The President of the Republic, Abd al-Latif Jamal Rashid, strongly condemned the irresponsible behavior of trying to repeat the attack on the Book of God, the All-Wise, and daring to flag the Iraqi state.
A presidential statement stated: “The President expresses great astonishment at the failure of the Swedish authorities to take the position required of a country that respects beliefs and sanctities, and this is what pushes the problem to more complexity and exacerbates feelings of anger at violations that must be deterred and put an end to them.”
He added, “The President was keen to alert and warn the authorities in Sweden, directly and through diplomatic channels, in order to respect the feelings of Muslims and prevent this deviant behavior.”
He continued: “The President stresses here again that the Kingdom of Sweden considers responsibly what is happening and what prevents the violation of the right of Muslims on all continents to respect and revere their sanctities in the same way they respect the sanctities of any human being on the planet and his right to believe.”
He explained: “The President of the Republic supports in these circumstances the right of peaceful and conscious expression to protest against these behaviors, taking into account respect for the country’s responsibilities in maintaining diplomatic traditions and adhering to international norms and laws.”
