According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, “Faleh Al-Fayaz”, the commander of Hashd al-Shaabi, today (Friday, June 30) condemned the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran in Sweden, under the legal protection of the country’s authorities.

According to the report of the network websiteAl-MayadeenAl-Fayaz described this reprehensible act as a “disgraceful terrorist act” and said: “Such an act deliberately hurts the feelings of Muslims and even non-Muslims who believe in divine religions.”

On the evening of Wednesday (June 28), a Swede of Iraqi origin named “Salvan Momika” (37 years old) in Stockholm, on the first day of Eid al-Adha holiday, tore a copy of the Quran and set it on fire in the central mosque of this city. .

Ahmad Al-Sahaf, the spokesman of the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, also announced that the Baghdad government wants the Swedish authorities to hand over the person who violated the Holy Quran to this country.

Al-Fayaz continued: Our great hope is that the wise people of the world will take a responsible stance towards this terrorism that happened under cover and false titles. False claims that have now been proven to those who use them to be bogus and baseless.

At the end, while recommending “more restraint”, Al-Fayaz asked the people of the countries not to be drawn to what these people want by supporting these heinous acts.

The repetition of this criminal act in a western country that has witnessed the desecration of Islamic sanctities in the past caused widespread global reactions, especially in the Islamic world. In Iraq, these reactions included a wide range of popular actions to government positions and statements of religious figures.

Last night, the office of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Sistani, the supreme authority of the Shiites in Iraq, announced in a statement last night that it had sent a message to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres about the desecration of the Holy Quran with the permission of the Swedish police and announced: “Such behaviors Insulting has happened many times in recent years in different countries, but the remarkable thing is that this time it was done with the official permission of the Swedish police and with the claim of freedom of speech; Respect for freedom of speech cannot provide permission for this shameful behavior, which is an open attack on the sanctities of more than two billion Muslims in the world and leads to the creation of a suitable environment for the spread of extremist thoughts and wrong behaviors.

Yesterday, hundreds of Iraqi citizens condemned the burning of the Holy Quran in front of a mosque in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and held a protest rally in front of the country’s embassy in Baghdad. The Iraqi media announced that these people protested in the “Al-Salahiya” area in the center of Baghdad and demanded the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador.

The countries of Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and several other Arab capitals also expressed their protest by issuing strong statements and summoning Swedish ambassadors to them. Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement also reacted to this terrorist act by issuing a statement.
