The Jordanian Foreign Ministry on Saturday denounced the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran by extremists in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, on Friday.
The ministry said, in a press release, that this marks an act of hatred and Islamophobia that incites violence and disrespects religions.
It underlined its disapproval and condemnation of these irresponsible acts and behavior that provoke Muslims’ sentiments, fuel hatred and put peaceful coexistence into jeopardy.
The ministry, further, emphasized that the recurrence of such racist acts and behavior requires the international community to muster efforts to address and prevent them and to enact laws that criminalize and ban the desecration of religious symbols and sanctities.
