Plan promotes dialogue and awareness of Islam (Google image)



Abu Dhabi, (IINA) - A strategic plan recently approved by the Muslim Council of Elders involves comprehensive projects for promoting dialogue and raising awareness, the national reported.

In addition to sending delegations of scholars and elders to hot-spots to explain that Islam does not support violence, there will be a programme that addresses some of the controversial matters facing Islam.

Conferences, conventions and workshops will be held involving religious figures, politicians, academics and business figures.

Another initiative, Madrasa in a Box, will select books that promote mainstream Islam and send them to religious institutions around the world to counter extremist literature.

An online channel will also be established to spread scholars’ sermons and interviews on Islamic issues. Newspaper opinion articles on the constructive role of Islam and an annual “State of the Ummah” report are also on the agenda.
