TEHRAN, (MNA) – Condemning the Qur'an desecration in Sweden, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman called on the Swedish government to take practical measures to promote peaceful coexistence between the people of different religions.
Following the repetition of the shameful act of insulting the Qur'an in Sweden, senior Iranian diplomat Nasser Kan'ani said that desecrating Islamic sanctities is against the basic principles of human rights and the world will not forget that such hate-mongering actions were carried out in the presence of the Swedish police.
Iran believes that the condemnations of the Swedish authorities are not enough in this regard and expects the Swedish government to strictly adhere to the fundamental principles of human rights and strive to promote ethics and the peaceful coexistence of religions, he added.
Kan'ani went on to say that the Swedish government should also respond to the most obvious demand of Muslims and monotheists in the world by taking practical and effective measures.
The Swedish media reported on Friday that Salwan Momika, an Iraqi immigrant living in Stockholm, who had desecrated the Holy Qur'an several times before, received a new permit from the Swedish authorities to repeat the sacrilege in the city of Malmö.
Following the desecration of the Holy Qur'an in Sweden, which was done several times, Iran did not accept the new ambassador of Sweden in Tehran, and the departure of the new ambassador of Iran in Stockholm was stopped until the Swedish government changed its approach in this regard.
