The report underscored that the right to freedom of expression should be carried out with responsibilities and cannot be a licence to cause hurt, insults, provoke and incite hatred among religions by defaming, denigrating and insulting the sacred religious symbols of Islam and causing unrest and violence in societies.
The first OIC Observatory Report on Islamophobia focussed on OIC’s concerns over the harsh situation that Muslims are facing while living in the western societies, as well as vilification of Islam in that part of the world.
It outlined a slew of short-and long-term measures to counter Islamophobia, including the need to urge the western world to consider strengthening legislation that prohibits discrimination and hate crime motivated by religious or racial bias.
“Western tern societies should consider enhancing efforts to prosecute and take legal action against discriminatory and violent acts, encouraging Muslims to report such crimes to police and preventing discrimination against Muslim women on the grounds of dress,” said the report submitted for consideration at the two-day 11th OIC Summit in Dakar beginning Thursday.
The document noted that western societies, including governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the civil society, had started to take serious note of OIC concerns over the dangers of defamation of Islam and willingness to engage in dialogue.
“However, their positive response still falls short of the actions and political will to address the issue in definitive terms. The Islamophobes remain free to carry on their assaults due to absence of legal measures necessary for misusing or abusing the right to freedom of expression,” the report said.
The Muslim world is particularly concerned because when the overwhelming majority of Muslims strictly adhere to the principles and teaching of peace and tolerance are against any form of terrorism or extremism in Islam, these vested groups of Islamaphobes are giving a negative portrayal that Islam and Muslims are supportive of terrorism and extremism.
“They also ignore the fact that many Muslim countries are themselves victims of terror and active partners of the international community in combating terror and extremism,” said the Observatory Report 2007, which is a collation of incidents and developments that vindicate the Muslim community’s concerns over the rising trend of Islamophobia.
The observatory had based its conclusions on statements by, among others, Muslim and anti-racist groups, materials published by international human rights organisations and monitoring bodies, research findings as well as media reports.
The common misconception in the Western nations that Muslim countries have not spoken out against terrorism needs to be corrected without any delay as the OIC and its member states had minced no words in condemning terrorism, it said.
The observatory noted that the programmes of different OIC member states could be part of the strategy to correctly project Islam as a religion of moderation, peace and tolerance.
It said that OIC members may continue their joint efforts towards the adoption of an international Convention for promotion, understanding, tolerance and respect between different cultures and religions.
The observatory favoured encouraging the civil society and NGOs to organise conferences and get involved in bilateral interactions for recognition of Islamophobia as an issue that is dangerous to global peace and security, and to motivate the general public, including those at the grass roots against Islamophobia.
“The need to build an effective network of relevant actors that could exert efforts in countering Islamophobia is a pressing one,” it said.
The report said media and internet service providers should be encouraged to develop clear codes of conduct and training programmes for journalists and other media professionals to promote diversity and combat Islamophobia.
It said efforts must be made to disseminate well written researched articles and papers on Islam and arrange to have them published in reputed newspapers of the West.
The media should also be encouraged to promote further dialogue between the Islamic world and the West and to highlight best practices in promoting tolerance and dialogue among civilizations.

RatingNo Christians were there during the first three centuries. King Constantine created fake existence of the tribe of Christians.Jesus and Gospels through his writer Eusebius. Jesus was a true copy of the Son of God Osiris-Dionysus. In 325 CE Constantine called the Council of Nicaea to pass the Gospels and Jesus story. Arius voiced and voted against the new religion telling that Jesus was a character who did not exist before and is a fiction as are his gospels. To hide evidence Constantine had burned all the documents. Emperor Julian who came to power few decades later denounced the christian religion and Jesus as fake and evidence is available at The British Museum, London, The Imperial Library, Paris. Arabs were privy to the fake Jesus and how he was created by Constantine. Thus Islam was created on the same lines as Christianity by faking the Koran (Koran even says Mohd went to heaven in Jarusalem mosque, but when Mohd died there was no mosque. The mosque was constructed fifty years after Mohd’s death) and putting the mantle of Prophet on an oprphan who supposed to have lived some 150 years earlier and whose parents have died and who could not be traced at all.
Kaaba had 360 idols and constructed by Vikramaditya.. Allah is the goddess Durga of Hindus. Hindu Vedic letter "OM" was seen in reverse, and translated it as 786. Crescent moon on the forehead of the Siva symbol in Kaaba was added on the flag of Islam. Muslims go around Siva Lingam at Kaaba, seven times as Hindus. Kaaba is clothed in a black shroud to camouflage it. Muslims should lift those curtains and read the Sanskrit inscriptions on the wall. Kaaba has sanskrit incriptions of. king Vikramaditya on a gold dish hung inside the Kaaba. On page 315 of a volume known as ‘Sayar-ul-Okul’ treasured in the Makhtab-e-Sultania library in Istanbul, Turkey have the details. Arabic wording is reproduced below in Roman script:"Itrashaphai Santu Ibikramatul Phahalameen Karimun Yartapheeha Wayosassaru Bihillahaya Samaini Ela Motakabberen Sihillaha Yuhee Quid min howa Yapakhara phajjal asari nahone osirom bayjayhalem. Yundan blabin Kajan blnaya khtoryaha sadunya kanateph netephi bejehalin Atadari bilamasa- rateen phakef tasabuhu kaunnieja majekaralhada walador. As hmiman burukankad toluho watastaru hihila Yakajibaymana balay kulk amarena phaneya jaunabilamary Bikramatum".
Contrary to the general belief, the religion of Islam was not intended for the people of the entire world. Prophet Muhammad had launched his movement to dislodge the Quraish priests from the highly profitable posts of the Ka`aba, and to have them reallocated to himself and to his followers is inferable from the Quran itself (42-7) (27-91). It is clear from the above two verses of the Quran that the scope and the purpose of Islam were limited to the City of Mecca and that it was the Hindu Deity who had commanded the Prophet Muhammad to serve the lord of Mecca. Islam is terror and it calls its followers to kill non muslims. . Quran attracts 153A
It is in keeping with the Prophet's instruction from his deathbed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not permit any religion other than Islam to exist on its soil. Put in a nutshell Islam is not tolerant of other religions. Therefore, to claim that it is a religion of peace and harmony is simply untenable. A Muslim leader cannot be a moderate leader or turn his or her country into a moderate nation, if that leader is a good Muslim. The Quran says ‘Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth (Islam), (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued (9-29). Through the above, Allah has made it compulsory for the Muslim leaders to fight the non-Muslims. In the light of the above stipulation of the Quran, one must wonder: how can people, having even a little bit of common sense, ever claim that Islam promotes equality, moderation, tolerance and peace.
every major religion had displayed its intolerance, the crussades, partition, Israel....you need to get over it, do you really believe an entire religion of people could be that intolerant? Also translation is a wonderful thing that allows hate moungers to spread there filth its easy to interpret things as your mind wishes to percieve them, i would suggest that in this case it is you with the problem, with the intolerance.

As long as Muslims stay in siege mentality and in a state of denial,they will keep on deluding thmeselves, with clap trap.Till then they will be the most hated creed in the bear pit, by the non muslim world.Freedom, respect and dialogue is a two way process and not a one way cul-de sac.Muslims will be respected when they start to accept and respect non muslims as equals and not prat about how superior they are to others, with this mumbo jumbo of one God balloney.Also accept that islam is a problem in the Western society.The higest amount of non white criminals are muslims, apart from black Africans.Accept the facts and then change or transform,befor Islamophobia disappears.
Direct Quote 'The higest amount of non white criminals are muslims, apart from black Africans.Accept the facts and then change or transform,befor Islamophobia disappears.' Its easy to manipulate facts isnt it. The highest amount of non white criminals except for black Africans? so youve just excluded 2 of the biggest ethnic groups and, suprise suprise your left with the only remaining large group, also where do you get you statistics from? your head? which country are they from? In conclusion, i believ you should think before you type.
The USA has created ISLAM-PHOBIA,and has usurped power in Iraq and Afghanistan, If other nations of the World are not careful,it will be their turn to be invaded and occupied on one pretext or another,by the ruthless and cunning war-monger,the USA.
First, let these people talk to the terrrorists and bring them to their senses, of respecting other religions and people and not massacring common people. If they choose to go to war, let them come forth and fight directly, like a MAN and not like a coward by hiding themselves in a crowd !!also, ask OIC members to stop funding terrorists, either directly or indirectly. This itself will reduce the terrorist actions which in turn will bring common man not to discriminate against Muslims in day-to-day encounters !Not that I am in favour of Islamophobia, but one should understand the reason for it.Even recently, Muslims claimed it as freedom of expression when Hussain's paintings of Hindu Gods were condemned, but when it came to an exhibition of Aurangzeb's actions, the Muslims demanded winding up of the show. I am not against Islam, but this stupidity of sense, alone makes me angry over Muslims ! How can you be so stupid ??????????First, correct yourself !!
This is just crap. I think all of these people should grow up and learn to tolerate humor and constructive criticism. If they are demanding respect for islam and the way it behaves they should also understand the openness in the western society and take it as it comes. In pure simple language , this is BS.
Why muslims are not talking of their phobia of all other religions. Just look at the offical text books uses in schools in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.
OIC deserves a big hand for suggesting ways and means to counter Islamophobia.
ITS HIGHLY DEGRADING TO PAINT ALL MUSLIMS AS TERRORISTS, IT IS AGAINST HUMANITY, MUSLIMS ARE ONE OF THE BEST COMMUNITIES EVER.THE FEW RADICALS AMING THEM CAN AND SHOULD BE WON OVER WITH LOVE, PERFECTLY PORTRAYED IN THE RECENTLY RELEASED SUBHASH GHAI'S FILM 'BLACK and WHITE' THIS LANDMARK FILM HAS BEEN LOVED AND APPRICIATED BY ALL FOR ITS GANDHI CENTRIC VALUES.INCIDENTLY I HAPPEN TO BE THE STORY WRITER OF THIS POWERFULL FILM.

Foreign power have it planned very well for themselvesBet it Bin-Laden's Arabs(oil rich) or Western (techno rich) softer tactics.Be it the Maoist, Naxals. Can these Maoist, Naxal fight to useful cause such as political reforms i.e election of PM and CM directly by people instead of feudal or dynastic system to begin with??Foreign system want to utilize India/World talent in India or in foreign countries to enhance their designs/wellness/power OR waste them (into horrible conditions, terrorism) such that they are of NO use to their own nation(such as India) or be a threat.LONG DISCUSSION, we Indian have lost few centuries (colonization, bad politicians, etc. ) to miss the technology curve to gain world markets and have military/science hold, can we afford to waste more??
