Denmark: Burning the Koran was a “shameful act”.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark condemned the latest insult by an extremist group in this country to the Holy Qur’an as a “shameful act”.
After the insult to the Holy Qur’an in Denmark provoked a wave of reactions in the international community and angered the Muslim countries of the world, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this country condemned this insulting action in a statement.
In this regard, Turkey’s Anatolia news agency reported that, in a statement yesterday (Saturday), Denmark condemned the provocative act of burning a copy of the Holy Quran and described it as a “shameful act” that is an insult to other religions.
It seems that after the strong reactions to Sweden, Denmark has tried to protect itself from the anger of Muslims by condemning this action. Last night (Saturday, July 22), Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah, in a message regarding Sweden’s action in repeatedly issuing permission to those who insult the Quran, emphasized that “one should not be fooled by apologies. This is not enough, but the Swedish government should be stopped from these insulting behaviors or any other violation of our holy scriptures and symbols.”
In a statement published on its Twitter page, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this provocative action by a far-right group in Denmark harms many people and causes differences between different religions and cultures.
In this statement, it is stated that despite the freedom of religion in Denmark, many citizens of this country are Muslims. “They are a valuable part of Danish society.”
Last Friday, members of a far-right group calling themselves “Patriots of Denmark” chanted slogans against the religion of Islam in front of the Iraqi embassy in the Danish capital, holding anti-Islamic placards. They threw the Iraqi flag and the Holy Quran on the ground and trampled it and published this action live on their Facebook account.
The Danish Foreign Ministry stated in its statement that Copenhagen believes that freedom of speech and assembly should be respected and “Denmark supports the right to protest, but these demonstrations must remain peaceful.”
