The Council said such threats that provoke extremism, undermine religious coexistence and societal harmony, deeply divides a nation and promotes unforeseen future instability. Monrovia – The National Civil Society Council of Liberia (NCSCL) through its leadership has sharply condemned Liberia’s top Muslim clerics over alleged comments made at a dinner organized by Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) in commemoration of Ramadan. However, in a statement issued on Tuesday, the Civil Society Council said the comments made by the Muslim leaders undermine national security and further have the propensity to ignite instability in the Mano River Union (MRU) Sub-region. It called on the Muslim Community through the Inter Religious Council of Liberia to engage relevant stakeholders and build a national case supported by all religious and traditional segments of the population. “Let us maintain the peace, respect the rule of law, uphold religious harmony and stay away from radicalization,” it urged.
