“Those who are unrightfully killing people and carrying out acts of violence and extremism in the name of Jihad, religion or Islam are, wittingly or unwittingly, treading the path of [promoting] Islamophobia and [are actually] fighting against Islam,” Rouhani said in a meeting with the delegates to the Islamic Unity Conference in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Friday.
Rouhani censured terrorism and violence in the name of Islam in any part of the world.
“We condemn extremism, violence and terrorism whether in Palestine, Lebanon and the Levant or in Paris and the US,” “We are very happy that Muslim people in the region from Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine to Pakistan and Afghanistan resist extremism, violence and terrorism and achieve new victories on a daily basis,” the Iranian president stated.
Rouhani emphasized that Iran condemns every person who supports terrorism and violence whether in the regional countries or in Europe and the US.
