It has been organized by the Muslim World Media Activists Center with support from the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought.
Top media activists and religious scholars from more than 20 countries are attending the event either in person or virtually, discussing issues related to Islamic Ummah’s unity, media literacy, and capacities of international media.
It is one in a series of international gatherings called Minaret International Conference.
The participants in today’s event in a statement condemned the recent insults to the Holy Quran and Islamic sanctities in European countries.
They described such sacrilegious moves as disgraceful acts that no law or logic supports.
Such moves hurt the feelings of billions of Muslims and noble people in the world and provoke hate and discord, they said.
The statement also decried Western governments for planting the seeds of hatred and animosity and fan the flames of violence in the world.
It underscored that Muslims, based on their religious beliefs, never allow themselves to insult the sanctities of other faiths and that the followers of Islam hold all divine books and prophets in high respect.
