Myanmar Leader Suu Kyi Wins 'Islamophobe' Of The Year Award
29 November 2017Anadolu Agency
Myanmar's foreign minister and de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi was announced
the 2017 International Islamophobe of the Year on Sunday.
Her atrocities targeting Myanmar's Muslim minority are so egregious that she
shot past other nominated international Islamophobes, U.S. President Donald
Trump, French far-right party National Front leader Marie Le Pen, Dutch
far-right Freedoms Party leader Geert Wilders.
Between 2,000 and 3,000 Muslims were killed in Myanmar's Rakhine state in the
last three months, according to the European Rohingya Council and more than
617,000 Rohingya Muslims were forced to take shelter in neighboring
Bangladesh.
The annual Islamophobia Awards by the London-based Islamic Human Rights
Commission hosted the representatives of many NGOs and Muslims. The program
started with recitation from the Muslim's holy book of Quran.
In the "United Kingdom" category, the Islamophobe of the year was announced as
Tommy Robinson-the former leader of the fascist English Defense League (EDL)-who
is infamously known by his anti-Islam views.
The other candidates in this category were TV presenter and columnist Katie
Hopkins, former leader of the populist UK Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel
Farage, far-right For Britain Party founder Anne Marie Waters and British
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
Fox News also received the ironic award in the "media" category.
The Islamic Human Rights Commission is an "independent, not-for-profit,
campaign, research and advocacy organization," established in 1997.
