Karzai says religion misused to "kill and harm"

KUWAIT-Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who escaped an assassination attempt this week, said on Tuesday that religion was being misused to "kill and harm" and Muslim countries needed to join forces to fight extremism."We have an enemy within. Some of us misuse the name of our religion to kill and bring harm and destruction instead of be educated," Karzai told an Islamic economic forum in Kuwait City."We have to focus our efforts... to fight the enemy which is extremism that prevents us from developing, stains our image and destroys our life."Karzai's comments came after he escaped unhurt from Sunday's attack by Taliban fighters who fired guns and rockets at a parade near the presidential palace in Kabul. Three people were killed-a parliamentarian, the head of a minority group and a 10-year-old child-and 10 were wounded, officials said.
