OIC condemns the burning of copies of Holy Qur'an during Anti-Muslim demonstrations in Sweden
Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hissein Brahim Taha, has condemned the burning of copies of the Holy Qur'an during anti-Muslim demonstrations in Linköping, Norrköping, and other cities in Sweden.
The rallies, which were organized by the Danish Right-Wing Party Stram Kurs, further substantiated the Muslim World’s concerns about the alarming trend of Islamophobia perpetrated by extreme-right supporters.
Brahim said that the event was a clear manifestation of the racist and xenophobic mindset of the organizers and that their action went against all accepted norms and values of civilized society.
He reiterated his conviction that the provocative event does not reflect the views of the majority of Swedish and European citizens. (ILKHA)
