The OIC's decision to establish an International Day to Combat Islamophobia reflects the organization's commitment to promoting peace and stability in the Muslim world and protecting the rights of Muslims.
The International Day to Combat Islamophobia will be observed by OIC member states around the world, and it will provide a platform for raising awareness about Islamophobia and promoting tolerance and understanding.
