Participants called for raising awareness about the spread of Islamophobia and said steps should be taken to confront the trend.
There was also a forum as well as a workshop about various aspects of Islamophobia.
Similar programs were held in Brussels, Amsterdam and London.
According to some analysts, Islamophobia is the biggest threat to peace in the world, especially now that terrorist groups like the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are being used to spread Islamophobia.
The ISIL terrorists currently control parts of Syria and Iraq. They have carried out heinous crimes, including mass executions and beheadings of the people, in the two countries.
These heinous crimes are being used by certain groups to fuel anti-Islam sentiments especially among Western nations.
