Iranian Embassy - London: News: Danish FM condemns blasphemy of holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)

Iran-Blasphemy-Denmark
Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller in a phone conversation with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki here Tuesday strongly condemned the blasphemy of the Islamic Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) by a group of Danish youth.

According to a report released by the Media Department of the Foreign Ministry, Moeller underlined that the move has also been condemned by Denmark’s prime minister in a statement issued on Sunday.

He said that the desecration took place by some members of the youth wing of the Danish People’s Party and condemned such an unacceptable and inappropriate approach.

For his part, Mottaki welcomed such condemnation of the blasphemy by Danish prime minister and foreign minister and underlined that all faithful Iranian people and students are furious over the desecration, particularly given this is the second time that Muslims’ most sacred beliefs are blasphemed.

The Iranian minister stressed the sensitivity of the issue and warned Denmark against its consequences, adding that some Zionist associations are involved in anti-Islam instigation.

Mottaki called on his Danish counterpart to do his best to stop such insulting provocations.

Denmark’s national TV2 channel last Friday broadcast excerpts from a video lampooning Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

The Danish press had previously published blasphemous cartoons against the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), which sparked worldwide protests against the sacrilege.
