In order to curb the menace of terrorism, Tehrik-e-Akhuwat-e-Islami (TAI) has decided to establish Interfaith Education Centre (IEC).
This was announced by the TAI Chairman Allama Inayat Ali Shakir while talking to journalists here at his residence on Sunday. Ulema belonging to different schools of thought were present on the occasion.
Giving details of the IEC project, Allama Inayat Ali Shakir said the centre would work to promote interfaith harmony and to eliminate terrorism, extremism and sectarianism. He said ulema and students of different religions would be invited to share their views while visiting the IEC.
He said basic aim to set up IEC is to eliminate terrorism by promoting interfaith harmony. He said the IEC would provide a platform to leaders of all sects to arrange dialogue and have a constant coordination with each other. He said the services of Islamic, Christian leaders would be hired for IEC.
According to programmes, he said three months basic training courses free of cost would be arranged, where the preachers of different religions would deliver lectures to visiting students to highlight the importance of interfaith harmony and peace.

Open dialogue would be arranged for a day in a week and everyone could participate in the open dialogue. After dialogue, there would be question-answer hour and every participant would be free to ask questions from the preachers, he added.
