Take not life which God hath made sacred, except by way o f justice and
law (Al Anaam: 51)

Fighting injustice and realizing justice should be a legitimate undertaking
through legitimate means. We call on the Nation (Ummah) to adopt what is
necessary to achieve the strength and steadfastness needed to build itself
and ensure the preservation of rights.

No human whose heart is filled with light could be an extremist. We decry
the campaign that portrays Islam as a religion that encourages violence and
institutionalizes terrorism.

Throughout history, extremism has caused the destruction of great
civilizations. The tree of civilization wilts, and hearts close, when malice
takes hold. It is an evil alien to Islamic values of moderation and tolerance.

Today, we call on the international community to work seriously on
implementing international law and ensuring respect for U.N. conventions
and resolutions, ensuring that there are no double standards, that injustice
is uprooted and that people’s rights are returned. Achieving this will
contribute to uprooting the causes of violence, exaggeration, and
extremism.

The Islam that we are honoured to belong to calls on us to be involved in
modern society and contribute to its progress. To achieve that, Muslims
reach out in brotherhood to all those who love justice, reason, and
righteousness.

Islam guides us to express, earnestly, the realities of our lives, and to share
the soundness of our faith and beliefs. This is God’s call for coexistence
and piety.

Islam guides us to work on reforming the religious discourse of civilization
in our countries, through well-designed, practical scientific plans that focus
on rehabilitating preachers. These priorities will ensure broad public
awareness among these preachers of the true spirit of Islam and its
methodology in building human life, as well as providing them with
knowledge of contemporary culture and how to deal with their communities.

Say, Ihis is my way. I, and those who follow me, call for God with a dear
vision o f the truth. ’ (Yusuf: 108)

Islam guides us to deal with the communication revolution, by utilizing the
media in a sound, scientific manner, without weakness or emotional
outbursts. Thus, we may respond to accusations stirred by enemies of
Islam, while reaching all those who receive the messages of global media.

Islam guides us to build up the Muslim individual through the best of
education. Those who are confident in their knowledge and abilities are
