By Esra Tekin

ISTANBUL (AA) – The move towards a digital-centric world seeks to create a new faith by harming the Abrahamic faiths, “especially Islam,” the Turkish president warned on Tuesday.

“The digital movement is striving to create a new artificial religion by targeting and undermining all Abrahamic religions, especially Islam,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech at the 7th Religious Council in the Turkish capital Ankara.

Erdogan also urged measures to protect Muslim values from falling into “digital belief systems.”

​​​​​​​“Urgent measures must be taken and implemented to protect all Muslim values against digital belief systems,” he added. ​​​​​​​
