AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The head of Russia’s Chechen Republic said the continued desecration of Islam’s holy book in Europe poses an “unprecedented challenge” to the Muslim world.
They “predictably bring the situation to the point of no return,” Ramzan Kadyrov said in a statement on Telegram.
Kadyrov blasted Muslim countries over their failure to address numerous Quran-burning incidents in the West, vowing to do his best to “deal with” the culprits after the end of the Ukraine conflict.
“Where are the leaders of Muslim states at this time? Why are they allowing our Holy Scriptures to be openly violated and not taking any significant steps to protect Muslims and the Islamic religion? Do they really fear backlash and American and European sanctions more than the wrath of Allah Almighty?” he asked.
Kadyrov went on to say that if “Satan’s servants” are not stopped, “tomorrow they will be in our mosques.”
“They will indoctrinate our children that prayer is not fashionable and turn our peoples into a faceless mass of consumers for whom the dollar will become their god,” he said.
In recent weeks, Denmark and Sweden have seen a string of public protests in which anti-Muslim activists desecrated the Quran, prompting outrage among Islamic believers across the globe.
The Netherlands was also the scene of an act of Quran desecration on Friday.
While the two Nordic countries and the Netherlands deplored the incidents, they said that they could not prevent them, citing freedom of expression.
However, faced with pushback and heightened security risks, Copenhagen and Stockholm have signaled a readiness to address the issue.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the Quran burnings as a crime and an attempt to incite sectarian division.
