Islamic scholars and clergymen, mainly from the Arab world, on Sunday endorsed support to India's fight against terrorism, asserting that people who engage in barbaric acts like terrorism have no place in Islam.
The experts also condemned last year's Mumbai terror attacks during a seminar, 'Unity, Love and Tolerance', organised by Sahyog Cultural Society.
Dr Mohammed Shahumi, an advisor to Col Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, said terrorism needs to be condemned in all forms.
"We have to tackle terrorism in the strictest manner. What we have seen in Mumbai last November is actually a crime against humanity and today's world order would never tolerate it," he said.
Chairman, Sahyog Cultural Society, Sami Bubere said the Holy Koran deals with the issue of terrorism by teaching Muslims never to become terrorists in the first place.
"The Holy Book says that in the sight of Allah, persecution, or making people constantly fear for their lives, is much worse than killing," he said.
Others who delivered lectures at the seminar included -- Mohammed Refaat (President, Muhib Ahle Bait Association and General Secretary of Socialist Wifaaq Party, Egypt), Abdullah Hafizi (General Secretary, Al Adarisa International Association, Morocco), Mustafa bin Yusuf (Professor Morocco University), IAS Al Mufti (Vice President, Al Hashmi League, Jordon) and Khadija Al Sibahi (Women Leader of Al Ashraf's Adarisa).
