Pakistan strongly condemned yet another “abhorrent” act of desecration of the Holy Quran in Denmark, calling it the manifestation of growing hatred and Islamophobia.
Al Arabiya reported that Rasmus Paludan, a far-right activist who holds both Danish and Swedish citizenship, had already infuriated the Muslim world by staging a Quran-burning protest in Sweden on January 21.
On Friday, Paludan replicated the stunt in front of a mosque as well as the Turkish Embassy in Copenhagen and vowed to continue every Friday until Sweden is admitted into NATO.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said in a statement, “The recurrence of such wilful and vile acts is a troubling manifestation of growing hatred, racism and phobia against Muslims and their faith.”
