On Monday, Radio Pakistan reported that UNESCO had issued an award to Islam calling it the ‘most peaceful religion in the world’.
The article, sourced from a satire website Junta Ka Reporter, has now been deleted after UNESCO put out a statement denying ever making such proclamations.
“We wish to refer to the recent allegations posted on the website juntakareporter, citing an alleged statement and certificate from UNESCO declaring ‘Islam as the most peaceful religion of the world’. Such statement was never made by the Organization and that the certificate reproduced on this website is a fake one. The website that published this information is a satirical media.
“UNESCO has never had any official relationship with the entity referred to as “International Peace Foundation”, nor has it ever supported such a statement or granted any diploma of this kind.
“In line with its mandate, the Organization has the responsibility to promote interreligious and intercultural dialogue on a global scale, with the unerring support of its Member States, partners and networks. In doing so, UNESCO promotes respect on equal grounds for all traditions and faiths, always striving to build bridges and strengthen ties whenever possible,” the statement said.
UNESCO should be abolished. It is an evil organization and an enemy of all that is good.
