RIYADH: The Jeddah-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation marked on Sunday International Day for Combating Islamophobia.
The day of remembrance was introduced in 2019 to commemorate the victims of the Christchurch attacks in New Zealand.
On that day, 51 worshippers were killed and 89 injured when a terrorist opened fire at two of the city’s mosques during Friday prayers.
The organization published a statement Sunday from Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha with a call to action.
In it, Taha said: “Islamophobia is not only a Muslim concern. It undermines human dignity, pluralism and the freedom of religion or belief for all.
