Muslims reject linking Islam to terrorism
Tripoli, Libya, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Muslim clerics and scholars meeting in Libya from around the world Tuesday denounced attempts to link Islam to terrorism as an injustice to one billion Muslims.
A final communiqué, issued at the end of a two-day conference in Tripoli organized by the International Islamic Daawa (Call) organization, called on participants to combat all actions that tarnish Islam and undermine its aspects of love and tolerance.
The conferees, some 500 clerics and scholars from 120 countries, condemned all aspects of injustice, enmity and the use of force such as invasions, sieges and wars in violation of international norms and principles, stressing that "developments in Palestine and Iraq are examples of injustice targeting Muslims."
They stressed the need to unify the Islamic stance and course of action throughout the world and determined to realize the message of Islam, which calls for peace and dialogue between peoples and civilizations.
"We call for a continuation of dialogue in order to show the true face of Islam and confront attempts to tarnish it," the communiqué said.
