“We join the nearly 2 billion Muslim population worldwide to mark, for the first time, the International Day to combat #Islamophobia. We commend those who made it possible, especially Imran Khan, Ex-Pakistan PM, OIC and the UN, as we strongly believe that a day like this will help curtail the increasing cases of Islamophobic attacks across the world, including Nigeria. We therefore call on government at all levels across the world to end discrimination and violence against Muslims, particularly women, in Nigeria, India and other Islamophobic nations. #EndIslamophobia”.
