Baptists warn against 'culture of Islamophobia'
New York (ENI). Christians and Muslims need to re-
cognise that they are "spiritual siblings", speakers at
a global Baptist congress have stated, while warning
against Islamophobia. "The vilification of Christianity
by Muslim extremists in order to justify militant jihad
and the need to convert an 'immoral' West to Islam is
alive and well," Nabil Costa, executive director of the
Lebanese Baptist Society in Beirut, Lebanon, said during
the Baptist World Congress in Honolulu, Hawaii. "In the
same way, political and media voices in the West have
used long-standing prejudice against Islam in order to
paint a vile picture of a religion that is part of an 'axis
of evil' and bent on the destruction of a so-called
'free world'," Costa said in his presentation.
