Sweden – Whilst speaking at a gathering of the Bosniak National Foundation in the Swedish city of Malmö, Sandzak Mufti, Muamer ef. Zukorlic shed some light on the bloodshed among Muslims in the Middle East and stated:
“What is happening in Syria, Iraq and Yemen does not concern only those countries. Provoking these conflicts is shrinking a sinister ring around Mecca and Medina. Our sanctuaries are a target. I'm worried about Mecca and Medina. It is high time that the holders of important responsibilities in the Islamic Ummah snapped out of it and began to act in accordance with the challenges of time and space “.
