Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on Friday voiced Kuwait’s emphatic condemnation and denunciation of the insulting of the Holy Quran by an extremist for the second time in Sweden.
The minister, in a press statement, warned that such repeated practices would provoke the sentiments of Muslims, especially as they coincide with their celebration of New Hijri Year.
He also held the Swedish side fully responsible for the rampancy of such acts that fuel the discourses of hatred against Muslims and incite violence, especially as this incident was repeated by the same person within a short period of time.
In the light of this condemnable act, Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah underlined that the State of Kuwait was currently consulting and coordinating with Gulf, Arab and Muslim countries to convene an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in a bid to take concrete and practical steps to thwart the recurrence of such unacceptable acts.
The minister, further, called upon the international community to decry the discourse of hatred, exert efforts to establish the values of tolerance and respect of religions, and to enact laws and legislation that denounce and prohibit blasphemy.
