Kuwaiti Cabinet Urges Int’l Action against Desecration of Islamic Sanctities
During its meeting on Tuesday, the Arab country’s government urged the international community to take measures to prevent hate-mongering, spread of animosity against religions and desecration of Islamic sanctities under the pretext of freedom of expression.
Last week, two men stood outside the Swedish capital of Stockholm’s central mosque and burned a copy of the holy book following a go-ahead given to them by a Swedish court.
The repeated and state-authorized instance of sacrilege against the Muslim holy book was made to coincide with the Muslim festivity of Eid al-Adha (Feast of Sacrifice), which marks the conclusion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage that is partaken by millions of Muslims from across the world.
The act of desecration has opened the floodgates of protest across the Muslim world.
During the Tuesday meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, Kuwait’s cabinet of ministers also denounced the Zionist regime’s recent deadly raids on the West Bank city of Jenin.
The Kuwaiti cabinet stressed the need for prompt intervention by the international community and the United Nations Security Council to put an end to such raids and support the Palestinian people in accordance with international laws.
