Islamabad : Pakistan Wednesday strongly condemned the republication of sacrilegious cartoons in the Danish newspapers and said that it has deeply offended Muslims feelings and sentiments across the world.
“No civilized society should allow disrespect of the belief system of other communities”, said foreign office in a statement.
Such acts incited the already growing Islamophobia in Europe and undermined the efforts being carried out by the groups that were trying to bridge the gap between civilizations, it added.
“We expect that the Western countries should equally be sensitive to respecting the feelings of Muslims and should not allow insult under the guise of freedom of expression”, said the statement.
Also, the Senate, the upper house of parliament, Tuesday passed a resolution that condemned in strongest terms the republication and termed all these efforts as part of a campaign aimed at denigrating Islam, insulting Islamic role models and injuring the feelings of the Muslims across the world.
