Algeria Calls For Extra Efforts To Fight Islamophobia

Algerian Foreign Minister Sabri Boukadoum on Saturday reaffirmed his country’s stance on fighting all forms and sources of Islamophobia. His remarks came during his speech at the 47th meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), currently hosted by the city of Niamey, The Niger.

He noted that the meeting comes in a critical time where Islamophobia and campaigns against Islam are rising especially in Europe, as well as terrorism and extremism.

The rights of Muslims in non-Muslim countries are being violated, even in job opportunities and education, Boukadoum said. The minister also called for signing an international agreement to fight terrorism and cut off all of its sources.

Meanwhile, he said that the meeting is an opportunity to enhance cooperation between Muslim countries to achieve development and tackle stability and security issues.
