President al-Assad: "Syrian Society Will not Accept Wahabi and Takfiri Mentality"



Jan 18, 2014
Damascus, (SANA) –
President Bashar al-Assad said that the Syrian society, that has been known for its amity and tolerance
 for centuries, will never accept the wahabi and takfiri mentality, adding that this dangerous mentality does not only threaten 
Syria but also all of the region’s countries.
The remarks came during President al-Assad’s meeting with a delegation of the Anglican Church comprising clergymen
 from 
USA, Sweden, Switzerland, Lebanon and Syria, headed by Amgad Beblawi, Mission Coordinator for the Middle East
 at
 Presbyterian Church in the USA.
President al-Assad said that one of the main problems regarding the western, and particularly the US, approach in dealing
 with 
the region’s issues is that most of their leaders are far from comprehending the reality and nature of the region and the 
interests
 of its peoples.
President al-Assad stressed that the majority of the western leaders are working to achieve their narrow interests which
 are far 
from the interests of their peoples and countries.
For their part, members of the delegation expressed their solidarity with Syria and rejection of any foreign intervention
 in the
 Syrian affairs, hoping that peace and security will prevail again in this country, which represents a model for cultural and 
religious variety.
