The appalling scene the Muslims are currently witnessing is the ties that some regional states have made with the enemies of Islam, and now they are flagrantly revealing them, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday.

'It was so repugnant and obscene that no official of the Muslim countries could tell people openly that 'Israel is our friend, Resistance is our enemy',' President Rouhani said in a speech at the opening ceremony of the 31st International Islamic Unity Conference that started in Tehran this morning.

'Unfortunately, they are trying to turn the big flagrance to a virtue,' he said, adding that people of the region and the Muslims of the world will not allow them to implement their 'heinous plan'.

'The big nation of Palestine, Muslim people, Ulema, elites, educated and the youth in the region will not forget the Zionism predicament, its hostility and occupation of the Palestinian territories.'

'One of their aspirations has been the liberation of Al Quds Al Sharif, and it will continue to be so,' he said.

Some plots by the Arrogance and Zionism in the region are less given attention , like the fact that the big powers, the US and Zionism created the terrorist groups and waged the war, according to the Iranian President.

'Everybody knows who has created Al Qaida, and terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan and deployed them across the region; everybody knows who financed and armed the terrorists and gave them intelligence and technical support' he said.

'Although they themselves have been inflicted by the sinister consequences of terrorism, we all know that they have committed such big crimes in the region with resort to terrorism,' President Rouhani said.

The 31st International Islamic Unity Conference which is being held with the attendance of 500 foreign and domestic participants continues until Dec 7. The Unity Requirements of Modern Islamic Civilization is the main theme of the conference.
