The role of Takfiri currents in fomenting discord among Muslims, the need for countering Takfiri currents in order to realize Islamic unity, the threat Takfiri currents pose to keeping alive the issue of Palestine, and the Zionist regime of Israel’s use of Takfiri currents are among the topics discussed at the three-day event.
Attended by prominent members and thinkers from Malaysia, Russia, Indonesia, Iraq, Lebanon, Thailand, UK, Australia, China, etc., the event provides the grounds for its attendees to exchange their views for sorting out the standing setbacks Muslim nations are mired in.
