Prophet is being ridiculed in Western countries
Imran wrote that mosques are being closed in Europe, women are not allowed to wear public clothes as they wish, while nuns and clergy wear them according to their religion. He further wrote in his letter ‘Today we are facing a growing anxiety and uneasiness in our Ummah (community), as they are witnessing increasing Islamophobia and attacks in Western countries through ridicule and mockery on our beloved Prophet’.

Imran Khan further wrote that condemnation of any Prophet of Islam, Christianity or Judaism was unacceptable in our faith. Now the time has come that our leaders of Muslim countries should reach this message with clarity in the rest of the world, especially in the western world. This would end Islamophobia, Islam and the attack on our Prophet.
