“But those who claim introversion, mating, pay Zakat among themselves, to form a sect but they will not succeed because what was done by the security, justice services, imams and the Algerian media exposed their plan. We shall hide our wounds because that battle is over, and we want to spread awareness among our youth who were affected by it to return to their point of reference.”

Religious Affairs’ Minister, said during his supervision on Saturday, at the opening of the works of the th International Meeting of the Koran at the University of Islamic Sciences in Constantine (eastern Algeria), which focused its theme on “managing the Koran .. reality, rules, keys and obstacles”, that was organized by Sheikh Abdelhamid Ben Badis School, Religious Committee for the mosque of Al Amir Abdelkader, on the occasion of the month of victories of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and over the three days, he pointed out with regard to attempts to rearrange and correct the Koran errors, as they are old attempts by some of what he called the half-educated, and some worshipers, asserting that the Koran’s force in Algeria is that it is learnt by heart for  Algerians, and it cannot be distorted.

“With respect to Koranic schools in Algeria, they are conducted under an executive decree in 1994, and the relevant legal text will be reviewed soon to insure Koranic schools that are unrecognized, as there will be a notebook and conditions under which schools will be accredited and its approach will be changed otherwise it will be closed”.

“Special committee was created at the level of the ministry that includes lawyers, university professors, for teaching the Koran, and state frames, aiming to secure the community, after it was revealed the existence of associations that are completely unrelated to religious space, and that open Koranic schools with intellectual backgrounds, but they have in fact sectarian background. Algeria counts over 139 Koranic schools, and we will deepen the search to uncover the truth about these schools”.
