Another Sharia ruled country in the make?Serbia: Mufti to run in presidential race.(IIE).NOVI PAZAR -- Islamic Community in Serbia Chief Mufti Muamer Zukorlić announced on Saturday that he will run in the upcoming presidential elections.“My candidacy is based on conviction that the state and the society are on the verge of a precipice and I will offer an authentic salvation program which will be acceptable for all Serbian citizens,” he told a press conference in Novi Pazar. When asked whether he would enter the presidential race as a candidate of a group of citizens or some party, he said that he would probably be a candidate of a party. “I will make a decision by Monday,” Zukorlić said and added that his candidacy was not so unexpected. “I want to take the responsibility because it would be very selfish of me to hide a high-quality program from the public in a situation when you have ‘pale’ programs of all other candidates,” he explained. When asked whether he would support any of the candidates in the runoff, he said: “There is no doubt I will get a considerate amount of votes. We can talk about it after the elections. What is certain is that I will not fail the votes I receive and that they will be used in accordance with the program I am promoting,” the mufti stressed. He added that he would give up his position in the Islamic Community in Serbia “when he wins the presidential election”.Read the full story here.
