The State of Qatar Condemns Attacks on the Holy Quran in Sweden
The State of Qatar has expressed its strong displeasure and condemnation of the repeated permitting of attacks on the Holy Quran in the Kingdom of Sweden. The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden, Gautam S. Bhattacharya, has been summoned to present him with a note of protest asking the Swedish authorities to take all necessary measures to stop these outrageous practices.
Failure to Stop Religious Discrimination
Despite the repeated condemnation of Arab and Islamic countries, as well as the international community, the Swedish authorities have failed to stop the practice of expressing hatred and religious discrimination. This has even led to a Human Rights Council resolution condemning acts of religious hatred. The State of Qatar strongly criticizes the Swedish authorities for their inaction.
Incitement of Hatred and Violence
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar has emphasized that allowing repeated violations of the Holy Quran under the pretext of freedom of expression incites hatred and violence. Such actions threaten the values of peaceful coexistence and demonstrate abhorrent double standards. It is essential that the Swedish authorities take immediate action to prevent further attacks on the Holy Quran and protect the sanctity of the true Islamic religion.
Support for Tolerance and Coexistence
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar reaffirms the full support of the State of Qatar for the values of tolerance and coexistence. Qatar is committed to establishing the principles of international peace and security through dialogue and mutual understanding. It calls upon the Swedish authorities to uphold these values and take necessary measures to ensure the protection of religious freedoms and respect for all religions.
It is crucial that all nations work together to promote religious harmony, understanding, and respect. The State of Qatar urges the international community to unite against religious discrimination and uphold the principles of freedom of religion and expression.
