PM Imran Khan calls on Western governments to treat insults against Islam’s prophet as it does the Holocaust.
Islamabad, Pakistan – Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for Muslim-majority countries to band together to lobby Western governments to criminalise the insulting of Islam’s prophet, as negotiations between his government and a far-right anti-blasphemy religious group continue. In a televised address to the nation from the capital, Islamabad, on Monday, Khan said he would lead a campaign of Muslim-majority countries to “convince” Western countries on the issue of blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad. “We need to explain why this hurts us, when in the name of freedom of speech they insult the honour of the prophet,” Khan said.
