ISLAM: OIC ASKS EUROPE TO OPPOSE ANTI ISLAMIZATION CONGRESS
(ANSAmed) - DUBAI, AUGUST 11 - "The Organization of the
Islamic Conference (OIC) hopes that all segments of the society
in Germany and in Europe will come out strongly against the
holding of such a conference," thus OIC which represents 57
Islamic states answered the imminent Anti Islamization Congress,
to be held in Cologne on September 19-21, urging from the pages
of its website to "reject the proponents of hatred and
racism."
A spokesman of the OIC Islamophobia Observatory based in
Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia, expressed "serious concern" that the
event was intended "to arouse anti-Muslim sentiments in
Europe" and that it "would pose a threat to inter communal
peace and harmony in the society."
Some 1,000 participants are expected to take part in the
conference, promoted by an extremist group named "pro Koln"
(Civil Movement of Cologne), representing movements and European
extreme right-wing political powers. (ANSAmed).
