In talking about Islamphobia, Ihsanoglu said it “is a new name to an old phenomenon” and urged politicians in western countries to combat it. “The tendency to divide the world into good and evil, civilized and uncivilized, is inviting hostilities, disputes and instability,” he added. When asked about the OIC position on reform of the U.N. Security Council, Ihsanoglu said, “We want a seat on the Security Council. We have 1.5 billion people and a monopoly on the problems in the world.”--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/591690
