and study the Koran [in mosques, schools and government institutions] by religious teachers who will later become government officials. In support of this, Law 2013/4115 was issued by the Greek government. This law is known as the 240 Imam law. The doors have opened for the position with the first round of filled positions being 90 out of 240. So, 132 references were put forward with their applications along with religious and educational qualifications for nomination to undertake this government post. Following the intervention of the Mufti, and after extensive scrutiny, the committee of lawyers whose members were all professors and Muslim scholars suggested that the committee making the appointments should be made up just of Muslims. This was met with approval by some people and rejected completely by another department. I suggest that satisfying everyone is an unattainable goal. I also think that the hearts of people are not heaven and we do not try to remain there but we do what we think is right. In agreement with the principle of our law, there are benefits for Muslim minorities even if we get them from the instructions and commands of others. Thank you. Thank you for listening. May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. Presented by Hussein Housa Mohammed, representative of the Association of Religious teachers and Imam of the Central Mosque, Komotini, Greece.
