Since his appointment as Minister of Religious Affairs in 2014, Minister Eissa had repeatedly spoken of the authorities’ efforts to “protect local religious authority”.

Eissa himself is in a war against al-Ahmadiyya sect and Shiaism in the country.
Recently, he told state radio that Algeria was “a target for Islamic trends that are different from our culture and religious values that we inherited from the predecessors” in reference to several new sects that are spreading in many mosques in the country.
The minister, however, insisted that Islam in Algeria is a moderate one that promotes coexistence with other sects and religions.
