Statement by the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Copenhagen in Condemnation of Continued insults to the Holy Quran in Denmark

The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Copenhagen strongly condemns the continual hateful act of desecration of the Holy Quran in Denmark.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

we ourselves have revealed the Quran and we are its protectors ,15:9

 

The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Copenhagen strongly condemns the continual hateful act of desecration of the Holy Quran in Denmark.    

                

The Embassy is bewildered by the inaction by Danish authorities to stop the incessant propagation of hate in the form of hate and xenophobic speeches, insults to the Holy Quran, and serious impairment of normal functioning of Muslim Embassies in Copenhagen. The continuation of insults to the Holy Quran continues despite OIC, representing 57 Muslim countries, calling on Denmark to act swiftly to end this blatant insults to the Muslims worldwide.

 

The Embassy once again reiterates its extreme dismay at what is becoming a routine attack on the belief of Muslims across the world and calls on the Danish Government to take the necessary measures in compliance with its international obligations to put an end to this circus of pretentions in the name of defending freedom of expression, and stop insults to the Holy Quran.
