Iran urges collective Muslim push aimed at confronting Islamophobia
Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has urged a united endeavor on the part of the entire Muslim world towards confronting Islamophobia.
The top diplomat made the remarks in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday on the occasion of the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.
He defined “confronting Islamophobia” as “the Muslim nation’s collective endeavor aimed at [creating] effective deterrence in the face of seditious movements that are against sustainable peace and security.”
Islamic teachings, the foreign minister noted, had invariably been subject to conspiratorial policies adopted by the global imperialist system.
“The imperialist system has deployed all in its sinister power to present a tarnished and manipulated image of Islam and represent Islam and Muslims as a threat in the eyes of the public opinion of other global communities,” the post read.
This is while, the divine religion has consistently encouraged and promoted peace, amity, kindness, and peaceful coexistence, it concluded.
The United Nations declared March 15 as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia through a resolution back in 2022.
In doing so, the world body urged nations across the international community to adopt clear stances and measures aimed at confronting hatred, discrimination, and violence against Muslims around the globe.
