Hujjat-ul-Islam Hamid Shahriari, in his speech at the opening ceremony of the conference held in Mashhad denounced the Israeli regime and its allies as a ‘gang of criminals’ who tarnished the human dignity of millions of people in the besieged Gaza Strip and Lebanon, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
He referred to the Israeli massacre of more than 17,000 children leaving another 26,000 minors parentless in over a year of Israeli genocide of the civilians and said,” It is our responsibility to assist them (people in Gaza and Lebanon) to protect their families.”
He made the remarks at the first international conference on ‘Human Dignity and Family Challenges in Modern World stressing that the meeting aims to activate the potentials of the Muslim world academics and promote Islamic objectives.
He called the conference as a counterpart to the annual Islamic Unity Conference held by the major Islamic unity center, World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought.
Hujjat-ul-Islam Hamid Shahriari referred to a new world order that has been formed in post-WWI and WWII that expanded the western dominance over much of the Indian peninsula, Iranian Plateau and the Ottoman Empire and disintegrated the eastern territories.
He said,” Now we are witness to an inversion of the hierarchy in history that new powers have emerged in the east including the economic power of China, demographic changes in the Indian peninsula, resistance of the unified Islamic ummah (nation) led by the Islamic Republic of Iran and also a renovated Russian power rising against the west.”
He said that the world arrogant powers are struggling for re-domination of the newly-emerged powers in the fields of economy, military and culture.
The cleric added that in the formation of the new world order we should shoulder three responsibilities: building a mighty Iran and Islamic states to support all Muslim nations in face of the tyrants, building a powerful economic structure in collaboration with all Islamic countries and also entering a cultural confrontation with the west which is using the modern technology to inject its values to the minds of the younger generation.
He said that the conferences on human dignity will focus on the third responsibility which since long has been pursued by the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought in order to activate the potentials of the Muslim academicians in line with promotion of Islam.
According to the cleric, Muslim university professors and academics from across the globe have sent more than 300 abstracts to the secretariat of this first conference on “Human Dignity and Family Challenges in Modern World.”
Ten universities from Iraq and 20 universities and research centers from Iran have sent their representatives to the first conference on human dignity held in Mashhad
