The State of Qatar condemns the dramatic escalation of populist rhetoric that incites religious abuse, and reaffirms its total rejection of all forms of hate speech based on belief, race or religion. This inflammatory speech has witnessed a dangerous turn with the increasing institutional and systematic calls for the repeated targeting of nearly two billion Muslims around the world through the deliberate offending of the noble prophet Mohammed, Peace be Upon Him.

The State of Qatar will continue to support the values of tolerance and co-existence and to work toward the establishment of the principles of international peace and security.
