Message of the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar @MIshaqDar50 on the International Day to Combat Islamophobia #internationaldaytocombatislamophobia

On the occasion of the International Day to Combat Islamophobia today, Pakistan urges the international community to implement tangible and effective measures to address the rising tide of Islamophobia. Incidents of Islamophobic rhetoric, hate speech, and assaults on Muslim communities, mosques, and sacred symbols are serious violations of fundamental human rights and the principles of religious freedom. As a leading voice in the global fight against Islamophobia, Pakistan looks forward to continue working with the international community to promote tolerance, harmony, and mutual respect among all religions and cultures.
