"The Islamophobia conference comes at a time of increasing inter-civilizational conflicts and increasing conflicts and wars in the world. I think that the participants of this conference presented very useful reports and recommendations, which will lead to a correct understanding of the Islamic religion and the elimination of many misconceptions about it.
In his speech, Al-Haj also touched on the role of the media in eliminating this global problem and said that the media is considered an effective body in clarifying the problem of Islamophobia:
"If the media fulfills its main mission, the attitude towards Islam will change. At the same time, the media can be the destroyer of false ideas about Islam. Therefore, I think that the media can do a lot in this matter by accepting experts in that field, preparing targeted programs, and conveying positive ideas. has an important role".
