(SALEM, Ore.) - The Islamic Radio and Television Union summit (PBUH) radio and television meeting which recently concluded, introduced superior products and gave appreciation of various media from Islam, as well as a celebration of Majid Majidi, the great film director of "Muhammad". That took place Tuesday in the Conference Center of IRIB. Majid Majidi recently ended his television career.

Mr. Ali Karimiyan, at the closing ceremony of the meeting, said discussions had been held regarding the "prophet of mercy, resistance media mission", according to the news headquarters of the Eighth General Assembly of the Islamic Radio and Television Union.

Mr. Karimiyan said that, "God willing, next year there will be a strong focus on the mission, rather than to introduce the real Islam and provide Gentle face of the Prophet (PBUH) and identify the plots of enemies and deal with global arrogance map to find success."

Regarding the flagship programs of the eighth summit meeting, Grand Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei raised a very important material point. He said, "prismatic leadership speech is fundamental to our media activities so we constitute a Committee in Union that their statements to the Secretariat are to be used to develop media strategies."

He added that the main mission of the Islamic media is the fight against the oppressors and defending the oppressed, adding that "all of us are ready to get killed in this way, this promises to families of martyrs that we remain consistent in this path."

Majid Majidi, the director of Muhammad (PBUH), was greatly appreciated during the event for his valuable work. Majid Majidi said that "we must try in recognition of the Prophet and introduce their characters in this regard, all of Muslim countries must try."

He said that some media have tried to say that the Shiites, with the film Muhammad, are trying to offer their own interpretation of Islam. He said the script of this work is factual, adding that he also takes advantage of the most important Sunni scholars.

He stressed the importance of meetings with Sunnis; recently, one of Turkey's famous scholars who saw the film, said Muhammad can light the way for the Islamic world and fill the knowledge gap of Muslim adolescents and young people.

Majidi said that he believe the Muhammad film could be the unity of the Islamic nations, adding that rumors he heard of Al-Azhar and Islamic centers, that show the face of the Prophet, are not true, adding that, "we don’t let the face of prophet show, we don't play with feelings of Muslims."

The Secretary General of the Islamic Radio and Television Union thanked all of the participants in the meeting.
