The National Imam Council of Liberia has ended its third annual assembly with a call for the Liberian Government to grant two national holidays to Muslims in the country. The Imam Council said over the years, Muslims have been marginalized, even though they were in Liberia prior to its independence. The Council said giving Muslims two national holidays is not a big ask, as such, government must do all it can to ensure the request of the council is considered. Continuing, the National Imam Council also called on the government to employ Muslims at every government ministries and agencies as chaplains so that they can spiritually minister to Muslims at those institutions. Imam Krayee said Liberia no longer has the luxury of time to give Muslims their full rights like their Christian brothers and sisters.
