A large<br>segment of the Western community developed a perception of prejudice about Muslims<br>and Islam as a threat to tranquility of mankind that can eventually dwarf the entire<br>global system. Such perception desperately affects the Muslim diaspora in the West and<br>even elsewhere with discrimination for their physical appearances, dresses and<br>religious practices. The Muslims minorities are labelled as terrorists, following the so<br>called radical Islam, a sense of hatred and discrimination is shaping out against them<br>among other societies. Such crucial incidents can be viewed as new fault-lines amid<br>Islam and the Western world. The Organization of Islamic Conference along with some<br>of the Muslim majority states; such as Turkey, Malaysia and Pakistan have started<br>playing their role in educating both the Muslims and the West about the fault-lines of<br>Islamophobia and its ultimate horrors for peace, stability and harmony world over.</p> ER -
