“It is unacceptable to allow these vile attacks under the pretext of freedom of expression, despite all our warnings.”
Note the threat.
Note also the dismissal of the freedom of expression. It’s just a “pretext” to allow insults to Islam. But why should Islam, above all other belief systems, be protected from insult by those who do not believe in it and are alarmed by the violence done in its name and in accord with its teachings? Turkey never addresses the reasons why anyone would want to burn a Qur’an in the first place. Nor does anyone else. It’s treated as if it were an entirely gratuitous act of bigotry. In reality, there are over 43,177 reasons why someone would want to do such a thing.
“Turkey summons Danish envoy over attacks on Koran and Turkish flag,” Reuters, April 14, 2023:
ANKARA, April 14 (Reuters) – Turkey summoned the Danish ambassador in Ankara to express its strong condemnation and protest over what it said had been attacks on the Koran and on the Turkish flag on Friday, the Foreign Ministry said.
“It is unacceptable to allow these vile attacks under the pretext of freedom of expression, despite all our warnings,” the ministry said in a statement, without specifying what attacks it was referring to….
“We will undoubtedly continue our efforts in bilateral and multilateral platforms against this vile attack and similar hate crimes, which are clear examples of Islamophobia and xenophobia that have increased alarmingly in Europe recently,” the Turkish foreign ministry said.

Kesselman says
Islam is not exempted from critical investigation or otherwise free of scrutiny. All radical ideologies be it National Socialism, communism, Critical Theory, Islamism, Western leftist globalism, etc. have to accept critical finger-poking in their already blinded eyes.

I’m Danish and to begin with I wasn’t too crazy about Rasmus Paludan burning the Quran. But after having read the thing and many of the authentic Hadiths and the history of Islam, I actually think it’s called for. I’m not sure it changes anything, but at least it should serve as a wake-up call for my own fellow country men and most of Western Europe. The “stealth” Islamization is over and there are no more excuses to let this continue. At least I find some satisfaction in knowing, that all the self-righteous “do gooders” can only blame themselves for sacrificing their own children and descendants in the name of (false) tolerance and political correctness.

Now it’s xenophobia? Who is more xenophobic than a Muslim? Their fear of ‘the other’ is downright psychopathic.
Ray Jarman says
Maybe the Dutch and other non-muslim cult nations should put forth statements in the UN that would loudly decry the slaughter of humans not of the cult. How is the burning of a piece of trash compared to that of Christians, Jews and other religions being killed daily. Even in Europe, especially in Germany, France, England and Italy, cult members kill other people for the fun of it on a daily basis.

I hope that the Turks are told to grow up. All the endless Muslim terrorist attacks constantly happening around the world and these infantile Muslims whinge about a book being burnt. Absolutely ridiculous. When Muslims stop murdering non-Muslims and stop all those rape gangs then maybe the Koran, their evil instruction book, will deserve not to burnt.

Yes, the Qur”an does inspires Muslim terrorism, Surah 2:191.4:89.9:5,,123.47:4. Nervelessness burning that top religious book of Islam and is the entire foundation for the religion of Islam a not ,at all , a good way and not an intelligent way to handle the terrible problem of Islamic .terrorism.
A good way and also an intelligent method to deal to the violent and deadly plague of Islamic terrorism is to read , study and examine the Qu ”an and reveal and expose the many contradictions and errors that this “holy book” of Islam contains.
. Therefore this has alreadly been accomplished been by many scholars revealed . Two example of this may start on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qur ‘an with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Qur ‘an 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 Qur ‘an is right.”
Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, 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 Qur ‘an.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Qur ‘an 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 Qur ‘an 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 Qur ‘an is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

I admire the man for making a stand against the barbaric ideology that is Islam.
James Lincoln says
I believe that a Koran should be burned following procedures approved by the local fire department.
Also, environmentalists should advise as to the best way to minimize air pollution.
Ralph says
The fact is that the Quran and the Muslims it is allowed to criticize Christianity and Judaism but when Christians ,Jews or whoever does criticize some places of the Quran ,immediately t the Muslims feel insulted !
FYI says
Books that definitely should be burned are the obscene pornographic books they are showing to children in schools in the name of the Globalist-Leftist ‘inclusivity and diversity’ program;Little children should not have to be shown such things.
OLD GUY says
Burning a Quran is right up there with Rape Gangs, Honor killings, and Murder of non-muslims.
