Hours after the tweet of Oman’s Grand Mufti calling for the boycott of Indian products in the middle eastern countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar summoned the Indian ambassador and handed him an official noting Qatar’s total rejection and condemnation of the remarks of an official in the ruling party (BJP) in India against Prophet Muhammad.
Soltan bin Saad AI-Muraikhi, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of the State, handed this note to the Ambassador of the Republic of India.
“The State of Qatar welcomed the statement issued by the ruling party in India in which it announced the suspension of the party’s official from practicing his activities in the party due to his remarks that angered all Muslims around the world,” the official communique handed over to the Indian side read, adding, “Noting that the State of Qatar is expecting a public apology and immediate condemnation of these remarks from the Government of India, pointing out that allowing such Islamophobic remarks to continue without punishment, constitutes a grave danger to the protection of human rights and may lead to further prejudice and marginalization, which will create a cycle of violence and hate.”
The note indicated that more than two billion Muslims across the world follow the guidance of Prophet Mohammed (may blessings and peace be upon him (, whose message came as a message of peace, understanding and tolerance, and a beacon of light that Muslims all over the world follow.
The State of Qatar affirmed that these insulting remakes would lead to incitement of religious hatred, and offend more than two billion Muslims around the world, and indicate the clear ignorance of the pivotal role that Islam has played in the development of civilizations around the world, including in India.
The State of Qatar reaffirmed its full support for the values of tolerance, coexistence and respect for all religions and nationalities, where such as these values distinguish Qatar’s global friendships and its relentless work to contribute to the establishment of international peace and security.
Pertinently Indian ruling Party BJPs spokesperson had made abusive and insulting remarks against Muhammad- the last messenger of Islam.
