Rejecting hatred, extremism, “all forms of discrimination,” exclusion and division is good, right? Not when such words are manipulated by stealth jihadists, far-Leftists and hate-filled Black Lives Matter revolutionaries. And an even starker reminder of this nefarious manipulation has now occurred in Saudi Arabia. This international group of Islamic leaders isn’t assembling to figure out how Saudi Arabia can put its lip-service to reform into action; rather, they’re there to combat divisions and “discrimination” between Muslim groups — not infidels, not apostates, not anyone other than Muslims.
More than 1,299 religious scholars and intellectuals took part in a conference titled “International Conference on Islamic unity — the perils of labeling and exclusion” held in Makkah on Wednesday.
Non-Muslims are barred from entering Makkah (Mecca). The event was organized by the Muslim World League. The Saudi-backed charity International Islamic Relief Organization is an offshoot of the Muslim World League, which has been found to be supported by jihadist organizations. This Conference “committed to serve Muslims” is also uniting the Islamic powerhouses of the world to battle “Islamophobia,” and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation is included, as expected. The OIC leads the global charge against “Islamophobia,” which is nothing more than a “jihad on free speech” in the West.
The secretary-general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen, hailed Saudi Arabia’s successful experience against extremism, violence and terrorism. He said the steps Saudi Arabia has taken to counter this negative trend have transformed it into a reliable reference for everything related to Islam.
Never mind that Saudi Arabia spends billions to export Wahhabism worldwide, and that the Islamic State’s doctrine is rooted in Wahhabism. Saudi Arabia acts as “both the arsonists and the firefighters.”
