Joint
Statement
We
were informed, with great sorrow and aversion of the shameful pictures and words
used lately by the Danish mass media against Islam. A matter considered as a
gross attack on the Muslim beliefs and a provocation of their religious feelings
and violation of their deep-rooted traditions.
While
we strongly condemn these senseless violations, we stress that such devious
actions are an evil source for feeding of the phenomenon of world terrorism, and
a subversive horn of establishing culture of the conflict among followers of
religions, cultures and civilizations. As well as it is an atrocious manner for
planting essence of enmity and hatred among people, which contradict the
required tolerance from the followers of religions according to the heavenly
books, and also contradict with our method in fixing culture of dialogue,
tolerance and mutual respect which is backed and encouraged by many world
religious, cultural and political organizations for realizing mutual knowledge,
understanding and working together to spread the culture of love, justice, peace
and safe coexistence in societies and among people of religions, cultures and
civilizations.
Hence, we call upon the respected Danish government and upon the related responsible institutions to question, punish the agencies which instigated this reckless religious discord and ask them to apologize to Muslims and promise not to repeat such irresponsible actions.
