He was addressing a gathering at the National University of Modern Languages (NUML) on the launching ceremony of the book titled “Do Muslims Scare You? A guide for Journalists” authored by Osama Bin Javaid, a journalist and member of Aljazeera Media Institute, currently visiting NUML. Rector NUML Major General Shahid Mahmood Kayani (Retd), on this occasion, emphasized the role of media in curbing Islamophobia as it is creating hatred against Muslims and destroying the social fabric of international community.
