Statement on Salwan Momika’s burning of the Qur’an in Sweden
The desecration of the Holy Qur’an in Sweden happened again. This time it was committed by an Iraqi immigrant named Salwan Momika in front of a mosque in Stockholm on 29 June 2023. He trampled and then burned the Qur’an in front of Muslim residents who were celebrating Eid al-Adha 1444 H. Although he has now been detained by the Swedish government, waves of protests are still happening around the world.
In response to the incident, Jamaah Ansharu Syariah states:
- Strongly condemn the incident and demand the Swedish government to punish Salwan and other islamophobic activist groups/individuals such as Rasmus Paludan with the severest punishment.
- Demand the UN (United Nations) to take firm action against countries that still legalise Islamophobic practices under the pretext of freedom of expression as a form of realisation of the UN Resolution on Islamophobia at the UN General Assembly on 15 March 2022.
- Call on the Islamic world to boycott Swedish products as a lesson for the absence of the state in taking action against its citizens who have disturbed the world.
- Consider Salwan to have displayed real ignorance in the midst of information disclosure and calls for world peace.
- The Islamophobia that Western countries continue to nurture to suppress the development of Islam by stigmatising Muslims is useless.
Thus our statements, hopefully Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala protects and glorifies Islam and the Muslim. Amien Yarobbal Alamin
Hasbunallahu wani’mal wakiil, ni’mal maula wa ni’mannashiir.
