PETALING JAYA: Malaysia strongly condemns the provocative action of Rasmus Paludan, leader of Denmark's far-right Stram Kurs, for burning a copy of the Holy Quran in Stockholm, Sweden.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the Islamophobic act of the extremist Swedish-Danish far-right politician was a grave provocation to Muslims all over the world.
"Such a blatant defilement of Islam’s Holy Book by the politician and the government's inaction are tantamount to fomenting Islamophobia and constitutes a grave provocation to the sensitivities of not just Turkiye, but more than two billion Muslims in the world. "Malaysia also views with grave concern the rising tide of hate speech on account of faith or ethnicity," he said in a statement Sunday .
He also called on the international community to reject race or religious baiting under the guise of freedom of expression and to remain united against all forms of incitement to hate and violence.
