CAIRO
, September 6, 2005 (IslamOnline.net) – Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip
Erdogan stressed that anti-Islamism must be treated as a crime against
humanity just like anti-Semitism, the Turkish daily Zaman reported
on Tuesday, September 6.
Addressing
the sixth meeting of the Eurasian Islamic Council meeting in
Istanbul
Monday, September 5, Erdogan said his government has added an article
to the declaration in the European Council regarding Islamophobia
stipulating that anti-Islamism be accepted as a crime against
humanity.
He
also urged the Muslim scholars to do their utmost efforts to clear
misconceptions associating Islam and Muslims with terrorism.
"We
struggle against the spread of the misconception of Islam in all
international meetings we attend," Erdogan said.
"This
meeting will be nothing more than a tourist holiday if you just come
here, talk and then go on your own way; however, we want to yield
fruits from this meeting within the Eurasian geography."
