AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Muslims across various countries, including Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey and Nigeria, have expressed their condemnation of the desecration of the holy Qur'an in Sweden through organized demonstrations.
In the last 10 days, there has been a notable surge in insults directed towards Islamic sanctities in European countries.
Sweden and Denmark have once again allowed for the sacrilege of the holy Qur'an. Last Thursday marked the second instance within a week where individuals in Sweden burned copies of the holy Qur'an with the approval of local law enforcement. Furthermore, a far-right group in Denmark burned a copy of the holy Qur'an in front of the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen.
The repeated acts of desecration in Sweden and Denmark highlight that despite European governments claiming not to support such actions, they indirectly endorse such illegal and offensive behavior.
While Muslims from various countries express their anger towards these incidents, European governments continue to allow for their occurrence instead of taking action against these insults towards religious sanctities. Europeans often justify these acts by citing freedom of speech; however, they oppose practices such as wearing hijab in schools and questioning the Holocaust, where freedom of speech seemingly holds no value. Therefore, insulting Islamic sanctities within European countries is not merely an exercise of freedom of speech but rather an organized effort against Islam and Muslims as a whole.
This action by European governments and those who attack the holy Qur'an has sparked a widespread reaction in Islamic countries. Protesters in Iraq, Lebanon, Nigeria, Turkey, and Iran have called for the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador. Some Islamic countries have also summoned Swedish ambassadors and diplomats to their respective Ministries of Foreign Affairs.
The European governments and the United Nations are the ones suffering the most in this confrontation with Islam. The Islamic world possesses significant capabilities in various fields, particularly the economy.
The growing gap between Islamic and European countries could lead to a loss of these capacities.
The extensive reactions from Muslims also indicate their desire to sever ties with Sweden and Denmark. Conversely, the United Nations has not taken a firm stance against the insult directed at the holy Qu'ran. This lack of action raises doubt about its own position on this matter.
