“Islamophobia has gone beyond individual display and become a tragedy. This is huge danger,” said Dr. Mohamed Bechari, Secretary-General of the World Muslim Communities council at the international scientific conference on the “Embracing Diversity: Tackling Islamophobia in 2024” held in Baku, Ednews reports from APA.
“Especially in Western countries, the cases of discrimination against Muslims are evident. The West is conducting such a wrong policy against persons who are not identical with them in terms of religion and race. We consider that the cases of discrimination against other religions should be considered as a crime and in this sense, an international law should be prepared.”
Secretary-General noted that the idea of Islamophobia is gaining mass support:

In the end, Mohamed Bechari expressed gratitude to the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev for holding the event in Baku.
