The Muslim World League (MWL) has condemned - in a strongly worded statement - the crime of burning a copy of the Holy Quran, by extremists in Copenhagen, the Danish capital.
The statement condemned these practices, describing them as heinous and absurd and violate all religious and humanitarian norms and principles and clash with the values of the international community which recently warned about the perils of these practices, and clearly declared its rejection of all manifestations of "Islamophobia", incitement, and hatred against Islam and Muslims.
The statement renewed the warning of the dangers of practices that stimulate hatred and stir up religious feelings, which only serve the agendas of extremists, leading to the goals of their malevolent ideology.
"At a time when our world hopes to work to strengthen friendship among nations and peoples, we find these criminal acts working to obstruct and hinder our progress, only to satisfy the hatred of the haters of the haters, who were, in the past, the nucleus of evil in painful struggles," the statement said.
