“High time for the Muslim world to get united and make collective efforts to counter Islamophobia”
April 19, 2021

Ali Muhammad Khan (Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs): Being Muslims, believing in finality of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) is obligatory upon us. We should talk and engage with them to sensitize about the issue. We should make sure that more than one billion Muslims around the world are not offended by such acts. We want that issue of blasphemy is dealt in the same manner in West as holocaust is protected. 

Dr Dost Muhammad (Islamic Scholar): Prime Minister Imran Khan knows very well the Western world and that is why he has come up with a wise approach. The Prime Minister rightly said that it will not make any difference if Pakistan expels French ambassador, rather, it will matter more when whole Muslim Ummah unites and all Islamic countries convey a strong message to the West that they will boycott their products if blasphemous acts are not stopped. Prime Minister Imran Khan vociferously raised the issue of Islamophobia at the UN General Assembly session and apprised the world of the sensitivity of the issue for the Muslims. 

Dr. Masoom Yasinzai (Rector International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI):The Muslim countries need to forget their minor differences and carry out a collective campaign to sensitize the West regarding the dangers of Islamophobia. Pakistan is making efforts to unite the Muslim world and eradicate the menace of Islamophobia. Islamic International University has established a center to counter the anti-Islam narrative prevailing in the west.
