Governments critical to the United States are meeting in Turkey to discuss the idea of an alternative "World Parliament". The project is designed to "advance mutual respect for religious beliefs and traditions and to reaffirm humankind's interdependence in all areas."

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's opening comments to those assembled included this: "No one has the right to put the name of a religion in front of the word terror. We will never accept the term Islamic terror, in the same way we cannot say Christian or Jewish terror. [...] Just like antisemitism is considered a crime against humanity, I hereby declare that Islamophobia is a crime against humanity."
