Rabat, (IINA) - The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) condemned on Tuesday the racist statements against French Muslims made by the ex-French minister and a member of the European Parliament Nadine Morano.
In a talk show aired on the 2nd French channel, Morano stated that she find the increasing Muslim numbers in the French society “alarming”, urging for the "preservation of a Christian France".
The Director General of ISESCO Abdulaziz Al-Tuwaijri said that such racist statement should not be issued by a member of the European Parliament, and that a member of the parliament should oblige the international rules regarding respect for human rights, cultural and religious diversity among other aspects.
Al-Tuwaijri urged the Council of Europe and the European Parliament to condemn these remarks, saying that they are against the Universal Declaration of human rights and the European Convention on Human Rights.
