Erdogan calls for fight on Islamophobia like ‘anti-Semitism after Holocaust’

By FULYA OZERKAN

ISTANBUL, Turkey (AFP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday called for a global fight against rising Islamophobia like “anti-Semitism after the Holocaust” following the deadly attacks on two New Zealand mosques.

The Turkish leader has presented the mosque attacks by a self-avowed white supremacist who killed 50 people as part of a wider assault on Islam and demands the West do more against anti-Muslim sentiment.
