Awqaf minister attends int’l scientific conference closing ceremony

AMMAN — Awqaf Minister Wael Arabiat on Sunday attended the closing ceremony of the 37th international scientific conference to outline the content of the Amman Message, which saw the participation of 30 Islamic researchers and preachers from 15 countries.

Arabiat said that the Amman Message has become a tool to explain Islamic values which urge moderation and acceptance of others to combat extremist ideologies, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

He noted that the message was launched in 2004 due to the nation’s need to defend Islam and correct global misconceptions.
