Echorouk Forum: America produced Al-Qaeda and it is behind terrorism in the world, says Isfahan’s governor

Governor of Iranian province Isfahan Ali Reda Daker believes that Washington is involved in all the terrorist attacks in the world and it is behind Al-Qaeda. “Iran tries to market its lifestyle using soft power amid America’s fierce campaign which tries to impose its lifestyle on the rest of the humanity,” he told Echorouk Forum.

•  
• American projects are meant to raise conflict among Shia and Sunni Muslims
•   
• Isfahan’s governor alleged that the US, England and Israel were behind bombings in the southeastern city of Zahedan killing 28 people.
•  
• “They made scenarios in all over the world to give a negative image about Islam and show Muslims as terrorists against all the human rights,” he said.
•  
• He also said the US made a new program to the Middle East aiming at striking the Muslim World’s unity by raising conflict among Islamic doctrines.
•  
• “A special philosophy originated from US programs is behind Zahedan attacks and it is the one which set up Al-Qaeda,” he added.
•  
• “Our culture is the soft power we will face America’s hard power with”
•  
• Echorouk’s guest said collaboration between Isfahan and
• Algeria’s western town of Tlemcen comes as part of Tehran’s efforts to focus on enhancing cultural relationship between the two cities.
•  
• “Close cultural identity between Algeria and Iran needs to use this soft power to market the Muslim cultural identity in a world exploited and culturally dominated by America.”
•  
• Ali Reda alleged that the US tries to impose its lifestyle after the decline of the socialist camp and the Soviet Union.
•  
• “In Iran, we try to market our lifestyle using soft power amid America’s fierce campaign which tries to impose its lifestyle using power. This is a clod war between ideas away from weapons and armies.”
•  
• He added that Iran tries to have hand in the world making and the making of its existence using its soft power.
•  
• Iranian cinema refuses to do business with Muslim woman’s body
•   
• Isfahan’s governor said Iran refused to use woman’s body in cinema to market those “vulgar” works. “Iranian cinema tries to preserve Muslim woman’s image respected in all the sectors.”
•  
• He added that cinema can succeed through many standards and not by sex.
•  
• Ali Reda believes that the point is to respect Muslim woman and preserve her identity and dignity. “In Iran, women are allowed to be shown in movies but it is forbidden that they are shown in a vulgar way.”
•  
• Arabs are strongly present in Iran
•  
• Isfahan’s governor denied allegations that communication between Arabs and Iran does not exist. “Arabs are strongly present in all the Iranian cities especially in Isfahan.”
•  
• Iran’s spiritual capital Qom is the most hosting city of Arabs. “It is like Italy’s Vatican. A large number of students of various Arab nationalities come to this city for studies and learning religion.”
•  
• “The rest of the Iranian cities annually receive many Arab tourists who want to discover the Islamic Republic,” he said.
