: Malaysia and Turkiye have expressed deep concern about the increasing hatred and acts of violence against Muslims and their sanctities, that have reached an alarming level in many parts of the world, especially Europe.
Both leaders condemned in the strongest terms the recent incidents of the burning of copies of the Holy Quran in several European countries based on the argument of freedom of expression as well as a discourse that incites abuse, hate speech and aggression against Islam and Muslims. “We also welcome the urgent debate at the 53rd Session of the UN Human Rights Council to discuss the alarming rise in premeditated and public acts of religious hatred as manifested by the recurrent desecration of the Holy Quran, and the adoption of HRC resolutions defining the burning of holy books as religious hatred,” the statement read.
Anwar said Turkiye will implement the strategies at activity locations in Europe and the Middle East and Malaysia will do so in Asia. “A series of conferences were organised before this and they will continue . Further discussions on efforts against Islamophobia will continue to be pursued during Erdogan’s visit to Malaysia in December,” he said.
