Hujjat-ul-Islam Dr. Hamid Shariari speaking at the news briefing of the 36th International Islamic Unity Conference, responding to a question by the correspondent of Taqrib News Agency (TNA) about the concrete measures taken by the conference on the main themes of the gathering, namely peace and refraining from division and conflict within the Islamic World said,” We are pursuing some projects in the Proximity Forum such as World Islam Network named “Saeed” as well as “I, Mohsen” which is a project aimed at exchange of services and service rendering to the Saeed Network. These two Projects are underway and God willing by materialization of these projects, positive steps will be taken in the practical works of the Forum.
The Regional conferences themselves and participation of 500 to 1000 scholars and thinkers in each of such gatherings could contribute immensely to collaboration and empathy among the scholars, said the secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought.
Dr. Shahriari added that the two Projects of Saeed and I’Mohsen are aimed at the Islamic Ummah and are an effort to follow the unified Islamic Ummah within the framework of network and network structures.
He also spoke of other practical efforts made by the Forum to fight back the enemy in the soft war lunched to create division among Muslims adding that tools of the soft war which we have in our disposal are mainly based on networks and cyber space.
In addition to these measures, we have embarked on holding face to face, meetings with Muslim scholars and getting in touch with academic centers of Islamic countries and a Sunni colleague has been appointed to follow up these undertakings and we hope that next year in addition to our regular proximity conference, we will have an academic gathering as well aimed at countering the influence of liberalism in the universities of Islamic world and in due time we will announce the measures taken in this respect.
Dr. Shahriars concluded his news conference by saying that he will elaborate further about these topics and will present a formula to bring unity among Muslim in his speech in the opening meeting of the Islamic Unity Conference.
