(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - They described the desecration as a terrible sin that has hurt the feelings of Muslims all over the world. The statement, that was issued by Morocco’s Supreme Council of Muslim Scholars, said the sacrilegious act has been committed against a book that invites people to peace and goodness.

"Such provocative acts will not make Muslims renounce Islamic values that are based in the teachings of the Quran,” the scholars stressed.

They called on people of wisdom and thought in the US and other countries to maintain solidarity against different forms of religious extremism and against desecration of religious values.

Morocco’s Supreme Council of Muslim Scholars is the top religious authority in the country which is presided over by King Muhammad VI.
