'Deeply offensive': Pakistan strongly condemns desecration of Holy Quran in Netherlands
|
 [GEO.TV] The Foreign Office on Saturday strongly condemned another "provocative and deeply offensive act" of the desecration of the Holy Koran in The Hague — the site of the royal palace and the de facto capital of the Netherlands and also the seat of the International Court of Justice.
The condemnation comes a day after a Dutch far-right activist tore up a copy of the Koran at a demonstration outside the Ottoman Turkish embassy in The Hague on Friday.
In a statement issued today, the FO said that "this deliberate Islamophobic act deeply hurts the feelings of two billion Moslems around the world, and threatens peaceful coexistence and inter-religious harmony".
"Such offensive acts cannot be covered under legitimate freedom of expression, opinion and protest. International law obliges states to prevent and prohibit deliberate incitement to hatred, discrimination and violence on the basis of religion or belief," added the statement.
The FO also said that Pakistain believes that freedom of expression comes with responsibilities, adding that it is the responsibility of national governments and the international community on the lam to prevent racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic acts.
