Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman has expressed its strong condemnation of granting permits to extremists in Sweden to burn and desecrate copies of the Holy Quran.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Sultanate of Oman's strong condemnation of the repeated granting of permits and protection by the competent authorities in Sweden to extremists to burn and desecrate copies of the Holy Qur'an, and its strong condemnation of these provocative acts against the feelings and sanctities of Muslims and the incitement to violence and hatred.
The Sultanate of Oman calls on the international community to take a firmer stance by criminalising all acts that incite hatred and conflict between religions and cultures and offend laws and beliefs, stressing the importance of promoting a culture and values of peaceful coexistence and tolerance among all members of societies of different religions and cultures, and promoting international understanding and cooperation in order to build a world of peace and mutual respect.
