Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>United Nations Secretary-General Anto\u0301nio Guterres has urged nations worldwide to improve their efforts in eradicating anti-muslim hate. Guterres in a statement on Wednesday, which is the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, issued a rallying call to people to weed out any hatred they may harbor against Muslim people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world\u2019s nearly 2 billion Muslims reflect humanity in all its magnificent diversity. But they often face bigotry and prejudice for no other reason than their faith,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond structural, institutional discrimination and the wholesale stigmatisation of Muslim communities, Muslims suffer personal attacks, hateful rhetoric and scapegoating.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that sadly, the world has witnessed some of the worst impacts in the triple discrimination against Muslim women just because of their gender, ethnicity and faith.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe growing hate that Muslims face is not an isolated development: it is part of the resurgence of ethnonationalism, neo-Nazi white supremacist ideologies, and violence targeting vulnerable populations including Muslims, Jews, some minority Christian communities and others,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

The SG highlighted the role the collective world needs to take to stand up against the vice which he believes is an active form of discrimination that diminishes us all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must strengthen our defenses by pushing for policies that fully respect human rights and protect religious and cultural identities. We must recognise diversity as a richness and ramp up political, cultural, and economic investments in social cohesion,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we must confront bigotry by working to tackle the hate that spreads like wildfire across the internet.\u201d Guterres lauded Islam\u2019s message of peace, compassion and grace which for more than a millennium has inspired countless people all over the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery great faith and tradition summons the imperatives of tolerance, respect, and mutual understanding. At the heart, we are dealing with universal values: they animate the United Nations Charter and lie at the core of our quest for justice, human rights, and peace,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

Today and every day, let us strive to realize these values and counter the forces of division by reaffirming our common humanity.” On March 15, 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution sponsored by 60 Member-States of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which designated March 15, as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.<\/p>\n
