The largest platform
representing Muslim countries has agreed to launch an aggressive media
campaign with the purpose of raising awareness of anti-Muslim hate
movements in the world, while keeping tabs on the problems that are
being faced by Muslim citizens in Western and Asian countries.
In the final communiqué, adopted at
the 9th session of the Islamic Conference of Information Ministers in
Libreville, Gabon, the representatives from 57 member states of the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which is the largest
intergovernmental organization after the UN, has empowered the Turkish
secretary-general of the organization with a new tool to go after
Islamophobic movements in the world.The meeting saw strong messages voiced by member countries at the OIC meeting in Gabon. As representative of the hosting country and chairman of the conference, Blaise Louembe, the Gabonese minister of digital economy, communications and post, told the audience that there is a need to support the initiative of dialogue, solidarity and consultation among the OIC member countries, stressing that addressing Islamophobia through diplomatic dynamism is important. He proposed the launch of an awareness-raising campaign to eliminate violence advocated by some extremist movements. Louembe said Gabon is ready to lead the charge on these projects.
Morocco's Minister of Communication Mustapha Khalfi warned that Islamophobia is rising and campaigns targeting the image of Islam and Muslims in international media are increasing. He underlined that media institutions in the Muslim world have more responsibility to confront these smear campaigns against Islam. Khalfi also noted that OIC should be a conduit in coordinating media action among Muslim countries as well as within the UN. Read the rest on:
