Indonesia, which has the largest number of Muslims in the world, summoned the Indian ambassador to Jakarta.
“Indonesia strongly condemns unacceptable derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad peace to be upon him [peace be upon him] by two Indian politicians,” read a tweet by the foreign ministry.
The Arab Parliament (PA) also denounced the comment and stressed the need to stop irresponsible remarks that offend the symbols and sanctities of true Islam, affirming that these perpetrators must be held accountable to make sure that such violations will not be repeated.
“Such statements reflect a clear ignorance of Islam’s message of peace and its great role in spreading the values of tolerance as well as confronting racism and extremism,” the parliament noted, emphasizing its full rejection of insulting all religious’ symbols and sanctities.
On Saturday, the Indian official posted on his Twitter account a controversial tweet about the Prophet Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha, which sparked anger and widespread criticism among the pioneers of social networking sites, especially in Arab countries.
Activists criticized the escalation of hatred against Islam and Muslims in India, highlighting Modi’s racist policy against Muslims.
The International Organization for Supporting the Prophet of Islam said in a tweet on its Twitter account: “The spokesman for the ruling party in India, Bharatiya Janata, insults the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.”
