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.
