A number of Islamic countries, most notably Malaysia, Indonesia and Pakistan, witnessed demonstrations against the ruling party in India, denouncing the violations against the Muslims of India, while the preacher of the Grand Mosque called on the countries of the world and international organizations to criminalize insulting the prophets and messengers.
In Malaysia, dozens of Malaysian non-governmental organizations organized a demonstration in the Indian Quarter in Kuala Lumpur to demand the Malaysian government and the governments of Islamic countries to take deterrent measures for India, and force it to stop insults to the Holy Prophet.
The head of the Coordination Council of Islamic Organizations in Malaysia, Azmi Abdul Hamid, described what the Muslims of India are being subjected to as a war of extermination, and said that they had announced a set of demands, the most important of which were "to stop atrocities, violence and all practices against Muslims", in addition to stopping what he described as "hate campaigns". Considering that such horrific campaigns "lead to ethnic cleansing," and that they "brought India to the brink of the abyss."
Abdul Hamid said that such acts "are not the teachings of Hinduism, and all Hindus do not carry these feelings of hatred, but rather groups that dominate the necks of the people from the extremists, racists and nationalists who are now ruling India."
He stressed that if such attacks were not stopped, they would launch "the largest campaign to boycott Indian goods under the slogan boycotts of India."

The preacher of the Grand Mosque
In Saudi Arabia, the preacher of the Grand Mosque, Abdullah al-Juhani, called on Friday, the countries of the world and international organizations to criminalize insulting the prophets and messengers.
Al-Juhani stressed, in the Friday sermon, that “insulting the prophets and messengers is a crime, and Muslims’ condemnation of this abuse must be in accordance with God’s law and the Sunnah of His Messenger.”
He said, "Criminal attempts to offend the Messenger of God and the Mother of the Believers will not harm the Islamic religion. God raised his remembrance of the Prophet Muhammad and made humiliation upon those who disobeyed his command," stressing that "the greatest support for the Prophet is to spread his virtues, publicize his biography, and broadcast the values and teachings of Islam."
During the past few days, the Indian statements offensive to the Prophet aroused widespread condemnation around the world, both at the official and popular levels.
The foreign ministries of Qatar, Kuwait and Iran also summoned India's ambassadors and handed them official protest notes against the insulting statements of the Prophet Muhammad, according to separate statements.
On June 6, the United Nations urged, in statements to the spokesman for its Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, during a press conference in New York, "to respect and tolerate all religions."
The media official in the ruling "Bharatiya Janata Party" in India, Navin Kumar Jindal, had made statements offensive to the Prophet of Islam Muhammad in early June.
As a result of Arab and international reactions, the ruling party in India announced the suspension of Jindal's work, against the background of offensive statements, according to local media.
