                    [Title] => PNP asks Muslim leaders: Define martyrdom
                    [Summary] => A ranking Philippine National Police (PNP) official appealed to his fellow Muslims yesterday to justify the meaning of "martyrdom" in the Koran.


Senior Superintendent Sukarno Ikbala, head of the PNP-Task Force Salaam, said Muslim leaders — or Ulamas — must educate the faithful on the true meaning of the word since it is being misused by extremists to justify terrorism.

While the dictionary defines martyrdom as the suffering and death of a martyr, Ikbala said extremist groups have their own interpretation of the word.
