border information we ought to teach each and every citizen of the world to maintain understanding, compassion and respect of the other. We ought to highlight to the world why Islamophobia is an evil whose harm will not be confined to Muslims alone but is also detrimental to all people. Hatred of a certain group of people is in fact an open invitation to hate all those who are dissimilar to us. We have raised this issue with a number of international organizations in the West. We have reminded their leading figures that lessening religious tension is the shortest way to international security. we requested that laws in their respective countries may be enacted to ban the practices of Islamophobia and offer protection to Muslims. We have submitted the matter to the United Nations. The Geneva-based Human Rights Commission has adopted a recommendation denouncing hate campaigns, zealotry and defamation against Muslims. We have established a monitoring body to identify, document and deal with all anti-Islamic campaigns. We must pay attention to issues of communal and ethnic tension and combat terrorism by addressing its root causes wither it is perpetrated by individuals, groups or states. Terrorism is a crime which must be renounced by every Muslim. --more sss 1939 Local Time 1639 GMT
