Muslim Scholars Union Calls For Law To Ban Insults Against Religions
The International Union for Muslim Scholars has called for enacting a law to ban insults against religions and sanctities.
The Qatar-based group said it will dispatch a delegation of Muslim scholars to Islamic countries for talks on the rise of insults targeting Islam.
The union said it will ask the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the United Nations to push for drafting legislation to ban insults against religious sanctities.
Anger has been rising within the Islamic world over comments made by a spokesperson for India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party against Prophet Muhammad last month.
The incident prompted Qatar, Kuwait and Iran to summon the Indian envoys to protest insults against the prophet.
