Pakistan also called into question the legal framework behind which the Islamophobes hide and spread hatred with impunity.
“At a time when there was an increasing need for inter-faith harmony and mutual respect for peaceful coexistence, the international community could not turn a blind eye to these hate-mongers,” she added.
She said Pakistan’s concerns are being conveyed to the authorities in Denmark.
“Pakistan also believes that it is the responsibility of the national governments as well as the international community to prevent these racist and Islamophobic acts”, the spokesperson said.
Earlier, Pakistan’s upper house adopted a unanimous resolution to condemn the vile act of desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden and the Netherlands which has hurt the religious sentiments of 1.5 billion Muslims around the globe.
