Note that all the countries that are lamenting this act of alleged “hate and extremism” never say a word about Islamic jihad violence as “hate and extremism.” Their outrage over this is all in service of the longterm goal of intimidating the West into discarding the freedom of expression and adopting Sharia blasphemy restrictions.
“‘Over 1.5 billion Muslims hurt’: Reaction to Quran desecration in Sweden,” TRT World, January 21, 2023:
Muslim world has erupted in anger and alarm after Sweden allowed a far-right racist politician Rasmus Paludan to burn a copy of the Muslim Holy book Quran in front of the Turkish embassy building in Stockholm.
Here are some of the first reactions:
Türkiye
“We condemn in the strongest possible terms the vile attack on our holy book, the Quran, in Sweden today (21 January), despite our repeated warnings earlier,” a Turkish Foreign Ministry statement said.
Calling the act “an outright hate crime,” the ministry said: “Permitting this anti-Islam act, which targets Muslims and insults our sacred values, under the guise of freedom of expression is completely unacceptable.”
“This despicable act is yet another example of the alarming level that Islamophobia and, racist and discriminatory movements have reached in Europe.”
Pakistan
“This senseless and provocative Islamophobic act hurts the religious sensitivities of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world,” said a statement from the Pakistani Foreign Ministry.
Such actions are “not covered under any legitimate expression of the right to freedom of expression or opinion, which carries responsibilities under international human rights law, such as the obligation not to carry out hate speech and incite people to violence.”
“Pakistan’s concerns are being conveyed to the authorities in Sweden. We urge them to be mindful of the sentiments of the people of Pakistan and the Muslims worldwide and take steps to prevent Islamophobic acts,” the statement added.
Kuwait
The incident “hurts Muslims’ sentiments across the world and marks serious provocation,” Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al Jaber Al Sabah said in statements cited by the state news agency KUNA.
He called on the international community “to shoulder responsibility by stopping such unacceptable acts and denouncing all forms of hatred and extremism and brining the perpetrators to accountability.”…
Qatar
Qatar condemned the Swedish authorities’ permission to burn the Holy Quran and call on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities to reject hatred and violence.
Iran
Calling it an attempt to stoke hatred and violence against Muslims, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said some European countries under the false pretext of advocating freedom of speech “allow extremist and radical elements to spread hatred against Islamic sanctities and values”.
Kanaani said despite the strong emphasis on human rights in Islam, Europeans continue to “institutionalise anti-Islamism and Islamophobia” in their societies.
He added that the desecration of the Quran is a “clear example of spreading hatred and fueling violence against Muslims”, which has “nothing to do with freedom of speech and thought”….
Egypt
Egypt expressed its strong condemnation of the disgraceful act that provokes the feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world.
Egypt warned of the dangers of the spread of such acts that offend religions and fuel hate speech and violence, calling for upholding the values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence and preventing offense to all religions and their sanctities through such extremist practices that contradict the values of respect for religion.
Organization of Islamic Cooperation
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation bloc said the “provocative action… targets Muslims, insults their sacred values, and serves as further example of the alarming level reached by Islamophobia” and asked Sweden to punish those behind a “hate crime”.
jasmine says
Calling Koran a holy book is a joke. It hurts my sensitivities because the unholy book commands the Muslims to wage war on non Muslims.

If I correctly recall the information given out by David Wood in a video with Robert Spencer about a year or so back (and loosely paraphrasing), the ‘Holy Qur’an’ is no more than a crude compendium of negligently plagiarised intellectual property mainly stolen from Judaism and Christianity, plus page after page of unverified historical anecdotes about a 7th century career criminal ‘hero’ suffering epileptic delusions of being a Holy Prophet in personal contact with an ‘Omnipotent Divine Creator’ that was actually just a projection of his own twisted ego, aided and abetted by a bunch of vicious, avaricious crooks who colluded with this depraved charlatan to create perhaps the longest-running pseudo-religious scam in history. it belongs on a refuse tip or at best as an exhibit in a Museum of Evil
Also, whatever the Swedes choose to do with anything they find on their territory is a matter for them alone and no one else.

Wow that’s well said and a good summary.

Michael Copeland says
Turkey: “discriminatory movements”
Kuwait: wants “denouncing all forms of hatred and extremism”
Qatar: calls to “reject hatred and violence”.
Iran: complaint:”stoke hatred and violence”
Egypt: wants “upholding the values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence”
Just to point out the hypocrisy in all this………….
Islam itself is a “discriminatory movement”, muslims being “merciful to one another and ruthless to the kafir”- Koran 5:54, part of Islamic law.
Islam instructs hatred: “between us and you enmity and hatred forever”, Koran 60:4, part of Islamic law.
“extremism”, as defined by the UK government, coincides with what an observant muslim is instructed to do by Islam, namely “opposition to ..democracy, the rule of law [UK law], individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths”.

“hatred and violence” are what Islam instructs muslims to do to kafirs – hatred (above) and violence “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them ” K. 9:5, Islamic law.
“Tolerance and peaceful coexistence” are forbidden by Islam: “If anyone desire a religion other than Islam never will it be accepted of him…” Koran 3:85, Islamic law.
“do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies”, K. 5:51
“Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy” K. 4:10, all part of Islamic law.

Would should gaslight them by burning 1 or 2 every day.
somehistory says
Ah, poor, poor scum. No self-control, just like their demon father.
no reciprocation of *tolerance* like what is shown to mozlums when they scream about the “filthy” Christians and Jews,
and use Bibles for toilet paper,
or set fire to churches, or burn down whole villages, or rape young girls,
or murder innocent people in their beds, in their homes, on the streets, in their churches and synagogues.
Insulting a religion is only okay if mozlums are insulting religions and murdering those of other belief systems.
cardbank16 says
Desecrating churches has the same effect on Christian sensibilities.
wpm says
Really you have Christians who after Christian churches in Africa, Asia ,and some in Europe are attacked or vandalized by jihadist calling for the censoring of Islam??Or the punishment of Moslems??Where can you give us a example of Christians fighting back for people saying “bad things” about Christianity in the last 100 years??
James Lincoln says
cardbank16,
Are you being sarcastic?
Fitna says
What gets Muslims enraged:
-Terrorism in the name of Islam?
-Honor-killings, beating of women, treating them as chattel and sex slaves?
-FGM, child-brides?
-Persecution of minorities?
Nope, all these things are accepted and practiced by Muslims.
What boils their blood is:
-burning Qurans
-eating pork
-alcohol
-western culture/freedom
I’m glad that Rasmus Paludan is continuing to burn Qurans wherever he can. He’s sticking a finger in the eyes of not just Muslims, but the slimy, weak-kneed western scumbags that side with Islam and sell us out.
He’s showing in the most obvious and overt way possible, what a bunch of dangerous and crazy savages that Muslims are, that they’d be willing to kill people over some burnt pieces of paper.
If Muslims will kill us merely over this simple laughable act, then what else are they capable of? This is the reality that the West has refused to confront for decades now.
We all know Muslims are a bunch of evil fascist bastards that don’t belong here and yet nothing is done about it, no matter how much they threaten us, or engage in rape/terrorism, our media/elites continue to turn a blind eye to the Islamic elephant in the room.
Politicians need to be forced to deal with this threat, since it is their duty to protect our nation from enemies foreign and domestic. Otherwise things will continue to get worse and Muslims will get the upper hand and start killing people for criticizing their extremely evil religion.
Barbara says
Boo hoo a book gets burned. Nothing compared to the murdering of Christens and Jews. A book can be replaced. A human cannot be replaced.
This organization follows the criteria of a cult.

tim gallagher says
I agree, Barbara. Muslims need to grow up and begin to behave like civilised human beings. They treat non-Muslims like crap, murder people in endless terrorist attacks but they get outraged over burning that foul book of hate, the Koran. Boo hoo indeed. What knuckle dragging lunatics they are.
Deodata says
Terrorist attacks by Islam have hurt the sensitivity of every Christian. Personally, I feel offended.
bill carr says
I have never heard a word or regret let alone condemnation expressed by any of these countries about the Christians being slaughtered almost weekly on the African continent, nor the regular murder of non Muslims accused of ‘blasphemy’ in Pakistan.
Iran especially with the current behaviour of its leadership which constitute human rights crimes, is in no position to criticise anybody. However it was very stupid of the Swedish authorities to allow it, as it gives Erdogan the excuse to be even more difficult about allowing Sweden into NATO. Although the two things are not related in any way. A classic case of shooting themselves in the foot.
bill carr says
Typo: of regret
bill carr says
Only a small group of people less than a hundred I believe, watched this event and many of them were no doubt only on lookers. So it was hardly an example of mass Islamophobia. They were probably outnumbered by the counter demonstrations of Muslims mainly Turks.
Erdogan is also famous for his call for Turks in EU countries not to integrate a while back.
NoLibsWelcomeHere says
Some truth about the terror guide, aka “the koran”. It’s writer, mohammed the pig faced dog, had completed sex with his favorite pig, or “dad” as he called it, then prepared to have “dad” as a meal. Pig-faced dog mohammed didn’t know about proper preparation of pork, so it wasn’t sufficiently cooked. That led pig-faced dog mohammed to have some intestinal distress. Within an hour, he was crapping the koran into the arabian sands. And that’s how pig-faced dog mohammed, inventor of (p)islam and allah the moon-god wrote the koran.
Allahu’s Snackbar!!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Rasmus Paludan is my newest hero! None of the countries that condemned him or Sweden have a great record in respecting the human rights of non-muslims, so they’re ones to speak! The term ‘racist’ is loosely used, and I never believe it when it’s being applied to someone opposed to muslims
It’s pretty often that we hear of Bibles and other religious literature being desecrated in muslim countries like Pakistan. So the charges against Sweden should be treated w/ the contempt it deserves
Golem2 says
The worst of People have the chutzpah to complain that Their feelings are hurt. The only solution is for Islamists to go to the 56 Islamist Countries.
OLD GUY says
Oh give me a break. Burning of Catholic Churches and the killing of Priest and ministers hurts my sensitivity toward Islam. Islam needs to take a look at its own practices of MURDER and VIOLENCE against other religions. Until they do Qur’an burn baby burn !
James Lincoln says
So, the Qur’an-burning in Sweden “hurts the religious sensitivities” of muslims.
So what?
somehistory says
If there are reasonable members of that death cult, they should be asking “why” do so many want to burn their book. Instead, they all get hot under their dirty collars and want to murder…even more that usual. I personally don’t give a hoot how many get their feelings hurt.
Walter Sieruk says
A much more intelligent way to handle the subject the Qu ran than to burn it is to read , study and research the Qu ‘ran to reveal and expose the many errors and contradictions that it contains.
Therefore it had been revealed on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qu‘ran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Qu’ran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Qu ‘ran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Qu ‘ran is right.”
Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Qu ‘ran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Qu ‘ran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Qu ‘ran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” In addition , in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses.
For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Qu ‘ran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
Even though the above essay was posted before, it should now be added that the last statement of the above that “the Qu ‘ran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.” To put this in a Biblical way. As in from the Bible, it may be truly explained that the Qu ‘ran is a deceptive work of “the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.” Ephesians 14:12.. [N.I.V.]
