They don’t mean stopping Islamic jihad terrorists from invoking Islam to justify violence and oppression. That isn’t even on the table. They were discussing ways to ensure that non-Muslims don’t take any public note of the jihadist tendency to link their actions to Islamic texts and teachings.
“Mufti Hassoun, Shahriari discuss means of confronting attempts to distort the image of Islam,” SANA, January 3, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Tehran, SANA-Grand Mufti of Syria, Ahmed Badr al-Din Hassoun, discussed with Hamid Shahriari, Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools, means of confronting attempts to distort the image of Islam…
Mufti Hassoun stressed the need for working to spread the culture of tolerance, reinforce the spirit of amity, and keeping away from extremism, stressing that Syria has been working with this approach and intellectual development for many years.
For his part, Shahriari referred to the importance of cooperation to confront terrorism and takfiri thoughts, and to promote human mentality.

What distortion? Islam is the religion of taqiyya-sacred lying, of child forced marriage, of sex slavery, of misogyny, of second-class Dhimmitude, of decapitation, plunder, world conquest and religious warfare against the dirty ‘kafirs’. Islam certainly is not a religion of peace.
Once people see that, they realize that Islam is totally incompatible with modernity and they see Islam is repugnant to all our values.
That’s not a ‘distorted image’ … it’s reality.
tim gallagher says
Well said, mortimer. How disgusting it is that such a primitive, backward ideology, which sanctions all the evil practices you mention, should still be hanging around and poisoning humanity in the 21st century. The Muslim scum in this report are only trying to find ways to keep people asleep and unaware about how evil and barbaric their stinking ideology really is.
Chrissie01 says
Islam does not provide an ethical code to its followers than grabbing and taking and stealing from others in the name of their god. It is the religion of endless adulations and constant flattery to Allah, not providing any benefactory spiritual insights one might expect from a faith. Allah, whoever that foul and evil deity may be, wants to see humans slain and killed, a wrathful punisher, full of cruelty and atrocities ….but the suras inevitably end in praising him as merciful..
That alone should be enough to make a sane person’s mind twist and creak
mortimer says
Agree with Chrissie: Islam has the values of a criminal gang. Nice to gang members, but heartless to outsiders.
b.a. freeman says
true enough, mortimer, but the gangstas also use their “morality” on one another when convenient. that’s where “honor’ killings originate: if a gang-banger doesn’t kill his offending family member, his peers will see him as weak and go after him like a wolf after a sick deer … and they’ll use lies like accusations of blasphemy to justify killing *him*. the “honor” being protected is actually the a** of the gang-banger himself. there’s no interest like self-interest in a gangsta culture!

100% agree Mortimer. More persons ought to learn about the truth of Islam and a good, quick way to learn is to watch Lloyd De Jongh’s YouTube account. He is different than most as he deep dives into the ‘law’ by examining the sharia thru Reliance of the Traveller and Hedaya manuals. He states, accurately, that most of the Koran is abrogated so to actually know what’s left of Allah’s words (basically only Jihad & commanding the right forbidding the wrong) you must study or peruse the sharia. He has a couple recent videos on the Crusades where he takes you thru the Islamic exegesis. Very powerful, interesting, well-researched works.
john smith says
Thanks for that info Karen I have never heard of Lloyd de Jongh, but I will be checking him out.
Karen says
Here is Lloyds channel link – https://youtu.be/bGTGeCt8aGs
He discusses the Crusades, the sharia and reason for Islam’s spread. Also he discusses that Islam is not a religion but a ‘deen’ – this is very important to understand! The time stamp is 11:36 if that’s all you’d like to learn.

“discussed . . . means of confronting attempts to distort the image of Islam”
“Hey, Abdul, I got one. We should encourage our jihadhis to wear Armani suits when they kill the kafirs. Maybe they could bring along an apron. Then, after the slaughtering is over, take off the apron, and they’ll look like a million bucks. That’ll impress the Westerners.”
Keith O says
The only distortion of Islam is that of being portrayed as a religion of peace.
If the truth about this corrupt, evil belief system, (can’t call it a religion) ever reaches the people via mainstream media, I’ll be shocked.
Anyone who speaks the truth is shat on by the left and their Islamist masters, so any misdirection about there being a distortion of Islam is simply one cog in the wheel for their plans of world domination.
Infidel says
Given who they are, they should claim that the bulk of the atrocities are done by sunnis (which they are, due to pure statistical reasons) more than shi’a. While Iran is nothing to write home about, Syria has a better record than almost all Arab countries in protecting Christians

Grand Mufti of Syria and Iranian Islamic scholar discuss ways of ‘confronting attempts to distort image of Islam’
……………..
This mostly means coercing Infidels to censor any truth about Islam–inc;uding Muslims murdering anyone who dares say that Islam is violent.
Giacomo Latta says
”Mufti Hassoun stressed the need for working to spread the culture of tolerance, reinforce the spirit of amity”
Hmm, that sounds more like the objectives of a real religion, not Islam. I would literally watch my neck if I were you, Hassoun.
gravenimage says
I think this is more Taqiyya than anything else, Giacomo.
gregbeetham says
The only distortion that has happened was that the cult of Satan was labelled the religion of peace, but I’m struggling to calibrate the monumental amount of distortion involved.
OLD GUY says
Grand Mufti and islamic scholar meet. Should read two crime bosses meet to discuss how to mislead the public to think they are legit business men, instead of the true image of their running sex slaves, murder for hire and taking control of countries.
