According to its official website, “The OIC Secretary-General warns that this provocative action which has been committed repeatedly by far-right extremists targets Muslims, insults their sacred values, and serves as further example of the alarming level reached by Islamophobia, hate, intolerance, and xenophobia.”
“The OIC Secretary-General urges the Swedish authorities to take necessary measures against the perpetrators of this hate crime.”
“He calls for increased international efforts to prevent re-occurrence of such acts and for solidarity to fight Islamophobia.”
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani said that some European countries, under trumped-up allegations, are allowing extremist groups to spread hatred against Islamic values and sanctities. He noted that these countries are institutionalizing anti-Islamism and Islamophobia in their societies in spite of their beautiful human rights slogans.
Such measures have nothing to do with the freedom of expression and opinion, he added.
The public opinion of the Muslim world expects the Swedish Government to prevent repetition of such anti-Islamism acts and not let those hurting the feelings of Muslims go unpunished, he noted.
