Singapore, 2008 Apr 1, IRIB
Singapore's top Islamic body on Tuesday condemned a blasphemous video produced by a Dutch lawmaker for seeking to incite hatred and distort verses from the Holy Quran.
"The video aims to incite hatred of Muslim immigrants among Europeans by including acts of violence that were committed by radicals," the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore said in a statement.
"It intentionally distorts verses from the Holy Quran in order to create fear of Muslims."
Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng last week described the video as offensive and regrettable.
He said that freedom of expression did not give anyone licence to insult another's religion.
Nearly 15 per cent of Singapore's population are Muslims.
