Jakarta (Antara Bali) - More than two thousand intellectuals from various countries are attending a two-day international Islamic conference organized by Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia in Jakarta, a Hizbut Tahrir spokesman said on Sunday.
The conference will explore a theme related to the end of capitalism and the prospect of Islamic civilization under the Khilafah.
"Some international scholars, who are attending the event, belong to Algeria, Malaysia, Lebanon, the United States, Britain, Japan, Australia, and Indonesia," Ismail Yusanto stated.
He pointed out that the conference was officially entitled the "Jakarta International Conference of Muslim Intellectuals" and the committee had received 140 scientific papers, which had been grouped under seven main topics.
The papers mainly focus on global political change and its impact on Muslim countries, good governance challenges, economic challenges, health and food security, energy and natural resources management, women and families, as well as education and science and technology.
"On the first day of discussions, we agreed that the dominant issues in these fields were not merely a technical matter, but related to each other and rooted in the separation of religion from society, political and economic life," Ismail noted. (INE/M038)
