The Social Reform Society (SRS)

A statement concerning the deliberate abuse of the Holy Quran   under the pretext of freedom of expression in Sweden

In the name of Allah, praise be to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon His Messenger

The Social Reform Society (SRS) strongly condemns and denounces the deliberate abuse of the Holy Qur’an by a group of extremists from the far-right Stramkoros movement led by the Danish-Swedish extremist Rasmussen. The movement, which committed the crime of burning a copy of the Holy Qur’an in the Swedish city of Palma last Friday in a barbaric act, aiming at feeding the spirit of Hate, and provoking the feelings of Muslims in the holy month of Ramadan.

The Swedish police have done nothing effective to prevent this crime except for changing the location of the Stramkoros movement to burn the Holy Quran in order to avoid frictions under the pretext of freedom of expression. The Swedish police thus, enshrine the double European standards that prevent protests against Zionist crimes in Palestine concerning them anti-Semitism.

The Social Reform Society calls on all international, Islamic and Arab organizations to carry out their duty to criminalize incitement to hatred, discrimination and hostility against Islam and Muslims. The (SRS) also condemns all unacceptable acts and calls for the deterrence of those who have carried out such acts in order to preserve the spirit of peaceful coexistence between peoples and to uphold the values of justice and tolerance advocated by Islam.  

The (SRS) appreciates the condemnation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Kuwait in response to the popular and official Kuwaiti stance against the abuse of the Holy Quran and Islamic sanctities.
