Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its strong condemnation regarding the distressing incident of a Holy Quran copy being set alight by a Swedish extremist in front of a mosque in Stockholm.

In a statement, the Ministry stated that this provocative act deeply offends Muslims worldwide. The State of Kuwait emphasizes the importance for the international community and all concerned nations to fulfill their responsibility in combatting hatred and religious extremism. Furthermore, they must take decisive actions to prevent hostile acts targeting the sanctity of Islam and any other holy faith.

The Ministry highlighted the need to hold the perpetrators of such hostile acts accountable and to prevent them from exploiting the principles of freedom to justify their hostility towards Islam or any other sacred religion. It urged the promotion of values such as tolerance and coexistence among individuals from diverse faith backgrounds.

Let us unite in our commitment to foster an environment of respect, understanding, and peaceful coexistence, rejecting all forms of religious intolerance and extremism. Together, we can build a world that embraces diversity and upholds the sanctity of all religious beliefs.
