Message of Ayatullah Muhammad Javad Fazel Lankarani about desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden

The heartbreaking incident of disrespecting the Quran and Muslims' sacred beings that occurred these days in Sweden pierced the hearts of Muslims and followers of all divine religions with sadness. Insulting the holy Quran means insulting the Bible and all divine books. Insulting the Quran is insulting all prophets of God. Insulting the Quran is trampling over values and commandments of all divine religions. What goal the perpetrators of this heinous act pursue? Cannot they bear its verses on fighting paganism, polytheism and oppression? Is it difficult for them to hear the verses which predict that Islam will dominate the earth saying, “It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although they who associate others with Allah dislike it.” Do they think that they can stop the growing popularity of the Quran, which has spread into the White House, Kremlin and other western powers?

These deviant people and those masters of the schemers of this fiendish plan should know that as time passes by the miracles of this book become further evident and its influence on the hearts of people as well as on scientific and research centers grows more and more. Today, people are returning back to their God given nature and are accepting this book and turning to Islam.

The Swedish government should know that they have provoked the anger of all free people and all Muslims. The inept reaction of the French president aroused great pity as he did not condemn insulting the Prophet of Islam under the pretext of freedom of speech.

Doesn’t he know that there are more than one billion Muslims in the world and insulting the Prophet means insulting and violation of the right of one billion people?

Also, the indifference of Muslim states is such a shame and their silence signifies their unbelief in the Quran.

I earnestly request the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially the Foreign Ministry to demonstrate strong reaction to this incident. The Iranian Muslim nation, the seminaries and faculty circles rather all groups of the society should express their widespread condemnation.

Peace, blessing and mercy of God be upon you
