Abdul-Malik al-Houthi calls for boycotts over Quran desecration
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, has issued a statement condemning repeated insults to the Holy Quran, including acts of burning the scripture. He characterized these actions by Zionist and American elements as a “hostile stance against Islam and Muslims” and an expression of enmity toward sacred principles.
Al-Houthi called on Islamic nations and their citizens to take decisive action to prevent further desecration. He specifically advocated for official political and economic boycotts against the United States and Western nations that support such activities, suggesting that such measures could force these powers to cease their actions.
He further stated that the failure of the Muslim world to take a firm stance against these offenses constitutes a “great negligence and a major sin.” Al-Houthi linked these incidents to broader geopolitical tensions, citing the situation in Gaza and other international scandals as evidence of the perceived hostility toward Islamic values.
