Chairman of the International Forum for Proximity of Islamic Denominations Ayatollah Taskhiri said that all the world nations have been inspired by the popular uprisings and revolutions which have swept the Muslim lands.
Bfnews: Ayatollah Taskhiri made the remarks while addressing the opening ceremony of the ۲۵th International Islamic Unity Conference.
He said the wave of the Islamic Awakening has become an epidemic around the world in order to topple the bullying powers.
Ayatollah Taskhiri expressed hope that the world would witness the Islamic sovereignty from East Asia to West Africa and wherever the Muslim nations live.
The 25th International Islamic Unity Conference opened in Tehran in the presence of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The conference, with the objectives of preparing the ground for consolidation of unity and solidarity among the Islamic nations and finding solutions to the problems facing the world of Islam, will end on February 10.
Since the start of 2011, the region and certain world countries, like the US and European states, have witnessed a growing wave of popular protests resulted from the people's growing awareness and vigilance.
Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Libya have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.
While Libya celebrated the victory of its revolution after the death of the country's dictator, Muammar Qaddafi, in October, uprisings continue in several other Muslim states.
