PM Seeks Unification of Muslim Countries Against Islamophobia

WEB DESK. Billions of Muslims around the world will celebrate Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi on October 30, at a time when Islamophobic activities are on the rise in France. The unification of Muslim countries against the blasphemy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has not come in sight but only the individual efforts.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has recently written a letter to heads of all Muslim states around the world, asking them to show unity and act collaboratively to cope with the anti-Muslims narrative in the western world.

The premier noted that the Muslims around the world were hurt by the actions committed in France and noted that the radical government was forcing the closure of mosques and preventing women from wearing the dress of their choice.

Imran Khan contended that the Western world was ignorant of the sanctity and reverence the Prophet (PBUH) holds in the hearts of the Muslims and therefore such Islamophobic acts were being committed blatantly. He urged the Muslim leaders around the globe to unite against extremism and jointly convey a strong message to the enemies of Islam.

Imran Khan said that the Muslims had witnessed bloodshed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) but seeing their prophet (PBUH) being disrespected was far more hurting.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatullah Khamenei questioned why it was a crime to raise questions on Holocaust but using derogatory language against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was allowed.

He also criticized the practice of ‘freedom of expression’ which hurts sentiments of people of the Muslim faith. A major reaction has come from the heads of almost all Muslim states including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Turkey.

The next question to ask is: why is it a crime to raise doubts about the Holocaust? Why should anyone who writes about such doubts be imprisoned while insulting the Prophet (pbuh) is allowed?

However, the leaders have not yet gathered at a platform to convey a strong message to the Western world.
