A prominent figure of Al-azhar University, Ali Goma'a, participating in the opening ceremony of international Islamic conference in Kerala, India said, "He who seeks chaos actually seeks opposition with Islam and human nature".
"Whatever we should avoid doing to the Muslims, should be avoided about the non-Muslims, too." Said grand Egyptian scholar and stressed that Islam had based the pillars of ethics and human civilization, therefore he who seeks chaos actually opposes human nature which is a pillar in Islam.
In another part of his speech, Egyptian figure blasted western media for what they publish about Islam as fallacy and said, "A minority of Muslims are extremists however the western media generalize this extremism to all Muslims and publish lies about them."
He also reiterated that theology students had to try for an Islamic awareness and a coexistence with other religions.
Not denying the role of the religious leaders, Ali Goma'a pressed the point that the leaders of other religions had to strive for this coexistence respecting the identities and different cultures since interfaith dialogue was not possible without the mutual enthusiasm of two religions.
