“One shouldn’t as part of political struggle cross the boundaries of humaneness and desecrate holy things,” Legoyda said on his Telegram account on Monday as he insisted that no one is allowed to insult something that’s sacred for another person.
The statement came two days after Rasmus Paludan, leader of Swedish far-right political party Hard Line, burnt a copy of the holy Quran during a protest near the Turkish embassy in Stockholm.
It is a third time that the Swedish government has allowed extremists in the country to burn copies of the holy Quran.
The sacrilegious act has triggered condemnations from countries and entities around the world including from Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Jordan, Morocco, the International Union of Muslim Scholars, the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement, Palestine’s Hamas and Islamic Jihad and Egypt’s Al-Azhar University.
