NEW DELHI -- While addressing a gathering of Sufi leaders and scholars from at least 20 countries in the national capital today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Islam is a religion of peace, which had nothing to do with terrorism.
"When we think of the 99 names of Allah, none stand for force and violence. The first two names denote compassionate and merciful. Allah is Rahman and Raheem," Modi said.
Inaugurating the three-day World Sufi Forum, Modi gave his most detailed speech about Islam and Muslims in India since taking charge as Prime Minister, and very likely in his entire political career.
