Iraqi politician; Islamic ambassadors should be called from Stockholm.
An Iraqi Kurdish politician, finding it useless to issue statements condemning insulting Islam in Sweden, suggested; Islamic countries should show a decisive reaction to these attacks by recalling their ambassadors from Stockholm.
In the shadow of the continuation of the widespread reactions of the Islamic countries to the action of an Iraqi refugee in burning a copy of the Holy Quran in Sweden with the permission of the police of this country, in addition to the Iraqi government officials, the Iraqi Kurdistan region officials also condemned this crime and demanded to prevent the repetition of such a crime. The actions were provocative.
In response to this, Masoud Barzani, head of the Democratic Party of Iraqi Kurdistan, stated: The unacceptable act of burning the Holy Quran is not an example of freedom of thought and speech in any way and cannot be justified in any way.
Nichervan Barzani, the head of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, also condemned the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden and called it an ugly and distasteful act.
In another part of this message, it is stated that all religious beliefs and sanctities should be respected and no one or faction should be allowed to suppress freedom or insult the sanctities.
Masrour Barzani, the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, also condemned this action in a message and called on everyone to respect all the holy books and prevent actions that disrupt coexistence.

In an interview with “Al-Malouma” website, Al-Sorji stated: “The burning of the Holy Quran and the attack on Islamic holy places are not happening in Sweden for the first time, but they have been repeated several times, so many provocative actions against the feelings of Muslims should be prevented.”
He added: “Issuing statements condemning these actions is of no use and will not prevent their repetition, therefore, Islamic countries should take a firm stand by withdrawing their ambassadors from the Swedish capital in protest of allowing the Swedish authorities to insult the sacred and religious beliefs.” adopt”.
This Kurdish politician added that if this decision is taken, the ambassadors of Islamic countries will return to Sweden only after the approval of a law in Sweden that prohibits the attack on holy places and religious beliefs, as stated in the UN bill.
