The UN's confirmation that fighting poverty will achieve sustainable development goals surely places considerable responsibilities on international projects and various governments through cooperation between public and private sectors to achieve the millennium development goals. True experience shows that countries that have successfully achieved these goals did so by teamwork, combining the efforts of citizens, communities, NGOs, governments and other partners. This calls for exchanging trust between the public and the private sector.

We should prioritize integration to achieve success in various international programs and projects, through seeking help of the international private sector that is capable of doing a lot in spreading education, child protection and other issues. What matters is projects' success and achievements, especially with the presence of youth potentials and belief in the goals set by UN organizations.

Despite the humane goals of many programs and activities, some directed and oriented media has been racing to describe Islam and Muslims as groups of terrorists in general who plotted and executed the 9/11 attacks, which is not true. One should not generalize and point to unproved accusations at random. Such media also criticized Muslim women's attire and the veil, though it is part of people's personal freedom that protects them from sexual harassment.

In Islam, male circumcision is mandated to protect women during sexual intercourse while females are not circumcised in Islam, and this only happens in some Muslim and African countries as a habit and tradition.

Many friends from other faiths do realize such irresponsible media disfiguration and defaming of Islam, but many of the radical extreme youth believe that Syrian refugees flowing into Europe are radicals and are the reason behind lack of job opportunities, without knowing that these refugees include Muslims and non-Muslims form Syria and other parts of the world who have lost their homes and loved ones because of wars and that they need the international community's cooperation regardless of any media disfiguration!
