RNA – Speaking at the specialized conference on “Diplomacy of Alliance: Needs and ‎Strategies” held at the Islamic Revolutionary Research and Cultural Institute, Hujjat al-Islam ‎Mohammad-Hoseyn Mokhtari, the director of Qom’s University of Denominations and ‎Religions, said, “In our era, Islam is being attacked from two sides.”‎
‎ ‎
The member of the board of directors of the Imam Khomeyni Educational Research Institute ‎added, “On one hand, arrogant powers are opposed to the principle of religion. From the ‎past, the enemies have strongly sought to eradicate religious beliefs from the human mind ‎and they have used all means and capacities to achieve this but have failed and they ‎understood that it is impossible and can’t eliminate the principle of religion.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam Mokhtari‎ said that in order to target the principle of religion, the enemies ‎presented a contradictory image of this religion and said, “In order to deviate religion, they ‎created violent sects and extremist groups, such as Daesh, to weaken Islamic beliefs in ‎Islamic societies. Dynamic and living Islam and Islam which brings society into motion, ‎movement and uprising is definitely at odds with the interests of the arrogant powers of the ‎world.”‎
‎ ‎
He continued, “Therefore, they have promoted a form of Islam without a foundation and ‎basis because such a form of Islam doesn’t contradict their developmental and hegemonic ‎interests and through this means, they create tragedies and calamities in the Muslim world.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam Mokhtari continued, “Religion is timeless and is consistent with human nature ‎and today, its enemies are in an atmosphere of fanaticism and classism. Therefore, with this ‎in mind, the mission of the religious scholars and academics of Islam to illuminate the ‎general opinion of the public, especially the younger generation, must be doubled. In ‎addition to this, the efforts to recognize correct Islam and create awareness of the true ‎identity of extremist groups must be doubled.”‎
