Iran’s president made the remarks in his address to 13th OIC summit in Turkish capital on Thursday.
Noting the great history of Islamic civilization, Rouhani regretted the current situation of Islamic countries affected heavily by extremism and sectarian ideas, losing power towards the West; “in fact the process started when the great Islamic countries confronted each other instead of supporting and paved the way for foreigners’ intervention.”
He continued “history is repeating; Islamic world is under a multidimensional political, economic, cultural and religious attack by means of Takfiri and extremist groups, which whole world knows how they have been formed and by whom and how they are supported; their violence and savagery is victimizing Islam and its values.”
