West’s New Snare For Iraq’
Last June 28, a Swede of Iraqi origin named “Salvan Momika” (37 years old) in Stockholm, on the first day of the Eid al-Adha holiday, tore a copy of the Quran and set it on fire in the central mosque of this city. This action was done with the permission of the Swedish police. Despite all the warnings of the Islamic world and the announcement of the anger and disgust of Muslims, in the space of only a few weeks, the Swedish regime once again allowed this Hetak and his companions to hold an anti-Islamic rally in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm, and this Iraqi refugee at noon on July 20 For the second time, he insulted the Holy Quran and kicked the Iraqi flag under his feet.
At the same time, many analysts stated that the approval of an Iraqi youth to burn the Holy Quran was no accident in Sweden. Al-Mayadeen Network website published a note on this matter and wrote: Momika was “the right man” to send the message that “even Arabs are running away from their Muslim communities” in line with the project of Islamophobia of the West.
According to this note, “the crime of burning a copy of the Qur’an is done with the aim of inciting Muslims in Sweden, insulting and humiliating them to insinuate that Islam and its authority in the world are not capable of preserving its holy things (the Qur’an). The purpose of this is to manage a long-term conflict.
“Javad Al-Handavi”, the former Iraqi ambassador to the European Union, in a note published in “Rai Al Youm” newspaper, investigated the recent desecration in Sweden at the hands of an Iraqi refugee and wrote: “It is wrong to think that burning the Quran Karim and burning the flag of the country of Iraq, as a great country with history, heritage, culture, and… the personal desire of “Salvan Momika”, a person who tried to burn a holy book and the national symbol of a country that is just rising after It is victory over terrorism and challenges, and it is trying to get out of various crises.
Emphasizing that Iraq should not fall into the trap of sedition by the West, he added: “The incidents and developments that occur in Iraq and the region, or that target Iraq and the region, and national symbols and sanctities, are not accidental. Every event or phenomenon has wires that are connected to generators that are fed by sedition, division, and dynamite, subversion and destruction of sacred things, beliefs, and symbols of sovereignty and national unity.
The former Iraqi diplomat and the head of the Arab-European Center for Policies and Capacity Building in Brussels asks a few questions: “In your opinion, who benefits from the overthrow and destruction of the holy things, beliefs, and moral and value constants of Muslims and Arabs?” Who do you think will benefit from targeting the symbol of Iraq, its sovereignty, and national unity? Who is waiting for opportunities to prevent Iraq from progressing on the ups and downs path and finding solutions to the country’s crises?”
The note continues: “Many people, from small to big, are behind the curtain of the events that happened and are happening inside and outside the country. Has Iraq been freed from the evil of ignorance, gangs and mercenaries, and those upset with this country that has sovereignty and decision-making and has a prestigious and powerful international position?”
Al-Handawi further raises the question of why, in the current situation, Iraq and the Qur’an are being targeted and writes: “It is true that we have passed Eid al-Adha, but we are on the threshold of sacred religious and religious days and events. Why the Koran and Iraq, when we are on the verge of an investment renaissance, diplomatic opening, signing big investment contracts, and promising? We are now in the space of national awareness about Iraq’s water rights, territorial integrity, and common oil fields.
In the continuation of this note, it is stated: “Unfortunately, I expect that insults to the Holy Quran will be repeated so that this act becomes a vulgar and new fashion, and its purpose is to lower and destroy the sanctity and position and influence of this holy book on consciousness. It is a group of Arabs and Muslims. Who of us expected that the Holy Quran would be burned with international support? Who expected that the book of Almighty God would be burned with the human rights slogan and freedom of expression? Let’s review together in the recent past, in this case, we will reach the answer to the question of Why the Qur’an and Why Iraq”.
This former Iraqi diplomat wrote: “Iraq’s entry into the war with Iran and then the occupation of Kuwait and after that, the field and siege of Iraq, the looting of its wealth and the destruction of its infrastructure, was a prelude to interacting with the Arabs and the region given these negative phenomena: Terrorism, Greater Middle East, Compromise in Palestine, Encirclement and Occupation. Against these planned and fabricated phenomena, the Arab countries and the Islamic governments of the region were divided into two categories of financiers and supporters and victims and resistance under different pretexts, and Iraq was also a leader in this matter!
According to al-Handavi, “As long as the forces of evil and destruction seek to spread disease and then comfort in the body of the Arabs and the region, the evil and destructive forces will begin their work in Iraq, just as terrorism began and spread in Iraq.” They failed with the weapon of terrorism and replaced it with soft powers that use human rights, freedom of speech, and democracy to become influential, and by influencing in this way, they move in the direction of overthrowing the sacred and taboos. And now we are at the beginning of a long way designed for this purpose. The station for the spread of democracy, the station for imposing the position of homosexuality, and the station for burning the Quran and holy things.
The Iraqi writer and analyst further states: “With the weapon of resistance, we crushed the weapon of terrorism.” Now let us defeat the forces of evil and destruction with the soft weapon of resistance and their soft weapon with condemnation and condemnation as well as diplomatic methods by the current diplomatic agreements and laws.
