“It was a horrendous massacre by the Nazis ... We’ve come here as an Islamic delegation to say these words and through tangible actions,” says Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed al-Issa, head of the Mecca-based Muslim World League, during a visit to Warsaw.https://t.co/Ye69kd8usy pic.twitter.com/T0LUehwbBC

Note that according to the related article from 2020-01-24:

The AJC said that Al-Issa led a delegation of 62 Muslims, including 25 prominent religious leaders, from some 28 countries.

Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that Issa has had a moderating effect on the Muslim World League, which once propagated “a virulent strain of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic writing, thinking and preaching.”

Under Issa’s leadership, Satloff said, the organization has shifted its approach to curb hardliners and reach out to other faiths.
