Extremism Has Fueled Islamophobia: OIC Chief
Addressing the 10th Conference of Information Ministers of Islamic Countries here in Tehran, Iyad Ameen Madani underlined the need for strengthening media discourse for combating extremism.
“We ought to stand up against the abhorrent discourse of extremism within (the Islamic world) and against Islamophobia outside (of it),” he underscored.
Madani also said there is need for an ethical charter to lead Muslim world media toward raising awareness and enhancing justice, freedom, and development.
“This charter should also put it on top of its priorities to support Palestine and confront the racist policies of Israel,” he added.
The 10th Conference of Information Ministers of Islamic Countries opened in Tehran on Wednesday morning.
It is aimed at highlighting the latest developments and achievements of the Muslim world in the field of information science and media.
“Media Convergence for Establishing Peace and Calm in Muslim World” is the motto of the international conference.
