(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - In a letter on Wednesday, the mission called on Pakistan, as the OIC coordinator on human rights and humanitarian issues, to issue a strong statement in condemnation of the desecration.
On April 29, a radical American pastor, Terry Jones, who on the anniversary of 9/11 attacks last year had burnt copies of the Quran, repeated his act at a Florida church.
The letter also urged the OIC to immediately put collective efforts on its agenda in order to counter such measures and prevent their repeat in the future.
The mission further issued a press statement condemning the move and said it would definitely trigger religious outrage among Muslims across the world.
It added that the US government bears a heavy responsibility to prevent such extremist actions.
The international community expects the US government to show a swift and clear reaction to perpetrators of such moves and to take practical steps to prevent such cultural crimes, the statement said.
