ISLAMABAD – Pakistan has joined other Islamic nations to strongly condemn the recent attack on Islam’s holy book Quran in the Netherlands. Pakistan also called on world leaders to raise a collective voice against Islamophobia and stressed a united effort for peaceful coexistence. Afghanistan, Turkiye, Qatar, and some other Muslim nations also denounced the Islamophobic act. The second sacrilegious act was committed by a Dutch far-right group leader who desecrated a copy of Islam’s holy book in a Northwestern European nation. Earlier, the same hate crime was committed by Sweden’s far-right politician Rasmus Paludan in Stockholm.
