Muslim elites, thinkers and intellectuals expressed their views in this final statement including paragraphs on rejection of desecrating religious sanctities, vigilance against anti-Islam plots, supporting Palestine and its people and also supporting Muslim proximity, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA). The first paragraph in this statement stressed the importance of Islamic unity while the second paragraphs warn against plots to hijack the “The Islamic Awakening” and call that as “The Arab Spring”. An important paragraph in this statement rejects desecration of religious sanctities under the pretext of freedom of speech since the issue would violate social coexistence.
