RIYADH — Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL) Sheikh Mohammed Al-Essa has emphasized the role of Muslims in general and the media and Islamic organizations in particular in presenting the true image of Islam and Muslims as well as in removing misgivings about Islam and confronting the ways of distorting its image. He also cautioned against some young men being lured into dangerous ideas that have nothing to do with Islam and Muslims.
The MWL chief made the remarks while addressing a session titled “Islamophobia: an intellectual crisis or media crisis” at the Saudi Media Forum, which began in Riyadh on Monday. He underscored the role of media in effectively confronting the phenomenon of Islamophobia, and its role in changing the stereotype image created by the hostile media under the guise of Islamophobia.
Al-Essa lauded the role of the Saudi Media Forum in dealing with various topics of importance in a professional and objective manner. “Islamophobia is a term that must be explored in all its details, starting with the causes, analysis and solutions, and comparing it with the controversies around it from all aspects,” he said
Secretary General of Muslim World League demands media present “true image of Islam”
The Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL), Sheikh Mohammed Al-Essa, want everyone to know what he claims is the “true image of Islam.” He is concerned about “dangerous ideas that have nothing to do with Islam and Muslims.”
So he wants you to ignore the obvious connection between Islam and a host of human rights abuses. He and many others like him want you to think that the Islamic genocide against Christians, the persecution of other religious minorities, the murder of gays, the Sharia inferiority of women, Sharia-justified pedophilia (child marriage), the Shi’ite practice of slicing open children’s skulls and smearing their blood all over them for the festival of Ashura, the expansion of Sharia in Indonesia’s Aceh province, cruel blasphemy laws in Pakistan, the Palestinian jihad against Israel, the violent commands in the Quran and Hadiths, etc., are all figments of your imagination. And if you think otherwise, then you’re “Islamophobic.”
Sheikh Mohammed Al-Essa’s argument is absurd, but it has gained much traction in the West. Making it worse is that Islamic supremacists know the truth about themselves, and recognize how gullible too many Westerners are, particularly Leftists.
Al-Essa made his speech in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a country that is bending over backwards in the face of its financial woes to make it look as if it is reforming in a direction of modernization, yet it remains a major exporter of Wahhabism globally.

is this jerk for real??? THEY created the term islamophobia to quell dissidents, period. If it looks like shit, it smells like shit, then it is shit, period.
mortimer says
‘ISLAMOPHOBIA’ is a perfect example of PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION … to accuse others of doing what you are doing.
AL WALAA WAL BARAA is an Islamic teaching that means to HATE the DIRTY KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’ …
AL WALAA WAL BARAA is in effect KAFIR-O-PHOBIA.
Ricardo says
is this jerks serious??? THEY created the term islamophobia for their benefit to quell dissidents and those of us who see through them. If it looks like crap, it smells like crap, then it is crap, period.
Brandon says
YES, let us read directly from the Koran and hadiths!

Westman says
The snarky, backroom controlled, regal, media has no intention of doing anything demanded of it. The more Islam stridently complains the more unfavorable press it will receive. It appears that the new media also enjoys having itself being the news – breaking a previous cardinal rule of reporting.
The true image of Islam is DEMAND. So have at it. CAIR still hasn’t figured out why its failing.

c.a.i.r. is failing? I wish they were….

It is not written in Genesis that God said “be fruitful and multiply.” Sex for procreation is not evil. It is good to get married and have sex, not evil. Sheesh. What a maroon.

FYI says
I have seen the true image of islam and some of the faces of the apologists for islam,usually covered by that tragically comical and pathetic islamic beard,a symbol of their false piety:
zakir{“I’d rather kill myself than commit suicide” }naik,muhammed burqa{sorry,Hijab} and his trained poodle ali dawa…who to be honest,do make me laugh as they have to{desperately}defend the indefensible.
I mean allah does get the “bright sparks” doesn’t he?
The True image of islam?
The Golden Rule,”Love thy Neighbor”,Non-violence,morality and deceny,Tolerance of other creeds and the right to be an “apostate”,music,art,literature ,science,having a laugh..:well there is none of that “infidel” nonsense in islam is there in the “true” religion,the religion of “peace”{WHERE??I’m not seeing the peace;1,400 years of “peace”…}?
Just lots of false piety on behalf of a god who gets Astronomy,Human Biology and Theology wrong{please READ the koran;especially if you are a muslim…who knew a allah’s “perfect” book had so many ERRORS in it?}
JHL says
For fourteen-hundred years, the true image of Islam has been one of incessant violent conquest.
mortimer says
The ‘REAL IMAGE’ of Islam is AL WALAA WAL BARAA …
http://westindanger.com/wb/walaa-baraa.html
mortimer says
AL WALAA WAL BARAA is actually Islamophobia in reverse.
This is psychological projection of what they are doing themselves … they are phobically hating all non-Muslims.

Ah, if only.
Fred Middleton says
I think we would be only too happy for the real Islam to be exposed – starting with that psychopathic, perverted gangster Muhammed.
Infidel says
From what someone told me, the Muslim World League is the organization that the Saudis use to promote their vision of Islam: it’s the reason they are very hostile to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a rival organization.
The Muslim World League has gone under the radar, but needs to be branded a terrorist organization just like the Muslim Brotherhood and their associates are
gravenimage says
Agreed–they are just rivals, Ultimately, they teach the same thing.
Peter Stutz says
Great word “kafirphobia”. Perhaps we should start throwing this word about a bit more to counter “islamophobia”.
No Muzzies Here says
Non-Muslims who present the true image of Islam get banned from Twitter, de-monetized on YouTube, and blocked from travelling to the UK.

tim gallagher says
I see things as completely the opposite to what this Muslim apologist says. I believe that islam, despite all the barbaric content (the misogyny, the hatred for all non-Muslims,etc) of the vile ideology and despite all the Muslim terrorist attacks all over the world, has been given far too soft treatment by many people, who spend their time defending Islam and telling us that Islam is actually decent and pleasant and peaceful. I think that this soft treatment that Islam has managed to get is one of the greatest con jobs of all time. This Muslim spokesman is trying to keep this soft treatment of Islam going. Islam deserves to have the truth told about it and to receive constant, harsh criticism. It has received soft treatment from many people for too long.
Peter35 says
Got it in spades, Tim! But until people wake up and stomp on the cockroach that is islam, they will just keep on advancing, as they are with their world wide protection racket, halal certification, which more and more western businesses are succumbing too.
tim gallagher says
Yes, Peter35, I often think that this soft treatment and respect that Islam, for some bizarre reason that I don’t understand, continues to get from so many people is probably the greatest con job ever perpetrated. I agree with what you say about the halal scam as well. I keep thinking too many people in the western world are just too nice and don’t want to offend Muslims. To my mind, Islam is vile and should be constantly criticised. Actually, I was just thinking that the people who comment here on Jihad Watch give Islam the amount of respect islam deserves, ie none. If only everyone would wake up.
Spiro says
Is this clown really serious he wants
True Islam exposed by the media
Now I’m convinced Islam is a mental
Illness
gravenimage says
He thinks that the MSM is not presenting a rosy enough picture of Islam.
Scott Carlson says
They never want true Islam exposed, just the fake version to fool infidels. Ignorance is their greatest power over the people of the host country. As long as people are ignorant they can use them as their puppets to defend it. It works very well for them.
ntesdorf says
The last thing that the Secretary General of the Muslim World League would like to see is a “true image of Islam”. He would be appalled by what was shown to him, or maybe, not.
gravenimage says
He just doesn’t want the Infidels to know what Islam has in store for them.
Scott Carlson says
Exactly. How else is he going to continue to blind the masses. Islam has it’s secrets that Muslims always work 24/7 on social media platforms in order to deceive to discredit any truth tellers. Islam depends on ignorance to survive. Kinda hard to take over a country through ignorance when growing awareness is happening.
What the Muslim just said is that truth tellers efforts are working.
Scott Carlson says
Bingo
elee says
Mr. Spencer, this blog is just what the man wanted. Should you send him a free subscription? He clearly needs to read your content.
Scott Carlson says
We don’t want that kind of trouble on here. Muslims would only try to get truth tellers shut down.

…………….
In other words, even the massive whitewash one gets from most of the media in the West regarding Islam is not enough for Muslims.
Islamaphone says
MWL should employ Robert Spencer to explain Islam to the masses.
Scott Carlson says
He means he’s demanding more Islamic propaganda videos because some people are waking up to their sinister totalitarian ideology.
seabird says
Just send him a video of people jumping from the windows of the burning World Trade Center thanks to his evil and corrupt ideology.
