Since the head-on assault on Vienna was repulsed in 1683, a new tactic, known as “whining” is employed at a conference, “Islam in a Pluralistic World.”
A major international conference on Islam concluded in Vienna today with strong appeals from prominent Muslim leaders to recognize international terrorism as simply “terrorism.” Political figures from Islamic countries, including the presidents of Iraq and Afghanistan, argued that it should never be labeled “Islamic” or “Muslim” terrorism because Islam is based on peace, dialogue, and tolerance.
