Allah has 99 names, none stands for violence : Modi

New Delhi, Mar 18 (IBNS) Denouncing terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said Allah has 99 names and none of them stands for violence.

Without naming Pakistan at the World Sufi Forum on Thursday, he said, "When spirit and love of Sufism and not violent force of terrorism flows across the border, this region will be the paradise on earth that Amir Khusro spoke about."

"When terrorism and extremism have become the most destruction of our times, the message of Sufism has global relevance," he said at the inauguration of the four-day meet.

. "Last year alone, over 90 countries experienced terrorist attacks... Parents in 100 countries live with daily pain of their children lost to the battlefield of Syria," Modi said. 

But the impact of terrorism, he said, cannot be fully captured in statistics alone. "It is changing the way we live. There are forces and groups that are instruments of state policy and design."
