Damascus, SANA – Participants in the First International Conference for the assassinated Imam Mohammad Saeed Ramadan al-Bouti called for concerted efforts to be made by the Arab and Muslim Nations to confront their common Israeli enemy.
Efforts should not miss the real target, that is the Israeli entity, and must be directed to liberating the occupied Arab territories, including Palestine’s al-Aqsa Mosque and Syria’s Golan, the participants said.
They added that keeping track of these aims is what needs to be done based on the Late Imam’s warning of the conspiracy hatched against the two nations before his death last two years ago.
Al-Bouti, a prominent Islamic scholar, was martyred on March 21, 2013 after a suicide terrorist blew himself up inside al-Iman Mosque in Damascus while the late martyr was giving a religious lesson.
The participants stressed that what is currently going on in the Arab and Islamic countries is a takfiri wahhabist proxy war waged by Zionist forces, speaking in a final statement of the two-day conference that was organized by Ministry of Awqaf (Religious Endowments), Ministry of Higher Education and the Levant Scholars’ Union to mark the second anniversary of al-Bouti’s assassination.
They referred to the campaign currently launched against Yemen, viewing it as being part of the large-scale conspiracy targeting the Arab Nation and Islam.
The participants agreed that al-Bouti’s approach to Islam, which upholds unity, love and peace and denounces violence, is the “right” one as it is consistent with the holy Quran and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad.
Minister of Awqaf Mohammad Abdul-Sattar al-Sayyed clarified that the takfiris deliberately misused the Islamic slogan of “Jihad” to exploit the concept in service of their and their sponsors’ agendas.
The Minister condemned the attitude of some people who call themselves “clergymen” or “scholars” while they call for shedding the blood of the Syrians and devastating their country.
Muslim scholars from Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Russia and Iran as well as representatives of the civil society took part in the Conference.
