Three Arab countries condemned the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran in Denmark on Friday, describing it as an "inciting act and a dangerous provocation of the feelings of Muslims during the month of Ramadan."

In its statement, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry described the incident as "an unacceptable inflammatory and racist act that provokes the feelings of Muslims, especially in the holy month of Ramadan."

And it considered that "burning the Holy Qur'an is an act of dangerous hate, and a manifestation of Islamophobia that incites violence and insults to religions."

And she warned that "allowing repeated violations of the Holy Qur'an under the pretext of freedom of expression fuels hatred and violence, threatens the values ​​of peaceful coexistence, and reveals abhorrent double standards."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated "Qatar's total rejection of all forms of hate speech based on belief, race or religion, and the involvement of sanctities in political disputes."

It also warned that "campaigns of hatred against Islam and the discourse of Islamophobia have witnessed a dangerous escalation with the continued systematic calls for the repeated targeting of Muslims in the world."

The Qatari Foreign Ministry called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities to reject hatred, discrimination, incitement and violence, and stressed the importance of upholding the principles of dialogue and mutual understanding.

She stressed Qatar's full support for the values ​​of tolerance and coexistence, and its keenness to establish the principles of international peace and security through dialogue and understanding.
