AACC2015,
Jakarta – President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Hassan Rouhani said,
respect for different religions, ethnicities and races is the foundation for
overcoming terrorism. Concrete action must be taken by religious leaders to
prevent terrorism and achieve tolerance.
“In
preventing terrorism, there is no difference between Islam, Christianity,
Judaism, Buddhism nor Africa, Asia and Europe. Religion must not become a
political instrument, especially Islam, which brings a message of peace for the
world,” said Hassan firmly in the first plenary of the 60th Anniversary AAC at
Jakarta Convention Centre (JCC), Wednesday (22/4).
He asserted
the need for prompt identification of the causes of youths to join terrorist
groups. “The problems of culture and economy that may lead to radical views
must be identified,” he said.
He added,
the problem of social justice should be a main consideration in order that
terrorist groups not be allowed to expand their influence. “Financial,
political and intelligence support for terrorist groups must be stopped,” he
said.
Hassan
labelled armed conflict in Syria and Yemen a common consideration. History
shows that military intervention has not been an effective solution to crises
experienced by these countries. Conflict resolution or settlement should be
conducted through dialogue.
Besides
this, Hassan affirmed that the Ten Principles of Bandung, which were first
declared 60 years ago, had been an inspiration for Iran in fighting against
arrogance. “Economic sanctions toward Iran for its nuclear programme has been a
demonstration of hostility and an example of dangerous steps,” he said.
The Iranian
people were inspired by the first AAC in Bandung in 1955 and by the values of
Islam to keep promoting cooperation towards peace. The Ten Principles of
Bandung, said Hassan, should be translated into concrete action, thus it will
manifest success for the New Asian African Strategic Partnership. “All Asian
and African nations should strengthen the spirit of association in facing the rapidly
changing world,” he said.

“. New Tolerance
Look for a softening of finger pointing and an awakening of new tolerance. There will remain many systems for different cultures, as traditions and history are important to sustaining the integrity of culture. So there are many in the Middle East who would follow the prophet and they will continue, but with an increase of awareness. It will be the increase of awareness of what the prophet really wanted all along - unity and tolerance. The angel in the cave instructed him to "unify the tribes and give them the God of Israel." You're going to start seeing a softening of intolerance and the beginning of a new way of being.
Eventually, this will create an acknowledgement that says, "You may not believe the way we believe, but we honor you and your God. We honor our prophet and we will love you according to his teachings. We don't have to agree in order to love." How would you like that? The earth is not going to turn into one belief system. It never will, for Humans don't do that. There must be variety, and there must be the beauty of cultural differences. But the systems will slowly update themselves with increased awareness of the truth of a new kind of balance. So that's the first thing. Watch for these changes, dear ones. ...."
