The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has strongly condemned Israeli 10th-TV-channel for broadcasting a defamatory program of Prophet Isa (Jesus Christ) and his Mother Maryam (Mary) (peace be upon them). In a statement issued here today, the Secretary General reaffirmed the consistent position of the Organization of Islamic Conference against disrespect and defamation of the Prophets of the Divine faiths and the insult of religious symbols. The Secretary-General expressed the OIC's solidarity with Christians, including those in Palestine, denouncing the Israeli TV station's defamation of Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) and urged all peoples to take a common position that would counter defamation of religions and beliefs and insulting symbols that are sacred to different religious faiths.
