  "These systematic actions allow the infection of extremism and hatred to put societies in front of a real threat to peaceful coexistence." According to the statement.
 
The Ministry called on the authorities of the countries in the European Union to "quickly reconsider what is called freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate, and for there to be a clear position to prevent these abuses in front of the buildings of the embassies of the Republic of Iraq on their lands," pointing out, "The silence and lack of commitment to clear procedures that prevent the perpetrators of these acts and subject them to legal accountability, paved the way for the penetration of this dangerous behavior."
 
The ministry renewed "the position of the government of Iraq calling for international resolutions and instruments to criminalize these acts, consider respecting religious symbols and sacred books in an equal and transparent manner, without discrimination based on religion and race.
