Combating hate speech figures high during meeting of MWL chief with UK parliament speaker
Saudi Gazette report
LONDON — Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL) and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Dr. Mohammad Al-Issa met with Speaker of the UK House of Commons Sir Lindsay Hoyle in London.
Their discussions focused mainly on combating hate speech and all forms of discrimination and exclusion that undermine the national spirit, especially when such actions originate from influential legal or institutional entities. They also discussed topics such as the foundations of social cohesion in societies characterized by religious and ethnic diversity, notably mutual respect and the importance of enacting legislation that addresses threats to national unity.
Al-Issa underscored that the vast majority of Muslims in British society demonstrate strong religious and national awareness. He noted that discordant voices—wherever they may arise—are isolated incidents that reflect only the views of individuals and do not represent the values of Islam.
The UK Parliament also hosted a meeting with Sheikh Al-Issa at its London headquarters in which the speaker and several members of Parliament attended. Discussions focused on strengthening integration and harmony among the components of British society, combating extremism and hatred, and highlighting the efforts of the MWL in building bridges between civilizations and promoting mutual understanding among peoples.
