Terrorism Isn’t To Be Associated With Any Religion says Amit Shah

Describing the financing of terrorism as a bigger threat than terrorism, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday that it should not be linked to any religion, nationality or group.

Addressing the third ministerial conference on counter-terrorist financing on the theme 'No Money for Terror' at Hotel Taj Palace in the capital, Amit Shah said that giving protection to terrorists is tantamount to promoting terrorism. And it is the collective responsibility of all the countries that such elements and such countries should never succeed in their intentions.

He also said that terrorists are constantly finding new ways to commit violence, radicalize youth and raise financial resources and spread radicalized material by using cybercrime tools and concealing their identity.

Amit Shah said, “Undoubtedly, terrorism is the most serious threat to global peace and security but I believe that the financing of terrorism is more dangerous than terrorism because such financing feeds the 'means and methods' of terrorism. Apart from this, the financing of terrorism weakens the economy of the countries of the world.
