PUTRAJAYA: Addressing Islamophobia should be done through a civilised contestation of ideas, not through hatred and enmity, says the Prime Minister.

A firm believer in the need for discourse, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that while it is easy to retaliate through aggression, there must be strength and courage to continue to engage so that differences can be understood.
