Erdoğan: Islamophobia crime against humanity
18 December 2009 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, ANKARA
Islamophobia is a crime against humanity just like anti-Semitism, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, while calling on the international community for recognition of this crime.
Erdoğan’s remarks came at a meeting with Syrian media held earlier this week, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported. The meeting was apparently held on the occasion of an upcoming official visit by Erdoğan to Damascus, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
“Islam means peace, and it cannot tolerate terrorism. We reject all attempts to link Islam with terrorism,” Erdoğan was quoted as saying by SANA. The agency noted that Erdoğan also called on the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the Arab League and all concerned parties to present a unified front to help end Islamophobia.
