The Cairo-based bloc's Secretary-General Ahmad Abul-Gheit said, in a press release, that he had previously sounded the alarm about Swedish authorities' authorization of such provocative acts that would only lead to fanning out discourse of hatred.
He also recalled that Sweden, in a similar step, had permitted an extremist to burn the Iraqi flag in an act that had angered the Iraqi people.
Abul-Gheit cautioned that resilience in response to this discourse of hatred and extremism has nothing to do whatsoever with the freedom of opinion and expression, or tolerance.
