The official spokesman for the ministry,
Haitham Abu Al-Ful, said that this act is condemned and rejected as it contradicts all
religious values and principles, human rights principles, and basic freedoms,
as well as it fuels feelings of hatred and violence and threatens peaceful
coexistence.
The spokesperson added that there is a collective
responsibility in spreading and promoting a culture of peace and acceptance of
the other, raising awareness of common values, and enriching the values of
harmony and tolerance, and rejecting extremism, fanaticism, and incitement to
hatred based on religion or belief.
Abu Al-Ful stressed the need to reject violence in
all its forms, and to resort to peaceful methods of expressing opinion without
provoking strife or hurting people’s feelings.
