News - Yemen: The Leader of the Revolution has urged Muslim countries to take a categorical position against desecration of their sanctities, especially sacrilegious acts against the Holy Quran.

Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi made the remarks in a televised speech on Saturday following recurrent cases of insult to Muslims’ holy book in Sweden and Denmark.

“The Western governments oppose any criticism and slogan against Zionists and this issue proves the influence of pro-Israeli lobbies within those governments," the Leader said.

He also strongly slammed some Arab and Muslim countries for refraining from cutting ties with countries where the Quran was insulted, saying their positions prove that they do not really care about Islam.

“These [apparently Muslim] rulers prove that they lack necessary ability and qualification to shoulder this responsibility and cannot be trusted by the [Muslim] Ummah when it comes to defending their sanctities,” Sayyed Abdulmalik said.

He also censured “many Islamic organizations that have not severed diplomatic and economic relations with countries where Islam has been insulted,” noting that this proves the weakness of the Muslim world and “the low level of our commitment to defending Islam.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader said the powerful Zionist lobby is active within the Western governments and provokes Europeans against Islam and Muslims.

“Western societies are submissive to Zionists and we are responsible for taking position against the plots hatched by the enemies of Islam,” he added.

Sayyed Abdulmalik emphasized that Muslims must take categorical and powerful positions vis-à-vis Zionist lobbies in the world as well as the US and Israel, and all those who agree to their hostile moves against the divine prophets.
