Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei Condemns Desecration of Holy Quran in Sweden 

Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a message, called the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden a bitter, conspiratorial and dangerous incident.

He emphasized, lThe severest punishment for the perpetrator of this crime is agreed upon by all Islamic scholars, the Swedish government must hand over the criminal to the judicial authorities of Islamic countries.” 

He noted that the Swedish government must also know that by supporting the criminal, it has taken a warlike stance against the Islamic world and has attracted hatred and enmity from Muslim nations and many of their governments.

He asked the Swedish government to hand over the criminal to the judicial authorities of Islamic countries. 

“The hidden (Behind-the-scenes) conspirators should also know that the sanctity and grandeur of the Holy Quran will increase day by day, and its guiding lights will shine brighter than ever. The likes of this conspiracy and its conspiracist are too insignificant to prevent this increasing radiance. And Allah prevails in His affairs,” the statement by Sayyed Ali Khamenei Read.

There are always sacred values in human life that thinkers and governments protect those values with laws, and for the violation of those laws, punishments appropriate to the type of crime have been predicted and implemented. Preserving the dignity of human and religious values has been of special importance since the beginning of the formation of social systems in primitive tribes and traditional and modern social systems. 

In an analysis by Dr. Ali Akbar Ziai, he noted that the Desecration of the Holy Quran under the false pretext of freedom of expression is a concrete example of violating the sanctity of religious sanctities in all religions. 

“They are considered criminal and all divine religions are against this desecration of religious sanctuaries. that the leader of the revolution did not consider a single person guilty of desecration the Holy Quran but he considered it to be a conspiracy against Islam, which was planned by the global imperialistic powers and the enemies of Islam,” he said.

He said the following about desecration and its relationship with global imperialistic powers: 

“Criticizing is different from desecration and insult. This point is very important, everyone should pay attention. 

This kind of act, this kind of desecration is the act of the Americans who have disgraced themselves in the world.” 

He in another speech said that the global imperialistic powers are against the teachings of the Holy Quran about calling Muslims to unity and solidarity, and so it becomes clear that the desecration was not done by one person but it is rooted in the hatred of global imperialistic powers towards Quranic teachings.
