He said,” Islamic Republic of Iran has successfully introduced a model of coexistence to the world people and provided the grounds for advancement of the ethnical groups in Golestan Province.”
According to the senior cleric nearly 600 Shia and Sunni elites from across Iran and the neighboring countries Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and other neighboring countries will participate in the second Regional Islamic Unity Conference.

According to the cleric new Islamic civilization is formed when absolute freedom is provided for all denominations and they can not only lead their own style of life but also promote their ideologies in their schools.
He counted cooperation and mutual collaboration among denominations as a necessity for new Islamic civilization and added,” If the Islamic ruling system provides the grounds for capabilities of different denominations to be introduced, then all of them will follow the new Islamic civilization.”
Top cleric also referred to the role of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought in promoting Islamic unity across the globe and said,” If we can provide a proper role model in our country, then we can call for proposals for “unified ummah” across the globe.”
Hujjat-ul-Islam Shahriari touched upon ways to confront Islamophobia and stressed,” This is a project developed after the Islamic Revolution as the world arrogant powers felt threats in front of the high ideologies of Imam Khomeini (RA) and began nurturing extremist Islamist groups like Qaeda and ISIL in order to introduced Islam as a religion of violence and terror.”
