(SALEM, Ore.) - A number of thinkers in India discussed the dimensions of the fight against terrorism at a recent meeting in New Delhi. Dozens of political and cultural elite attended the meeting that was held under the title, “the roots of global terrorism”.

A number of attendees contributed their thoughts, Abe Minou referred to the destructive role of Saudi Arabia in the expansion of terrorist acts and spreading Wahhabism in favor of the Israeli agenda.

He said that “conflicts in the region are not founded on their own, but there is always a strong political force seeking to inflame the situation as the conflict between Sunnis and Shiites, between Hindus the Muslims and the execution of Sheikh Nimr, are examples for these dark political decisions."

It has been suggested that Sheikh Nimr was executed under the direct orders of Israel, as Tel Aviv is seeking to weaken the Asian countries, especially Middle Eastern countries.

On the other hand, Ahmed Akhlaq, explained the secret relations behind terrorism, saying “to identify the root causes of terrorism, we have to look for the forces who benefit of terrorism meaning the arms dealers and countries that rely on the energy sector in the Middle East.”

Maulana Kalb emphasized that “India can prevent the spread of Wahhabism in the country through educating citizens,” referring to the role of culture and education in the development of societies.

In the same context, Hamid Malik ruled out the existence of a Sunni-Shiite conflict in Kashmir, stressing the importance of changing the political system to avoid the community's draw to terrorism, adding that the ISIS terrorist group is not an Islamic-rooted organization.

Maulana Mohsin Naqvi criticized US double standards in dealing with terrorism, saying, “there is no fixed definition of terrorism from the standpoint of the Americans.

America suddenly considered Taliban as a terrorist group and tried to eliminate the movement while the United States did not show any reaction to the movement's crimes for many years”.

Ahmad Kazemi attributed the success of the war against terrorism on political awareness and described the Iranian revolution as a result of political awakening.

Kazemi said, "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia supports terrorist groups like Boko Haram, al-Qaida, Taliban and ISIS while (the) US and Israel provide arms to these organizations."
