Tehran to host conference on Islamic world, a victim of terrorismâ?T

The event is planned to help expand the culture of resistance in the
Islamic world, Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of
Islamic Schools of Thought, Ayatollah Mohammad-Ali Taskhiri, told a
press conference on Tuesday.
 
45 figures from 28 different countries will attend the conference,
Taskhiri said.
 
 

He said the main objective of the conference is to study terrorism and
the ways to confront it, the role of global powers in the emergence of
terrorist groups,

a distinction between legitimate defense and terrorism, and a
distinction between pure Islam and a distorted Islam.
 
Now the Islamic world is under the attack of the global hegemony, and
the enemies are trying to shatter the unity and resistance of the ummah
through sowing the seeds of discord between Muslims, he explained.
 
The enemy is trying to intertwine the concepts of resistance and
terrorism, delete the culture of Jihad from the Islamic system, and
portraying the Islamic resistance groups as terrorists, he observed.
 
The Islamic ummah needs to be more familiar with the culture of
resistance and be vigilant, he said, adding, Islamic vigilance delivers
lethal blow to the global hegemony.
