Quran Desecration Aimed at Dividing Muslims, Christians: Pakistan PM
“We should take all legal and political steps to make the mischief of this mischievous person [who desecrate Holy Quran] should be made an example of,” Shehbaz Sharif said during a joint session of Parliament in Islamabad convened to register a protest over the incident on Thursday.
Last week, a man desecrated a copy of the Holy Quran outside Stockholm’s central mosque after the country’s court and police authorities gave him such permission.
It was widely condemned by the world and protests were organized in many Muslim countries, demanding the West to discourage Islamophobia.
The Pakistani premier was of the view that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation was the best forum for raising voice against such incidents.
In its meeting on July 2, the Islamic grouping of 57 states called for collective measures to prevent acts of desecration of the Quran and international law should be used to stop religious hatred.
Shehbaz added that the whole Muslim world has to raise voice against such acts and unanimously condemn it.
“We have to warn that if anyone did such an act then they should not complain to us.”
