Malaysia's Statement at General Assembly Debate on UN Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism

In its statement at the General Assembly Debate on the Secretary General's Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism on February 16, 2016, Malaysia was one more majority Muslim state to change the subject from Islamist terror to the alleged danger of "Islamophobia." In its words:

"We are concerned at the increase of intolerance and discrimination against Muslims, resulting in the upsurge of Islamophobia, a phenomenon which is an affront to the human rights and dignity of Muslims."
