Tackling the rising tide of Islamophobia in the West is one of the four main points to be taken up for discussion at the Seventh Session of the Islamic Conference of Information Ministers that begins in Jeddah on Wednesday. The conference will be preceded by a two-day preparatory meeting of senior information officials from the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) member states. It begins at the Jeddah Conference Palace today.Addressing a joint press conference at Jeddah Crowne Plaza last night, Culture and Information Minister Iyad Madani and OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said: "The conference aims to come up with a joint action to face up to the challenges of our time, especially with the rise of hate crimes and Islamophobia in the West and the confusion resulting from the unfortunate mixing up of Islam with terrorism."
| You want to quickly eliminate "Islamophobia"? Actively hunt down and ruthlessly kill every terrorist you get wind of. No explanations accepted, no dissimulation, just a bullet to the back of the head. Or maybe cut their heads off, we don't care. When Islam as an international force is something terrorists are afraid of, then we can talk. |
