His Majesty King Abdullah on Sunday affirmed the importance of spreading the values of coexistence, tolerance and understanding between nations in order to foil terrorists' attempts to plant divisions in Muslim communities and with followers of other religions.



During a meeting with a delegation from the European Jewish Congress (EJC), which is currently on a visit to Jordan, King Abdullah reviewed the Kingdom's efforts to clarify the true image of Islam that extremists keep trying to distort.



The King referred to the Amman Message and the recommendations made by the International Islamic Conference in Amman, which were also adopted by the extraordinary meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Conference held in Mecca recently.



King Abdullah noted that the majority of Muslims condemn terrorism, which has claimed the lives of thousands of innocents, noting that most of its victims were Muslims.



The King emphasised that stability and security in the region would never be realised unless a just peace that guarantees the rights of all prevails in the Middle East.



EJC President Pierre Besnainou commended the King's efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region and enhance the values of understanding and cooperation between nations.



The King's Special Adviser HRH Prince Ghazi attended the meeting.
