The Foreign Ministry on Saturday expressed Kuwait's strong condemnation of the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran by extremists in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.
This provocative act deepens hatred sentiments, fuels extremism, and offends Muslims worldwide, the ministry cautioned in a statement.
It urged the Danish government to reveal motives of this disgraceful act and to take all necessary legal actions to stop such irresponsible acts and behavior that offends the symbols and sanctities of Muslims.
The Foreign Ministry called on the Danish government to move to avoid the recurrence of such acts and to bring perpetrators to accountability.
It argued that the freedom of expression should not be used to insult Islam and all heavenly religions.
The ministry called on the international community to garner efforts to counter such shameful acts through enacting laws that criminalize offending religions and to promote adherence to relevant international conventions and resolutions, including the recent UN Human Rights Council's resolution on countering religious hatred.
