Maha Mostafa Akeel, managing editor of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) journal on Monday asked Islamic media to fight extremism.<>
Speaking to IRNA on the sidelines of the 10th Islamic Conference of Information Ministers (ICIM) experts meeting, she added that Islamic states’ news outlets should have a united approach in fight against terrorism.
Islamic media should introduce the merciful and peaceful nature of Islam to the world, the official noted.
Muslims as well as non-Muslims should know that the crimes committed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or other extremist groups have nothing to do with the Islamic teachings, she added.
ICIM experts meeting kicked off here Monday morning. The two-day meeting seeks to help consolidate unity and present a proper image of Islam and Muslim states.
