Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jassim Mohammed Albudaiwi, strongly condemned the continued provocations against Muslims, and the desecration of another copy of the Noble Qur’an in the Swedish capital Stockholm.

“These disgraceful and unacceptable acts provoke the feelings of Muslims all over the world”, he said, urging the Swedish authorities to take immediate and serious action to stop these behaviors and hold extremists accountable.

“These heinous acts of incitement which are contrary to the principles of tolerance and freedom of religion are indicative of hatred, hatred and extremism”, he added.

Albudaiwi also referred to the emergency session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which was convened last week, and the resolution issued by it to condemn acts of religious hatred.

He stressed the importance of activating this resolution, urging all countries and international organizations to take joint action to prevent these irresponsible acts and address them by all legal means, in accordance with international laws, treaties and norms that protect and preserve religions.
