ISESCO Launches Campaign in Reaction to Quran Desecrations
The organization’s director general, Salim bin Mohammed Al Malik, unveiled the initiative, dubbed “Read to Understand It”, at the opening ceremony of an international conference in Rabat, Morocco.
He said that with its comprehensiveness, precision and seriousness, the campaign is a positive response to dishonorable acts of sacrilege against Islamic sanctities.
Scholars and university professors from various Muslim countries took part in the conference to discuss framing freedoms based on Islamic values and international law.
Muslim World League Secretary General Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Issa was one of the speakers at the event.
He stressed that freedom cannot be without laws and limits. He also underlined that Islam guarantees freedoms and rights.
In recent weeks, Quran desecrations in a number of European countries, including Sweden and Denmark, with government permission and police protection have drawn widespread anger and condemnations from the Muslim world.
The Nordic countries allow the blasphemies to happen under the guise of the so-called freedom of speech despite wide condemnations from Muslim and non-Muslim states and even in the face of a UN Human Rights Council resolution against acts of sacrilege.
