The opening of the conference was the talk of minister of culture and youth affairs of UAE.

Ayatollah Madanion his speech referred to the recent developments and innovations in field of technology and science and added that: “but these developments and progress has never brought the peach and luck for human being but the number of killed people in various fights and wars in recent century was more than the killed bodies within previous centuries. Today, man found that the peace and luck cannot be obtained by only the science and technology so starving to the faith that can reach to peace and luck and this is the responsibility of the religion to fulfill this need and to have the proper answer, the religion talk is a must.
He added: Islam invites us to this talk and says:” Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah..." (Aal-Imran-64)
And invites us to talk and says:” Invite (mankind, O Muhammad SAW) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur’an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better…” (Al Nahl-125)
And as a main motto says: “peace is grace”
He added: So let’s follow the motto “Religion Talk” to step to a better world, the world free of Coercion and violence, the world out of Injustice and Violation, the world free of Moral corruption and full of faith, Emotion, Ethics and brotherhood.
Then he referred to some problems on the way of “Religion Talk” and told: “one of the problems in this route is misunderstanding the truth of the religions. Those who have no vision of the religious knowledge, are thinking that each religion pulls man to its route and has different customs.
So unity and coordination of the religions is impossible! But the one who has the knowledge of the truth of the religions knows that all the divine religions have the same root and inviting the man to common values. So the “Religion Talk” not only is not impossible but also it is easy and accessible. The Nobel prophet (P.B.U.H) says” all the previous prophets and me are like the constructors of a building and only remaining a brick to finish it and I’m the finisher of this building.” So all the religions are under unique ceiling which has built by divine prophets in common.
He added that: “the other problem in this way is the Arrogances and Chauvinistic which makes fight and violence. Islam has banned us against them and all the followers of the religions should attaint Arrogances and Chauvinistic and open the peace and friendship way.
On continuation of the conference, pillars from India, Italy and Australia and the Fatwa holder of Dubai and other cultural and political faces had their speech.
