The Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs (SCIA) strongly condemned attempts to insult Prophet Mohammed, and categorical rejected any reference to Muslim symbols and sanctities to serve narrow agendas. In a statement, the council said the defamation of prophets and his messengers reflects racism, hatred, extremism, violence and conflict, and undermines efforts to achieve coexistence and peace among people.

It emphasized that provoking people and denigrating their sanctities and beliefs are unacceptable methods that cannot be tolerated. The SCIA called for a serious, clear and urgent stance by all advocates of peace to preserve community security, respect religion, and protect people from falling into conflicts.
