Khamenei is clear: the freedom of expression must go, or Sweden and other Western countries are going to face increasing and relentless hostility from the Islamic world.
This is music to the ears of the authoritarian Leftists who run the nations of Europe and North America, as they hate the freedom of expression, too.
“Ayatollah Khamenei Urges Punishment for Man Who Desecrated Quran in Sweden,” Tasnim News Agency, July 22, 2023:
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei denounced the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden as a bitter and perilous plot, urging the Swedish government to hand the perpetrator over to the Muslim countries’ judicial systems for the harshest punishment.
“Effrontery to the sacred realm of ??the Holy Quran in Sweden is a bitter, conspiratorial and dangerous incident. The severest punishment for the perpetrator of this crime is the consensus view of all Islamic scholars,” the Leader said in a message on Saturday.
“The Swedish government should also know that by supporting a criminal, it has taken a war stance against the Islamic world and attracted the hatred and enmity of the Muslim nations and many of their governments,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
“The responsibility of that government is to hand over the perpetrator of the crime to the judicial systems of Islamic countries,” the Leader noted, Press TV reported.
