Muslim World League calls for UN interventions against disdaining religions
RIYADH, Jan 28 (KUNA) -- Muslim World League (MWL) called Saturday on the
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to activate international laws against
insolence of religions.
MWL Secretary General Dr Abdullah Al-Turki condemned, in a letter addressed
to Annan, the discretion of Prophet Mohammed (PBU) by Danish and Norwegian
newspapers, which published cartoon depicting the Prophet in a disrespectful
way.
Al-Turki said in the letter that Muslims around the world felt very
offended by the unethical campaign, noting that international laws prohibited
scorning religions and other hatred-provoking practices.
He stressed that UN should intervene to stop media campaigns against Islam,
which might ignite clashes between different cultures.
Moreover, he called on Annan to immediately and directly contact the Danish
and Norwegian governments to demand them to ban media campaigns against Islam
and to officially apologize for the Muslim nation.
Al-Turki also called on the international community to adopt a clear law
criminalizing individuals and institutions that disrespect religions. (end)
