One of the largest moderate Islam advocacy groups in the world says that the time for endless talk and fruitless dialogue is over – instead, the world needs concrete actions.
, including violent punishment of religious minorities and activists. Before the Ministry of Justice, Issa served on the Grievances Court – a judicial body that handles arbitration on religious and political crimes. The death penalty continued while Issa was on the board, but the number of executions began to rise after his move to the king's cabinet.
"For example, we have long recognized the vital friendship and respect between Muslim and Jewish faiths," Issa said."I led a ground-breaking trip to Auschwitz in 2020 whereby myself and a prominent delegation of Muslim scholars remembered the atrocious crimes committed against the Jewish population during WW2.
"The best example of how MWL’s commitment to cross religious dialogue has not sacrificed the core tenets of Islam is our recent visit to the United States, where we engaged the Christian Evangelical community in what is commonly referred to as the Bible belt," Issa told Fox News Digital. "The Charter of Makkah is a pan-Islamic set of principles which support and promote anti-extremism, religious and cultural diversity, and calls for legislation against hate-motivated crimes and violence," the charter's website states."The document was declared at the end of a four-day conference organized by the Muslim World League in Makkah. It was approved by Islamic leaders of 139 countries and signed by around 1,300 prominent Muslim figures.
"Although holding talks with leading Jewish, Christian, and Catholic representatives – such as the one I shared in 2019 with Pope Francis – are crucial to promoting mutual understanding, the MWL knows more needs to be done to achieve peace," he told Fox News Digital."Our desire to operate large scale and global projects with, and for, different faiths and nations is what allows us to go beyond conversation.
