Sheikh Mohammad Al-Hajj Hassan, the Iman Foundation's President for the Middle East, today delivered a speech during a ceremony honouring US Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood in Detroit. The event was attended by a number of political, media, security, and cultural figures.

Sheikh Al-Hassan said that “the world is witnessing a great surge in terrorism and takfiri militancy that threaten the security of our homelands and communities, and the future of the next generation. This terrorism has hijacked God’s name and religion, in addition to shedding blood and killing innocent people under the cloak of religion. We should uproot this underlying ideology rather than content ourselves with fighting the brand names that may come and go.

Preserve your nations because people who do not have a homeland have neither dignity nor value. Let us embrace our humanity and love the others, for those who are incapable of following the path of humanity while cherishing the values of justice and peace are incapable of knowing God’s way. God is love, goodness, and peace.

Finally, special thanks must go to His Excellency the Minister who, as an American patriot respectful of his Lebanese heritage, is making genuine efforts to serve his own country and that of his ancestors. We wish him all the best, and thank you all for your

kind attention.”

The ceremony was attended by US Congressman Darin M. LaHood.
