Croatian Islamic Leader Speaks at NATO Allied Command Operations

MONS, Belgium – As the first Islamic Mufti to visit NATO Allied Command Operations, Croatian Dr. Aziz Hasanovic gave an in-depth presentation on using the comprehensive approach to integrate religious aspects into training, tactical, and humanitarian assistance missions, on April 10, at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe.

Bringing together a wide variety of NATO experts, planners, and personnel, Hasanovic focused much of his discussion on past and future ISAF operations, emphasizing that it was of the utmost importance to have a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of cultural, religious, and tribal motivations in Afghanistan.

Throughout his presentation, Hasanovic reiterated that in order to prevent the loss of life on both sides of the Afghan conflict, it is necessary for NATO soldiers to build a mutual understanding with the Afghan Security Forces and to analyze situations from the perspectives of the Afghan people.

To illustrate his point, Hasanovic described how overlooking the religious and cultural aspects of a mission can give the adversaries increased recruiting capabilities and reasons to continue the conflict.



Hasanovic laid out key points that NATO should take into account: principles of Islam, understanding of the Islamic world today, understanding the differences between the Shia and Sunni aspects of religion, and the tribal mentalities in Afghanistan.

In closing his presentation, Hasanovic said the basic principle of operating in Afghanistan and integrating religious aspects into operations is as simple as treating others how you want to be treated.

Following his presentation, Hasanovic spent the remainder of the day in round-table discussions with Allied Command Operations leadership, further discussing the impact of religion on NATO operations.
