Video- Iran hosts 5th General Assembly of the Ahlul-Bayt World Assembly

600 foreign dignitaries from 120 world countries and more than 400 Iranian personalities are attending the four-day conference.
In view of the global developments and the wave of Islamic awakening as well as movements, which are taking place in the region inspired from the Ahlul Bayt school of thought and the Islamic Revolution, the first commission of the general assembly has focused on the issue of Islamic awakening.
In an opening speech, President Ahmadinejad said the main cause of the discord among all human beings has stemmed from evil thoughts.
The United States used the nine-eleven attacks as a pretext to wage wars against Muslim lands of Afghanistan and Iraq. Over one-million people have been killed and many more injured in the two wars. Nations can live together peacefully, but corrupt rulers disrupt that when they come to power.
Participants unanimously believe that unity is the main key to the success of Muslims in all fields and described Ahlul Bayt or the household of Prophet Muhammad as the best point of commonality among Muslims.
The Ahlul Bayt world assembly is an international non-government organization, the permanent secretariat of which is located in Iran.
