For example, we have tribalism to address, which is still a major problem,\u201d said Imam Krayee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last election saw a division of Liberia passing along regional lines. Also, we still have the issues of religion. On the surface, it appears great,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do appreciate the effort made by sincere Liberians addressing the religious divide, but we still have some long way to go,\u201d Imam Krayee explained.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that the demand for Muslim holidays to be legislated remains unresolved, stating that Muslims are determined to be very peaceful in this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we really want this country to be united, we have to allow Muslim workers and students [to] celebrate the end of Ramada and Abraham just as Christians do,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that it\u2019s good to go beyond the rhetoric and the fine speeches and work toward the people\u2019s integration, unity, and unification.<\/p>\n<p>He called on Liberian leaders not to play deaf ears with issues that are still unresolved in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The vocal Islamic leader indicated that the Government of Liberia should sincerely address these issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything that happens in this country, whether positive or negative, will affect all of us, and so we all have the responsibility to promote a peaceful and united country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
