The General Mufti and the Chairman of the Supreme Council of Ulema (Muslim Scholars) and the Department of Scientific Researches and Ifta, Sheikh Abdulaziz Al Al-Sheikh, strongly condemned last night what has been reported by the U.S "Newsweek" magazine and circulated by information media about the desecration of copies of the Holy Quran, tearing down its pages and trampling it down in a military prison at Guantanmu Bay, Cuba. In a statement issued by him, Al Al-Sheikh said "the Holy Quran is the most sacred divine book for Muslims and has the greatest honor and respect among Muslims". He condemned this sacrilegious act and urged the in-charge officials to undertake urgent investigation so as to clarify the complete truth and punish offenders.
