Crimes against humanity ".

"We have suffered a great deal in Iraq from the blind fanaticism of terrorists and extremists who have caused corruption in the land, killed innocent people and assaulted women and children, but sold them in markets of slavery," Abadi said.

"Iraq has been attacked by terrorist fanaticism against all innocent citizens and against minorities. Such fanaticism destroys societies, including the very societies from which this fanaticism originates," he said. "The free world can not tolerate this blind fanaticism against the weak of minorities and against humanity."

He called on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to hold an emergency meeting of foreign ministers of Islamic countries to take urgent action to put an end to these heinous violations, as well as to call for the formation of an international coalition to rescue the Rohingya minority and stop this criminal fanaticism and bloodshed.

"Iraq, despite its bleeding wounds and the great sacrifices it has made in confronting and eradicating terrorism, is ready to do whatever it can to eradicate this criminal fanaticism and stop the machine of killing innocent people and destroying it," he said.
