ADDRESS OBSTACLES THAT HINDER UNITY
Our whole Islamic world looks forward today for this gathering and hopes that your distinguished conference will address the obstacles that hinder establishing its ultimate unity and promotes its separation that God had warned us from.
Undoubtedly, you are gathered today for a difficult mission, considering that it addresses many accumulations and hostilities more than the haters of the Islamic Nation who drive a fierce campaign against their religion, morals, culture and civilization.
They attribute to Islam what is not, taking advantage of the bully boyz in both direction.
However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
with your strong will and firm knowledge, you are able to achieve this International Islamic Unity, the dream of your nation throughout the globe, so that the nation would continue its historical role as a role model for the whole world.
Saudi Arabia, which was established on moderation and tolerence, which oversees the service of the two holy mosques and the guests of Rahman will continue its obligations and initiatives to achieve the hopes of Moslems.
I ask God almighty, to grant you success and fulfillment in your noble mission, and to help us all for what He loves and pleases.
