Islamophobia
OIC urges measures against Islamophobia
“Mere condemnation or distancing from the acts of the perpetrators of Islamophobia will not resolve the issue, as long as they remain free to carry on with their campaign of incitement and provocation on the plea of freedom of expression,” OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said, in a speech at a conference in Kuala Lumpur.
Ihsanoglu appreciated those Western governments which slammed a blasphemous and anti-Islamic film produced by a Danish lawmaker, Geert Wilders, which sparked strong protests by Muslims.
The movie, Fitna, portrays the Holy Qur’an as a book which inspires terrorism.
The OIC head also urged the media to reject “proponents of hatred totally,” citing other incidents such as the republishing in Denmark of cartoons considered an insult to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), AP said.
Pssst!
When you yahoos stop condoning the violence, or at least speak out against it once in a while, I might take you seriously. Until then……
