Imran Khan maintained that terrorism has nothing to do with any religion but sadly, some western leaders associated suicide bombings and acts of terror with Islam and coined terms like ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ and ‘Islamic extremism’ for political benefits without taking into consideration how this behaviour might give rise to Islamophobia.

Prime Minister Imran Khan also called for effective measures to counter hate speech and Islamophobia in the west.
