Sometimes religious texts are misinterpreted to commit terrorist activities, the minister said.

Muslim, Book 4, Hadith No. 1062 "Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon hlmg) said: I have been given superiority over the other prophets in six respects: I have been given words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning; I have been helped by terror (in the hearts of enemies): spoils have been made lawful to me..."
