‘Why was Islam equated with terrorism?’ Khan urged the Muslim world to combat Islamophobia

What happened: At the 48th Session of the Council of Foreign Minister of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Imran Khan said,  ‘Europeans don’t treat Jesus Christ like the way we treat our Holy Prophet (PBUH). They cannot understand the Muslim sentiment.”  At the same time, Imran Khan urged the Muslim leaders to take steps so that the image of Muslims globally could be improved. On March 22, Khan added,  “We Muslims are 1.5 billion people, yet our voice to stop this blatant injustice is insignificant.”  Details: However, Imran Khan appreciated that a resolution against Islamophobia was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly and proclaimed March 15 as an International Day to Combat Islamophobia. Imran Khan also suggested,  “The heads of the Muslim countries should have taken a stand on this(Christchurch Attack). Unfortunately, this narrative of Islamic terrorism, Islamic radicalization went untouched.” More: At the 48th OIC Session, Imran Khan spoke in regards to Islamophobia so that it can be combated and said,  “Any time any terrorist incident by Muslim happened, immediately meant that every Muslim was branded. How could the whole community be responsible for some fanatical deed by some extremists?”
