of terrorism in Iraq, Pakistan, Kashmir, Palestine, those behind the
blasphemous acts and desecration of holy places and Mashaheer-e-Islam.

Imami said the bomb blasts at the holy mazars and acts of terrorism
are harmful to international peace therefore, all powers that be in
the Islamic World are under the obligation to give up their
reservations and lay out a combined and courageous strategy so that
the humanity could live in peace and tranquillity.

expressing concern over the heinous designs of international colonial
powers for targeting the Islamic World in general, and the motherland
Pakistan in particular of their heinous designs; publication of
blasphemous images in Denmark newspapers, making of blasphemous film
in Holland; razing of holy mazars of Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.)
and Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) on which the United Nations, OIC, ICC and the
whole Islamic World was keeping a silence despite their tall claims of
being the champions of human rights. The resolution said that after
the destruction of Afghanistan and Iraq, now the colonial powers were
considering Pakistan and its atomic assets as their biggest target and
in these circumstances there is need for the Islamic World to break
her silence and raise voice of protest jointly.
A resolution said that no power on earth could create difference in
Makatib, Shia and Sunni are two arms of Islam, they created Pakistan
jointly and by protecting it through mutual unity and brotherhood
today, they have proved that we are one and would thwart all
conspiracies of the enemy jointly. The resolution prayed for the
departed souls fell victim to incidents of terrorism to rest in peace
and for the early recovery of the injured beside expressing support to
the oppressed and hatred against the oppressors. The resolution said
that Hussain (A.S.) belongs to all and Hussain (A.S.) belongs to
Allah. Centuries have passed by, many dictators and tyrant rulers had
come and gone but Hussainiyyat is still alive and the peaceful protest
of the oppressed world in the shape of Azadari is going on providing
guarantee for survival, success, and blessing. This Azadari has
shattered oppression and brutality in every era and there is need to
continue Azadari till Zahoor-e-Mahdi (A.S.) so as to defeat the
oppression and brutality. Another resolution reiterated solidarity
