00:00While Islamophobia and anti-Semitism are on the rise in Europe and around the world,
00:07Sheikh Dr. Mohamed Alissa, the Secretary General of the Muslim World League,
00:11called for dialogue between cultures and civilizations and warned against religious hatred.
00:17In an interview with Euronews, Dr. Alissa also condemned the war in Gaza,
00:22which has been raging for a year and a half following the Hamas attack on southern Israel.
00:27Of course, what is happening in Gaza is a tragedy and it is more like genocide, if not actually genocide.
00:36What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of humanity.
00:41What is happening in Gaza has violated international humanitarian law.
00:47Dr. Alissa also warned against blaming Jews or Muslims for the armed conflicts and instability in the Middle East.
00:55He said the terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims in Europe represent only those who carried them out.
01:02These attacks that are committed in the name of Islam, they are committed in the name of their owners.
01:09They are not in the name of Islam. They represent themselves.
01:13They represent their extremism that is isolated and excluded by our Islamic world.
01:19Our Islamic world enjoys the values and moderation of Islam.
01:23These are a few, but the vocal phenomenon of these few is alarming.
01:28The voice of the loudspeaker of Islam.
01:31Sheikh Alissa, who previously served as Minister of Justice in his home country, Saudi Arabia,
01:36said that dialogue is the only way to reconcile peoples and cultures.
01:41We are against any form of hatred, whatever the form of hatred.
01:48We are against hostility, against followers of religions because of their religious choice.
01:57And also against any other hostility, whether it's ethnic, cultural, or whatever the form of this hostility and hatred.
02:09The Muslim World League is an Islamic organization based in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
02:15It defines itself as an Islamic body that promotes tolerance and friendship among peoples.
02:21And you can watch that full interview on the Europe Conversation on Thursday.
02:26The Religion of Odin is from Nepal too.
