LAHORE - The Jamaat-e-Islami and worldwide Islamic move­ments jointly marked “con­demnation day” on Friday in Pakistan and other coun­tries besides Bangladesh, Malaysia, Lebanon, South Africa, Turkey against the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden and Is­lamophobia. JI Emir Sirajul Haq delivered a speech at Man­soorah and also addressed a public gathering in Jhang. He said an organized campaign had been started against Islam and its follow­ers in Western countries af­ter 9/11. The most unfortunate as­pect of the Sweden incident, he said, was that the Sweden authorities allowed a per­son to burn the Quran under their protection. The JI chief also condemned the Israeli forces’ brutal action and terrorism against Palestin­ian Muslims and expressed solidarity with the Palestine freedom movement.
