Iranian President Rouhani Explains Why Terrorists Always Invoke Islam

ROSE: "Why the so many terrorists seem to invoke the name of Islam in their recruitment?"

ROUHANI: "Evil or the wrong always uses the name of the righteous and the label of the righteous in order to reach their objectives. No one will ever say, 'I'm an oppressor. I'm evil. Be on my side. Be with me.' If they wish to be able to attract, recruit, they will come up with slogans that are desirable. In our religion, Islam, the faith is quite attractive for the youth of our region. Our youth is in love with Islamic culture and the Islamic teachings, and some have managed to take advantage of this love."
