Pope made the remarks in an interview with the Emirati newspaper Al-Ittihad that was published on Monday, underlining that the move, which was conducted under the guise of freedom of speech, is ruled out and condemned.
He announced that any holy book should be revered in order to show honor for those who believe in it, so “I feel angry and disgusted.”
The issue of freedom of speech should never be used as a pretext to dishonor others; therefore, allowing that behavior is rejected and condemned, the Pope argued.
In a court-authorized act of sacrilege against the Muslim holy book, two men stood outside Stockholm Central Mosque on Wednesday and burned a copy of the Quran.
The sacrilege of the holy Quran has led to widespread condemnations from various Islamic and non-Islamic countries.
On Sunday night, Sweden’s government condemned the desecration of holy Quran in the capital city of the country.
