NEW YORK: Quran burnings that have taken place in several countries are nothing but clear Islamophobic acts intended to incite hatred, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said on Friday (Sept 22).
He said inaction in the face of such blatant provocation to a religion is simply irresponsible and sends a dangerous message to humanity.
"This is manifested in an alarming trend of hatred, intolerance, and acts of violence against Muslims and their sanctities,” he said. The Prime Minister, clad in light blue Baju Melayu complete with a gold-threaded sampin, said the world must embody the values of acceptance, tolerance, and mutual respect, as well as promote inter-cultural, inter-civilisation, and inter-religious understanding and cooperation.
"These are indeed tall orders but that is the very reason we are here. I truly believe that no challenge, however formidable, is insurmountable if we secure the collective commitment of this global community, the member states of this august institution.
