Another shameful incident of desecration of the Holy Quran took place in Sweden’s capital Stockholm amidst a heavy police presence outside Sweden’s Royal Palace.
Two protestors desecrated the Holy Quran deeply wounding the religious sentiments of Muslims worldwide. The incident involved the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran, a display that has ignited a firestorm of emotions on the global stage.
This incident took place on Monday, marking the second instance within weeks wherein individuals chose to desecrate the Holy Quran.
Surprisingly, such actions are permissible under Sweden’s freedom of speech laws.
The incident occurred at Mynttorget, a central square embraced by government edifices and the regal palace.
Throwing insult to injury, a megaphone was employed by the instigators, aimed at provoking counter-protesters.
However, a powerful show of unity emerged, as a multitude of individuals armed with their own megaphones came forward, silencing the provocative act and upholding the values of respect and tolerance.
The repercussions of such actions extend beyond national borders, generating ripples in the geopolitical realm.
This year, a series of Quran burnings have unfolded in both Sweden and Denmark, gathering intense reactions from Muslim nations.
These nations have appealed to the Swedish and Danish governments to address these incidents.—AFP
