The Union of Islamic Radio and Television strongly condemned the repeated actions of burning the Quran in Sweden with the official permission of the government

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Tehran: In the statement of Ali Karimian, the Secretary General of the Islamic Radio and Television Union, regarding the continued act of burning the Holy Quran and insulting this holy book, it is stated: The Islamic Radio and Television Union strongly condemns this action and considers it an insult to the sanctity and dignity of the Islamic Ummah and Muslims, and emphasizes that this action is aimed at spreading hatred and confronting human values and insulting religions and sanctities, and that the Swedish government agrees with the actions of extremist terrorists in Burning the Holy Quran and more than once is an invitation to violence and sedition.

The union calls for peaceful marches and protest sit-ins and appropriate positions regarding this immoral behavior and requests that the media pay attention to and cover the various actions in condemning this issue that is taking place in the countries of the world by the people, official and diplomatic officials, institutions and organizations.

In the continuation of this statement, it has been emphasized that the support and agreement of the government of Sweden and European countries to insulting the holy things of Muslims has revealed the true face of the freedom claimants and has revealed the ugly truth and the duality of the western governments' standards regarding respect for values without any doubt.

The Union of Islamic Radio and Television has emphasized: Insulting the holy books is a clear example of spreading hatred and contradicts the original values of human rights, and this issue shows hostility towards Islam and Muslims, and insulting one of the most sacred values of Muslims will increase hostility towards Islam and promote Islamophobia and violence, and again exposes the duality of Western standards.

This union emphasizes the difference between freedom of speech and insulting the values and sanctities of others, this "shameful" action expresses the spirit of hostility and has nothing to do with freedom of speech, and such actions are aimed at promoting racism and violence.

Emphasizing the vigilance of Muslims, the union has stated that the response to this action should not be lowered to the same immoral and inappropriate level, because this is one of the goals of the plotters.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Swedish police once again, in a provocative act, issued permission to burn the Koran in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm to the same person who had previously committed this heinous act.

"Salon Momika" on Thursday once again, in a derogatory and anti-Islamic move, tried to tear and kick this holy book and the Iraqi flag in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm.

This action has once again greatly affected the feelings of Muslims around the world and has become very reactive, in such a way that Iraqi Muslims in the capital of this country attacked the Swedish embassy and set it on fire.
