Speaking Wednesday in Vienna at a United Nations summit for tolerance, Erdogan said, "Just like Zionism, anti-Semitism and fascism, it becomes unavoidable that Islamophobia must be regarded as a crime against humanity," Anatolia News Agency and other Turkish media reported.
UN Watch, a Geneva-based human rights group, called on Erdogan to apologize for his "shocking" statements and urged U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to condemn the speech publicly. UN Watch said Ban was on stage while Erdogan was speaking.
