Protest demonstrations were held across the country on appeal of Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Senator Sirajul Haq to condemn the desecration of Holy Quran in Norway.
A large number of people from all walks of life attended the protests in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta and other cities, demanding strict actions against the person who tried to burn the copy of Holy Quran and laws to stop such acts in future.
JI Secretary General Ameerul Azim led the protest in front of Mansoora and showered praises for the young Muslim who interrupted the attempt through his brave act. He said Islam phobia was on the rise in the West and it was tantamount to destroying the world peace. He said anti-Islam extremists must understand that every Muslim in the world was ready to sacrifice his/her life to protect the sanctity of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Holy Quran.
He said enemies of Muslims were afraid of popularity of Islam and hatching conspiracies to prevent the message of Islam which was a religion of peace and brotherhood. He said conspiracies against Islam would never succeed. He demanded the Muslim rulers to file cases in their respective countries against the persons involved in anti-Islam rally. He said Pakistani government should immediately take up the matter at all international forums including the UNO. He thanked the people of Norway who expressed solidarity with the Muslims and held protests against the incident. JI Naib Emir Abdul Ghaffar Aziz and JI Lahore chapter chief Zikrullah Mujahid also addressed the participants.
