During a meeting in Istanbul, the International Union called on the "United Nations to take appropriate action, considering that these insults towards Muslim sanctities threaten international peace."
On Saturday, the International Union of Muslim Scholars called on the United Nations for constructive cooperation to reach an "International Charter to Prevent the Defamation of Religions."
This came in a final statement issued after the "Global Meeting on Repeated Offenses to Islamic Sanctities" organized by the Union in Istanbul, Turkey, in cooperation with scholarly institutions, parliamentary and human rights organizations, and media institutions.
On Friday, the Union called for a global meeting in Istanbul to discuss "addressing the recurring severe insults to the Islamic nation through the burning of the Holy Quran in Sweden, offensive cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Denmark and France, the desecration of Al-Aqsa, the killing of innocents and the destruction of their homes in Jerusalem and Palestine."
The final statement called on the "United Nations to take appropriate action considering that these insults towards Muslim sanctities threaten international peace, and for constructive cooperation to reach an International Charter to Prevent the Defamation of Religions."
It also called on the "Organization of Islamic Cooperation to hold a conference on these insults to our sanctities to reach a strategic plan that includes effective tools and means to prevent their recurrence, and to invite Islamic governments to hold a meeting among themselves, or the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Western governments that allow the insult of our sanctities, to clarify the risks and consequences resulting from them."
The statement called for "investing in international, economic, and political relations to introduce Islam and make this a strategic goal for Islamic countries, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and allowing peaceful, civilized demonstrations in front of embassies and related entities."
It also called for "protecting the Al-Aqsa Mosque and liberating all occupied lands, by all legitimate means."
On Friday, a Danish right-wing extremist group opposing Islam, calling itself "Danske Patrioter" (Danish Patriots), burned a copy of the Holy Quran in front of the Iraqi embassy in the capital Copenhagen.
It should be noted that the group previously attacked the Holy Quran and the Turkish flag in front of Ankara's embassy in Copenhagen.
On Thursday, a man named Slovan Momika tore up a copy of the Quran and the Iraqi flag in front of the Iraqi embassy in Sweden, in an incident that was the second of its kind by the same person after the first in late June, after Swedish authorities allowed him to target Muslim sanctities.
