Ayaz Gul

   ISLAMABAD - Leaders of Pakistan, Turkey and Malaysia have decided to
   jointly launch an English language television channel dedicated to
   confronting Islamophobia and removing "misperceptions" about Islam.

   Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan announced the decision Thursday
   after his trilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip
   Erdogan and Malaysian Prime Minister Mahatir Mohamad on the sidelines
   of the U.N. General Assembly in New York.

   The three-nation channel would offer Muslims a dedicated media presence
   to help in "setting the record straight" on Islam and fighting the
   phenomenon of Islamophobia internationally.
