Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for Arab States Jassim Mohammed Albudaiwi expressed on Friday his strong condemnation of the continued provocations against Muslims, and the desecration of another copy of the holy Quran in the Swedish capital Stockholm.
He stressed that these disgraceful and unacceptable acts provoke the feelings of Muslims all over the world, and that the Swedish authorities must take immediate and serious action to stop these behaviors and hold extremists accountable, said SPA.
Albudaiwi stressed that these heinous incitements contradict the principles of tolerance and freedom of religion, and are indicative of hatred, and extremism.
He also referred to the emergency session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which convened last week, and condemned the acts of religious hatred. The Council stressed the need for all countries and international organizations to prevent and address irresponsible acts in accordance with international laws, treaties and norms that protect and preserve religions.
