00:00We are unified, we are together and we are informed, we are ready to fight
00:05not just Islamophobia but all kind of discrimination also.
00:15Azerbaijan welcomes the resolutions on combating Islamophobia adopted by the UN General Assembly
00:21and calls for the immediate implementation of all measures envisaged in those resolutions.
00:26The third international conference on combating Islamophobia took place in Baku in Azerbaijan
00:31held under the theme unveiling bias and shattering stigmas. It builds upon Azerbaijan's steadfast
00:38commitment to combating misinformation, global manifestations and Islamophobia in all its forms.
00:45New forms of Islamophobia based on the racism, discrimination and hatred are emerging and
00:51social media and certain media outlets are contributing a lot. Unfortunately what we
00:56see that in a tendency of radicalism and extremism in a different part of the world and currents
01:01and crises and conflicts are also contributing a lot in this particular moment and we think
01:06that global community should come together and fight elements of Islamophobia and tendencies
01:11of Islamophobia together.
01:12The event hosted over 120 foreign guests including scholars from 40 countries who came together
01:19with a universal call for the protection of human rights, tolerance and social justice.
01:24The forum was not a religious one but nonetheless brought together many multi-faith leaders from
01:30around the globe sharing their solidarity on the importance of coexistence and social harmony.
01:36Events like this are critical because where do we talk about it? We hear about some crisis. We hear about a bombing. We hear about people doing something mean and hateful and retaliation. If we don't have forums like this, there's nowhere to talk. There's nowhere to meet. They're critical.
01:51Information must go together with cooperation with thinking together with cooperation with thinking together and to have because to have not fear. When we have fear one for another that it's and to to lose the fear that that means we must find the platform to dialogue.
02:16And we are able Catholics, Christians speak with peace in heart with Muslims, with Jewish. I think that is a good example for the young people. Do not be close in some small groups against another world. But we are living in one ship. We are living in the world and I hope that God help us to find the common language.
02:44Reports of Islamophobia have intensified in recent years highlighting the growing discrimination, moral pressure and violence that some Muslim communities are facing around the world.
02:54Azerbaijan's efforts are not limited to domestic policy but extend to international cooperation and global dialogue.
03:02Esma Okan is the first female chair of the Muslim Council of Belgium and reflects on the situation in Europe.
03:09There is this reality in Europe, not only in Belgium but other European countries that we see that far right is more and more increasing. So this is not only the reality of one country, it's also the reality of different European countries.
03:23So we have to face a very, very big challenge as believing people. There is this understanding of mistrust between states and communities. And I hope that one day, especially the governments of the different European countries can see the value of these believing communities and that they will also see them as full fledged citizens.
03:47Yes, we face difficulties but by coming to these kind of conferences, by raising and letting our voices be heard, I think we can start the dialogue and to work to a better society where everyone has a place.
04:05The role of AI and digital media in both spreading and combating Islamophobia was widely discussed. A local host website has been launched as an observatory platform that will reflect the state of Islamophobia worldwide.
04:19Call it Islamophobia, call it discrimination, call it hate, whatever you call it but it is reality unfortunately.
04:25I'm personally not so naive to believe that with one conference we will resolve the problems so much. But it's awareness, you know, to give, to show our voice, to raise our voice that we know what are you doing and stop doing this one.
04:39And we know that step by step will be some results. Not to absolutely, maybe it's impossible to give, to reach absolute result but somehow to reduce the rate of Islamophobia.
04:51And it's only a unified effort that will ensure those results become a reality.
