The fact that the culture of hate can spread and return countries to the time of divisions and fragmentation, severing relations and missing opportunities for communication and integration.
The crime of burning the Holy Qur’an at the hands of a reckless refugee residing in Sweden was nothing but a nucleus of evil, and a trap to lure reckless people adopted by extremist fronts through which they want to stoke the embers of terrorism and violence, and go to exploit riots and sabotage in justifying the right-wing orientation to expel Arabs and Muslims from Western countries.
Our country has always emphasized the necessity of consolidating the values of dialogue, tolerance and respect, and rejecting everything that would spread hatred, extremism and exclusion, by curbing the repeated provocations issued by the same extremist right-wing individuals and groups under the pretext of freedom of expression, while it transgresses the freedoms of expression and abuses the concept of freedoms and their human values; It spreads hatred and intolerance against Islam and Muslims, and provokes their feelings. The dangers of such hateful practices and provoking religious feelings will not be lost on the wise and wise, who are well aware that these agendas only serve the mentalities of extremism, which distort the voice of reason and efforts to promote dialogue and harmony among followers of religions. This requires realizing the dangers of these barbaric and irresponsible practices, and taking swift and firm measures to confront them and holding the perpetrators accountable.
