Saudi Arabia is trying to take practical steps around the world to stop the desecration of the Qur'an from happening again.
At the OIC headquarters on Sunday, an emergency meeting of the OIC executive committee was called to talk about burning the Koran.
JEDDAH — When the Holy Quran was burned in Sweden, Saudi Arabia strongly criticised and condemned the act. The Kingdom asked the rest of the world to fight these kinds of things that make people angry and to take effective steps to stop them from happening again.
Dr. Saleh Al-Suhaibani, who is Saudi Arabia's permanent representative to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), made this request at an emergency meeting of the OIC Executive Committee on Sunday at the OIC headquarters. The problem was discussed at the meeting. The Qur'an was burned.
Dr. Al-Suhaibani, who was in charge of the meeting, was very angry about what happened on Wednesday, the first day of the Eid prayer. On June 28, an Iraqi refugee named Salwan Momika burned a copy of the Holy Quran in front of the main mosque in Stockholm, Sweden's capital.
Saudi Arabia, which is in charge of the Pan-Islamic Organisation, which is made up of 57 Muslim countries, asked for the OIC meeting to be held so they could talk about what should be done about the burning of the Holy Quran.
The OIC meeting denounced the action, saying that it hurts people's ability to respect each other and hurts the world's efforts to make people more tolerant and equal. In his speech, Hissein Brahim Taha, the secretary general of the OIC, asked the member countries to work together and take steps to make sure that similar things don't happen again.
In his speech, Al-Suhaibani said that the Kingdom strongly opposes the bad things that are happening and that these bad things can't be justified by any proof. These things clearly lead to hatred, discrimination, and racism, and they go against the laws of God and all the advice of international agreements that call for harmony, peace, and coming together.
"This inner work has happened at the same time that Muslims all over the world are enjoying Eid prayers and happy times that contain wonderful images of unity and solidarity for the benefit of humanity, and looking for peace and quiet, and at the ceremony. at the same time that God's mouth is doing Hajj to build bonds of friendship and unity. It is sad to say that this kind of act of hate and bad behaviour has happened for the fourth time in a row in a country that is thought to be civilised. He said that while trying to explain it. The event has a big impact on Islam and has upset millions of Muslims all over the world.
These efforts to disrespect the Holy Qur'an are based on a false idea of freedom of speech and expression, which goes against the Action plan and goes against the spirit of Articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. He said that, based on the international agreement that had been passed and the Human Rights Committee's resolution 16/18, which fought against inciting hatred and discrimination based on faith or ideology, this was the right thing to do.
The Saudi Arabian delegate said again that such actions go against international efforts to spread the values of tolerance, reject extremism, and weaken the principles of mutual respect, which are needed to keep good relationships between nations and countries. In this case, the Kingdom stressed how important it was for the international community and the OIC to take effective steps to stop these kinds of things, which go against human values and morals, from happening again. He said that these kinds of physical activities will not only lead to extremism, but they will also spread hate and violence and cause fights and bad behaviour at a time when people need to know each other and be close. one another
Al-Suhaibani said that it was these countries' job to stop calls for revolt and hatred from happening again and to fight these acts of incitement with strength. Also, he emphasised how important it was for nations to have the same ideas about how important peace and tolerance are, and how important it was to improve ways for nations to talk to each other based on the decisions of the United Nations, especially the resolutions of the United Nations. 66/167 based on the fact that the best way to deal with hate speech, bigotry, and bigotry is to share good human values and principles.
Al-Suhaibani said that Saudi Arabia hopes that the other countries in the OIC will help the organisation that watches out for things that are bad for Islam and back it in every way so that it can do its job well. He also asked the offices of the OIC in the countries where
