President Ali Abdullah Saleh attended on Saturday the final ceremony of summer centers for teaching Islamic duties and memorizing the Holly Koran organized by Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs.
In the ceremony, President Saleh delivered a speech in which he congratulated young students who participated in the centers on the occasion of incoming the holly month of Ramadan and praised success the centers achieved.
"This is a positive and active tendency for attracting youth and students for reading and memorizing the holly Koran for gaining benefit instead of spending their vacation time with fun and playing," said the president.
"Islam is the religion of the whole Islamic nation. It is a religion for all of us not for group or sect," added the president, highlighting efforts of those who contributed in organizing these centers and brought them into success.
For his part, Minister of Endowment and Religious Affairs Hamoud al-Hitar had delivered a speech in which he welcomed president for attending this ceremony, indicating that his ministry has organized this year 2192 centers for teaching 158159 male and female youth their religious affairs and memorizing holly Koran across the country.
"The ministry aims through these centers at teaching Islamic duties, rooting moderation, deepening belief concepts and morals," said al-Hitar, adding that the ministry has organized many qualification courses to preachers and guiders this year.

President: Islam the religion of all
In 2007 the opposition Yemen Congregation for Reform (Islah) Islamic oriented Party maintained its having political and media sway over the Joint meeting Parties (JMP) block, also consisting of Yemen Socialist Party and the Nasserite Unionist Organisation. 
Yemen is practically a cool green paradise, with crisp mountain air, enormous acacia trees, pristine coral reefs and verdant fields bursting with khat, a psychoactive plant that induces mild euphoria. 
Sana'a: Yemen will not be able to combat terror without regional and international cooperation, said a Yemeni official, who warned of the ramifications of letting Yemen fight terrorism alone.
Many journalists covered the funeral of the murdered Minister, Pierre Gemayel, the latest victim in a string of political assassinations in Lebanon.
Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
