The Religious Authority, Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadlullah, received a
delegation of "Islamic Endowment (Wqaf) of Iqraa" headed by Omar Bakri
Muhammad Fostok, the director General and discussed with them many
current Islamic issues, in addition to the basis and perspectives of the
Muslim-Muslim dialogue. The delegation praised Sayyed Fadlullah's recent
call for serious dialogue among the Muslim Shiite sect and Sunni Salafi
groups amidst the variety of religious jurisprudential viewpoints and the
difference in many issues, ideas and beliefs.
During the meeting, both parties emphasized that the educational,
political and media wars as well as other wars that target Islam and
Muslims, should be faced by an internal Muslim-Muslim dialogue in order
to resolve many issues that prevent Muslims from communicating and
uniting in confronting the nation's enemies, especially that some people
lurk evil to attack the nation through igniting the fire of internal
strife and going too far in breaking its intellectual and educational
structure.
They also laid stress on the necessity of continuing to communicate on
all levels for the sake of Islam and Muslims.
