MAKKAH: The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques issued a statement on Monday condemning the insulting statements made by the spokesperson of the Indian Bhartiya Janta Party against the Prophet Muhammad (May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him).
The Statement said: “The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque denounced in the name of the President and in the name of preachers, imams, scholars and employees of the Presidency the offensive statements and drawings of the Holy Prophet, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him.“
The statement further said: “It is stressed that such a heinous act does not represent respect for religions, and that those who did such an act did not read in the biography of the Prophet, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, for it is better than trampling on the earth, and the light of humanity, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, and the mercy that is bestowed upon the worlds.
The statement affirmed the Kingdom’s position calling for respecting beliefs and religions, spreading peace among all, and not violating the symbols of the Islamic religion.
