Iran president urges Muslim leaders to work to counter extremism

International

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has urged leaders of the Muslim countries to take the lead in creating a world free of violence and extremism.

“In this critical juncture in Islamic history… a harsh and fake image of Islam threatens the historical heritage of Islamic civilization and philosophy and our co-existence with other religions,” he said on Tuesday, according to Press TV.

President Rouhani made the remarks in separate messages to heads of Muslim states on the occasion of the beginning of the fasting month of Ramadan.

At such a point in time, Rouhani said, “it is necessary that… we present a real picture of the merciful Islam, the Islam of peace, amity, and brotherliness to the people of the world and lead the creation of a world free of violence and extremism.”

President Rouhani has campaigned for a World Against Violence and Extremism (WAVE) which was approved by the UN General Assembly in December 2013.

In his message to Muslim countries, he also urged that the holy month be a time of strengthening friendly and brotherly ties among the Muslim peoples themselves.

The Iranian president concluded the message by wishing for well-being of Muslim leaders and success for Muslim governments and peoples.
