Accepting Differences, Basis for Promoting Islamic Awakening Thought

Head of Iraq’s National Coalition Ibrahim Al-Jaafari urged that the foundation for promotion of the Islamic Awakening idea should be acceptance of different views.

In an address to the opening of the “Role of Muslim World in geometry of Global Power” International Conference on Tuesday, Al-Jaafari referred to verse 13 of Surah Al-Hujurat (49) of the Holy Quran “O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another,” and said the Quranic principle mentioned in this verse should be the basis for spreading the Islamic Awakening thought.
He underlined that in Islam, people have value for being humans even if they have different views, adding that people’s lives and properties should be respected and everything that undermines the value of human beings should be avoided.
The former prime minister of Iraq further said Islamic Awakening is not a temporary issue limited to the current revolutions, but it is a constant phenomenon.
The international conference on “Role of Muslim World in geometry of Global Power” was launched in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Tuesday morning.
A large number of thinkers and personalities from different parts of the Muslim world are attending the conference.
