sayed Abbas, a Kunduz resident, said.
