Talk to Al Jazeera – Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu: Combating Islamophobia

Last year, the current presidential candidate Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu for Turkey’s opposition CHP (or Republican People’s Party) spoke to Al Jazeera. At the time, Ihsanoglu was still secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), headquartered in Saudi Arabia and funded by Islamic nations across the world. Jane Dutton sat down with Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu to discuss some hot topics in Europe at present: including discrimination, freedom of expression and religious persecution (1 June 2013).
