The Muslim World League (MWL) has condemned, in the strongest terms, the crime of burning a copy of the Holy Quran in Stockholm, Sweden.
The scenes of this disgraceful act provoke Muslims’ sentiments, especially on the blessed Eid Al-Adha, it said in a statement reported by Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
MWL Secretary-General, Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa denounced this absurd and heinous crime, carried out under the protection of the police and under the claim of practising freedom of expression, while in reality, it abuses, among many things, the true concept of freedom; which calls for respecting and not provoking others under any pretext.
Dr. Al-Issa warned against the dangers of these practices that fuel hatred, provoke religious sentiments, and serve only the agendas of extremism.
