ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Wednesday condemned the airing of a defamatory video clip in the US.  Foreign Office in statement said that such abominable actions, synchronised with commemoration of atrocious events like 9/11, provoke hatred, discord and enmity within societies and between peoples of various faiths. The event has deeply hurt the feelings of the people of Pakistan and the Muslims from all over the world, the foreign ministry statement said. Pakistan is a strong proponent of inter-faith harmony and believes that all manifestations of extremist tendencies must be opposed, it added.

AFP adds: The film was made by an Israeli-American, the Wall Street Journal reported. The film has been promoted by controversial US pastor Terry Jones, who has drawn protests for burning the copies of Holy Quran and vehemently opposing the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York.
Islamabad also condemned the killing of the US ambassador and staff members in Libya.
“The government of Pakistan strongly condemns the killing of US ambassador Christopher Stevens and several other staff members in an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya,” the statement said.
