moderation, fight against extremism and inter fighting.’
Majmou’atu
Rawdatul Majaalis delegations were invited to the conference by the Government
of Mauritania and organizers of the conference called Forum for Promoting Peace
in Muslim Societies, whose headquarters is located in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates.
Reflecting
on the conference, Foday Mahmoud Touray, General Secretary of MRM said they
were invited to the conference which
enable them to build partnership with the organiser.
He
explained that the conference was organized to promote peace, fight extremism
and eradicate infighting between the Muslim Ummah worldwide.
“The
conference discouraged in the strongest term for Muslims to describe their
fellow Muslims as unbelievers because of their different ideologies. We need to
discourage that believe within the Muslims themselves.”
He
said in addition to that, the conference was organized to promote mutual
understanding and love between Muslims, noting that they learnt a lot during
the period of the conference.
Kabiro
Samura, Deputy Mufti at MRM said over 500 Muslim intellectuals across the
continent attended the conference especially from Africa, disclosing that in
