Pakistan
Heinous conduct had been repeated more than once in Sweden, says Fazlur Rehman
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday made it clear that the desecration of the Holy Quran was not acceptable.
Expressing his thoughts, Fazl said: "The heinous conduct had been repeated more than once in Sweden. This despicable act is seen as a war against the Muslim world".
"We respect all sacred books. For the purpose of protecting the sanctity of Holy Quran, we should not hesitate to sacrifice our lives", Fazl said.

"We will continue our effort until the Muslim world withdraws its ambassadors from Sweden. We will protest on Friday if the Muslim world does not withdraw its envoys from Sweden", Fazl added.
Earlier this month, Fazl said, "The sacrilege in Sweden has hurt Muslims' feelings all across the world. This heinous act appears to be an attempt to undermine efforts to uphold international peace".
"I want to urge the global community to work towards bringing the extremists to justice," maintained Fazl.
