Zionists pursue anti-Islam policy after 9/11

Zionists have adopted a strategy to fight Islam following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in US to sow discord among Muslim states, head of IRI Majlis, Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel said on Tuesday.

 

The speaker arrived in Cairo on Tuesday heading a high-ranking delegating to attend a biennial interparliamentary meeting of the Islamic countries and give a keynote speech.

 

In a meeting with the officials of Egypt's Center for World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thoughts (WFPIST), Haddad-Adel said that Zionists were afraid of the current move of the world's young generation towards 'Islamic awareness'.

 

"The Zionists decided to pursue an anti-Islamic strategy after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in US," the speaker said.

 

He said that Muslims should find a way to bring Islamic states closer to each other in order to defuse the Zionists' plot to divide the Muslim world.

 

The speaker urged Iran and Egypt to play an active role in defusing enemies plots as two major countries of the Muslim world.

 

Haddad-Adel's three-day visit to Egypt is part of his two-nation African tour which will later take him to Sudan.

 

His visit is taking place at the official invitation of his Egyptian counterpart Ahmed Fathi Sorour.

 

In addition to participation in the 5th session of parliament speakers of the Islamic countries, due to begin today, he is expected to hold talks with a number of senior Egyptian officials on issues of mutual interest, including expansion of Tehran-Cairo cooperation.

 

Haddad-Adel will also meet with a group of Egypt's scholars and academics.
