RIYADH: Muslim World League Secretary-General Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa recently delivered a lecture at George Washington University in Washington, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

It was followed by a discussion on “the general concept of hatred” and “a comprehensive definition of hostility toward followers of religions and ethnicities that undermines their dignity, humanity, and rights.”

The MWL chief was hosted by George Washington University President Ellen M. Granberg in the presence of academics, students, and representatives of research centers.

In his address, Al-Issa emphasized that human dignity is a foundational principle of Islamic values and any violation is strictly prohibited by Islamic Shariah.

He underscored Islam’s stance toward people of all faiths and races, highlighting its unwavering rejection of contemptuous and racist practices, reflecting enduring Islamic values.
