The General Presidency of Haramain emphasised that such heinous acts disrespect all religions and those who commit such acts cannot be familiar with the authentic biography of the Chosen Prophet.
“May Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, for he was the best to have ever tread the Earth, the light of humanity, and a mercy bestowed upon the world, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him,” a statement stated.

This statement affirms the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s position condoning respect for belief and religion, spreading the message of peace among all, and not disrespecting the symbols of Islam.
