57 Muslim nations condemn terrorism

By: Nabil Raza

DAKAR, SENEGAL: At a two-day summit in Senegal, world Muslim leaders have slammed extremism and terrorism as incompatible with Islam and proposed a high-level international meeting to promote a "dialogue of civilizations" with Christians.

"We continue to strongly condemn all forms of extremism and dogmatism which are incompatible with Islam, a religion of moderation and peaceful coexistence," Leaders of the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which represents 1.5 billion Muslims across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, said in the "Dakar Declaration".

The Muslim body condemned acts of terrorism committed in the name of Islam.

But, in an apparent reference to the Palestinian fight against Israel, it said terrorism should be differentiated from "legitimate resistance against foreign occupation."
