Saudi Arabia has condemned the burning of a Quran in the United States, calling it a “heinous act” that runs counter to the teachings of Islam.
In a statement released Saturday, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said the act of burning the Quran “constitutes a flagrant violation of the principles of Islamic faith and humanitarian values.”
The statement said the kingdom reaffirms its rejection of any act that constitutes a violation of any religious beliefs or sacred texts.
The burning of the Quran, Islam’s holy book, sparked outrage in the Muslim world and prompted protests in Afghanistan.
Saudi Arabia on Saturday emphatically censured the consuming of duplicates of the Qur’an by radicals in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, “in another provocative move toward the feeling of millions of Muslims all over the planet.”
The Service of International concerns emphasized the Realm’s situation, which “emphatically dismisses this multitude of obtrusive demonstrations that have sadly been rehashed in a few European capitals as of late, under the guise of opportunity of articulation, without an unmistakable response toward shutting down these practices.”
The Realm approached all European legislatures in which these radical infringements happened, to critically address this large number of practices that add to powering scorn and struggle between devotees of religions, the service said in a proclamation.
Rasmus Paludan, an extreme right lobbyist who holds both Danish and Swedish citizenship, currently goaded the Muslim world by organizing a Qur’an-consuming dissent in Sweden on January 21. On Friday, Paludan reproduced the trick before a mosque as well as the Turkish Government office in Copenhagen and promised to proceed with each Friday until Sweden is conceded into NATO.
A few local and global associations, including the Association of Islamic Collaboration, Muslim World Association, Bedouin Parliament and Bay Participation Chamber, likewise gave proclamations emphatically reprimanding the occurrence, alongside Pakistan, Jordan, Turkiye and Oman.
