The OIC has therefore wisely decided to call together a conference on Islamophobia taking place in Dubai, condemning those who would question Islam's commitment to inter-religious harmony:
Abu Dhabi: The UAE urged member countries of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) to take action to stop the spread of Islamophobia in the West, a parliamentary leader said yesterday.
Abdul Aziz Abdullah Al Ghurair, Speaker of the Federal National Council, said concerted efforts were necessary to stop Islamophobia, that impaired Muslim-West relations.
"Recent Western calls to protect Christians in the East is a natural outcome of Islamophobia triggered by misunderstanding and mistrust of the tolerance of Islam and its respect of religious freedom and human dignity," Al Ghurair said.
...
The alliance, established in 2005, at the initiative of Spain and Turkey, works in partnership with states, international and regional organisations, civil society groups, foundations, and the private sector to mobilise efforts that promote cross-cultural relations among diverse nations and communities.
But, whatever you do, do not request Muslims to tolerate others. It's everyone else who is intolerant.
