Hassan Abedin said that political leaders in Asia are exacerbating problem of anti-Muslim sentiment by making inflammatory speeches for electoral gains. He is the Head of the Department of the Muslims and Minorities of the OIC. He expressed his thoughts during a two-day international seminar on Muslims and human rights in Istanbul. Under the guise of national security, he added, the Muslims are being target and criminalized across India which they themselves call a secular state in India.
Abedin urged the public to find ways to oppose this religious war. Because ignoring anti-Muslim sentiment will only give the attackers more space and opportunities. We must appreciate the leaders who took concrete action after the Christchurch attack, Abedin said. He also applauded during emergency meeting held in Istanbul in 2019 to discuss terrorist attack on New Zealand’s two mosques.
