Dhaka Raps Repetition of Quran Desecration in Europe

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Bangladesh voiced concerns over recurrence of acts of Quran desecration in Europe, strongly denouncing the recent abhorrent act of desecrating a copy of the Holy Quran in the Netherlands.

Bangladesh expressed "grave concern" over repetition of such heinous act in the Netherlands within a month's time in the name of "right to protest", "freedom of expression" or "human rights".

Bangladesh once again urged all concerned to put an end to such unwarranted provocations and to respect the sacred values and religious symbols of the Muslims - for that matter of all religions - for the sake of harmony and peaceful coexistence.

Desecration of Islamic sanctities in a number of European countries like Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark and France in recent weeks has drawn widespread condemnation from the Muslim world.
