"However, during recent periods we are observing that Islamophobia -- which expresses the mentality that the religion of Islam contains and encourages violence with its history, that Islam was spread over the world by swords, and that Muslims are potential users of violence -- is gradually increasing," Bardakoglu added.
"Međutim, u poslednje vreme primećujemo da se islamofobija -- koja izražava mišljenje da islamska vera u sebi sadrži i podstiče nasilje svojom istorijom, da se Islam širio po svetu sabljama i da su Muslimani potencijalni korisnici nasilja -- postepeno povećava", dodao je Bardakoglu.
