Tehran: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said that Muslims must improve the image of their religion, which has been tarnished by the violence of extremist groups such as the IS. “It is our greatest duty today to correct the image of Islam in world public opinion,” Rouhani told a conference on Islamic unity in Tehran. Rouhani said Islamic principles opposed violence and asserted that the extremism of groups such as the so-called Islamic State stemmed from “narrow-mindedness and lack of moderation”.
