At the conclusion of the symposium on championing the Holy Koran and defending Al-Aqsa, Dr Ibrahim Zayd al-Kilani announced the formation of an association for Muslim scholars in Jordan. The establishment of this association came in response to the demands by numerous religious scholars. They proposed the establishment of such an association to unite religious scholars in Jordan, to confront the Western onslaught targeting the morals and values of the Jordanian people, and to raise the awareness of the Jordanian people and safeguard their religious values.
The symposium championing the Holy Koran and defending Al-Aqsa was held last Saturday at the headquarters of the Islamic Action Front [IAF] party in Tila al-Ali. It was attended by a large number of religious scholars and lasted for about five hours during which the participants debated two working papers. The first working paper was on championing the Holy Koran and the second was entitled "The Falsehood of the Temple [Mount], one of the most serious perils threatening Al-Aqsa".
Clearly "scholar" here means "cleric" rather than "historian."
