Extremism exists in many forms across the world and is often driven by social, political and economic factors.

In the Middle East and North Africa, there is compelling evidence that sectarian tensions are being manipulated for political ends by state and non state actors. This could potentially lead to greater conflict and violence across the region.

Iman will campaign to say no to extremism and sectarianism in the MENA region, and around the world. We will campaign for zero tolerance of extremism and sectarianism.

Our campaign will highlight to lawmakers and governments, all individuals, groups, organisations and governments who promote and propogate extremism and sectarianism by using religion to incite hatred, conflict and violence. We will make available all offending material, including comments, statements, articles and videos.

It is imperative for the international community to show zero tolerance to all those who use religion to incite hatred, conflict and violence.
