Conference To Draw Line Between Terror And Resistance Say Organizers
(AKI) - A conference on Islam and terrorism organized by Mohammad Ali Taskhiri, the representative of Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei on Islamic movements worldwide, is scheduled to open in Tehran on 1 May. Some 150 researchers and policy makers from 26 countries are expected to take part in the talks on 'The Muslim world, the main victim of terrorism'. Among them are former Iraqi premier Ibrahim al-Jaafari, the leader of the Dawa Party, a member of the Shiite bloc known as the United Iraqi Alliance, and Pakistan's minister for Islamic affairs, Mohammad Aziz al Haq. "The main aim of the conference is to make a clear distinction between terrorism and resistance," said ayatollah Taskhiri on Tuesday. "Today the Muslim world is being attacked by international powers and shedding light on the issue has become a necessity in order to respond to the absurd accusations against us."
