“The tolerance of such heinous acts that offend the sensibilities of millions of people in Europe threatens the practice of peaceful coexistence,” he says.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the recent Koran burning incidents in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands “by the same charlatan who hates Islam”.
As Manolis Kostidis reports from Istanbul, the Turkish Foreign Ministry speaks of “dangerous dimensions of religious intolerance and hatred in Europe” and calls on governments to take action.
“The tolerance of such heinous acts that offend the sensibilities of millions of people in Europe threatens the practice of peaceful coexistence,” he says.
The announcement in detail
“We condemn in the strongest possible terms that the hate crime committed in Sweden against our holy book, the Holy Quran, has been allowed to be committed in Copenhagen, Denmark again, by the same Islam-hating charlatan..
The fact that this heinous act, which took place in Denmark after Sweden and the Netherlands, was not prevented despite our warnings is disturbing as it reveals the dangerous dimensions of religious intolerance and hatred in Europe by abusing the so-called environment of freedom. .
The tolerance of such heinous acts that offend the sensibilities of millions of people in Europe threatens the practice of peaceful coexistence and causes racist, xenophobic and anti-Islamic attacks that occur every day somewhere in Europe.
We remind governments of their responsibilities if they remain indifferent to these actions that marginalize Muslims, who are an integral part of European society.
We also call on them not to remain inactive, as – the global values they claim to defend – are being trampled upon”
