They underlined that ignorance breeds extremism and leads to a clash of civilizations and, thus, it should be confronted.
The scholars regretted that the spread of extremism and radicalism has led to deplorable tragedies in the Arab and Muslim world.
They referred to the misuse of cyberspace as another reason behind the growth of extremism.
