By “disinformation and Islamophobia,” the OIC means truthful and accurate reporting about Islam and jihad. It is under the guise of “combating disinformation” that the freedom of speech will be destroyed.
“OIC adopts Istanbul Declaration to combat Islamophobia worldwide,” Daily Sabah, October 22, 2022:
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) adopted a declaration to fight against disinformation and Islamophobia, Türkiye’s Communications Director Fahrettin Altun said on Saturday following the conclusion of the organization’s two-day conference held in Istanbul.
“Undoubtedly, disinformation and Islamophobia are among the strategies used by the colonial order established in the context of media and information in the international arena.
“Therefore, we need to wage an effective and multidimensional struggle in solidarity against this colonial order. For this reason, we have accepted the Istanbul Declaration at our conference today,” Altun said at a news conference following the 12th Conference of the Information Ministers of the OIC.
During the two-day conference in Istanbul, ministers and high-level representatives from 57 countries discussed several issues, seeking to deepen cooperation in the fields of media, communications and information in the Islamic world.
The conference, held under the theme of “Combating Disinformation and Islamophobia in the Post-Truth Era,” aimed to develop and strengthen the cooperation of Islamic countries in the field of media and communications.
The Istanbul Declaration, Altun said, was adopted at a critical time when the countries struggle against Islamophobia.
“In the declaration, we emphasized the importance of combating systematic disinformation in the digital age we live in.
“We have pointed out the threat that disinformation activities and fake news pose to the security of individuals and countries, as well as to the Muslim community and minorities around the world.”…
The role played by the international media and global think tanks in spreading Islamophobia is “undeniable,” Altun argued.
“Unfortunately, international media paints an extremely negative portrait of Muslims,” he added….

Unfortunately, I think the OIC and their ilk are winning. And this is because, first and foremost, the West has entered into the stupidest period in its entire history, dating from the 1960’s and courtesy of Leftism, standard avarice, ignoramuses overall and a monumental heap of cowards.
P.S. The “colonial order?” Just one more way to try to inflict guilt upon gullible Westerners, respecting which gullible people there is a shitload nowadays, but never mind the colonial aspects of Islam which have been existent whenever and however Islam has tortured mankind since its malevolent inception in the 7th century.
But please don’t forget that the West engaged in rank imperialism while Islam simply “spread.” Uh-huh.

Wellington,
The foolish West remains gullible because when they see someone from North Africa or mid-east, they are excited at the very sight of the utopian globalization. No country is equal to US in this respect.
PRCS says
Islam.
So incompatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the OIC developed the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam, wherein such rights are limited to those permitted by Islamic law (sharia).
Amputations, anyone?
**As an aside, with that media pet (Malala Yousafzai), the late Prime Minister of Pakistan (Benazir Bhutto), the current Prime Minister of Bangladesh (Sheikh Hasina), and the woman at the center of the article’s picture in mind: no, it is not about covering a Muslim woman’s hair.

Im European but I live in SE Asia so I am a minority…

I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
Just for your information…. according to Historical Anthropological Evolution, “Caucasian” or “Caucasoid” usually includes some or all of the populations of Europe, the Caucasus (a region in Europe between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, which includes Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and parts of Russia, Turkey and Iran), Asia Minor, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia and South Asia.
It’s not about colour that you’re trying to imply…. it’s about the overall gene makeup.
I am brown but I identify myself as “Caucasian”
I presume you’re from Scotland.
Check Burry says
So they are creating a declaration to combat the thing they created.

islam must be getting restless that the term islamophobia is not having the desired results in subjugating the infidels. Now, they want to take this propaganda war to next level. Hope this draws out islam vs free speech in the open for further confrontation, In the long run islam vs free world is inevitable even if they lose out on Iran remaining islamic.
