Islamic Madness spreads from Pakistan to Afghanistan

Taliban suspends all Swedish activities in Afghanistan

over Qur’an burning

One could argue that the Taliban is “radical,” but Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has already stated that Turkey has nothing that contradicts Taliban beliefs. Plus, it isn’t only the Taliban that is enraged over the Qur’an burning in Sweden.

Reaction from the Taliban came after the Organization of Islamic Cooperation “stressed the need for taking steps to prevent future desecration of the Quran.”

You know, if this was the 14th century and there were only 30 copies of the Quran in existence, one could almost understand the hysteria. But Islam can print off a thousand copies a day, and probably do. The Quran is only holy to Muslims. It is absurd to think that non-Muslims would treat it as holy.

Sweden has stood strong for the freedom of expression, except for the fact that “the Swedish Foreign Ministry has also condemned the ‘Islamophobic’ act.” It isn’t “Islamophobic” to offend Islam. Qur’an burnings are a protest against what Islam is about and signify the unwillingness to submit to Islamic sensibilities.

From millions of protesters in Pakistan and other protests across the Islamic world to global Islamic condemnations and calls for action, and now, the punishment of Swedes in Afghanistan, the goal is to put so much pressure on infidels that they submit to Sharia blasphemy laws, at the expense of their rights and freedoms.

Taliban Suspend Swedish Activities in Afghanistan Over Quran

by Ayaz Gul, Voice of America, July 12, 2023:

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN — The Taliban on Tuesday ordered the suspension of all Swedish activities in Afghanistan because of the public burning of the Quran, Islam’s holy book, at a protest in Sweden last month.

The Swedish Foreign Ministry has also condemned the “Islamophobic” act, but it noted that Sweden has a “constitutionally protected right to freedom of assembly, expression and demonstration.” The reaction came after the intergovernmental Organization of Islamic Cooperation stressed the need for taking steps to prevent future desecration of the Quran.

On June 28, an Iraqi national resident in Sweden’s capital, Stockholm, tore and burned a copy of the Quran outside the largest mosque as Muslims celebrated Eid al-Adha worldwide. The incident sparked outrage and condemnation in Islamic countries.

“The Islamic Emirate suspends Sweden’s activities in Afghanistan for granting permission to insult the Quran and the Muslim faith,” the Taliban said, using the official name for their government in Kabul.

According to the statement, the order will remain effective “until they [Sweden] apologize to the Muslims for this heinous act.” The Taliban called on other Islamic nations to “reconsider” their relations with the Swedish government over its “blasphemous” act….

Freedom of speech, European laws, will all have to bow to the Quran within a few years. Either that, or the Quran, itself, will have to be outlawed. Muslims will always tend to follow the Quran above national laws. European capitals will come to realize that one day, and then all hell will break loose.

Germany: Qur’an burned, thrown out of moving vehicle outside mosque

The intense reaction of multitudes across the Muslim world (including the Organization of Islamic Cooperation) demonstrates the expectation that free societies can and will be pressured into conforming to Islamic blasphemy laws. Most recently, the UN Human Rights Council passed a Pakistani resolution calling for action against “hatred of religion” (a.k.a. offense to Islam). Now it’s backfiring. More specifically:

The resolution calls for the “review” of Western laws and calls on Western nations to “plug gaps that may ‘impede the prevention and prosecution of acts and advocacy of religious hatred.’”

Islamic leaders globally continue to condemn a Qur’an burning while turning a blind eye to the widespread persecution of Christians in Islamic countries. But how well is this strategy working, as the Muslim world and the West stand at a crossroads?

Many people recognize the danger of submitting to Sharia blasphemy tenets, and so the pressure that is being put on Western societies may well backfire.

Quran burnt, thrown from moving vehicle outside mosque in Germany

Anadolu Agency, July 10, 2023:

Quran was burned and thrown from a moving vehicle in front of a mosque in southwestern Germany, the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB) confirmed Monday.

The incident happened in front of the Mimar Sinan Mosque in the town of Maulbronn, located in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, from a moving vehicle.

Osman Adıbelli, director of the mosque association, said the incident took place on the night of Saturday, July 8.

“After the incident, when we reviewed surveillance footage of our mosque, we saw that an object was thrown in front of the mosque from a vehicle on the main street. Around 4:45 a.m. (0245GMT), our congregation members who came for morning prayers noticed a burned Quran at the entrance of the mosque,” he explained.

Adıbelli said they have filed a criminal complaint over the incident and added: “Due to the reflection of the headlights of the vehicle approaching the front of the mosque we do not know the license plate number or how many individuals were involved in the attack.”…

I would rather the German police spend their time investigating the rape of young German girls by migrants than looking for someone who burned a book, which isn't even against the law.
