“We have witnessed how political debauchery and permissiveness, cloaked with plausible words about ‘freedom of speech and expression,’ result in inciting inter-religious hatred, insulting the feelings of believers, this time Muslims,” Askaldovich added.
Earlier, Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström described the provocation with the burning of holy scriptures for Muslims as “terrible”, recalling, however, that in Sweden there is freedom of expression.
Recall that the leader of the far-right party Hard Course, Rasmus Paluda, held an anti-Turkish demonstration in front of the Turkish embassy in Stockholm, during which a public burning of the Koran was committed. Turkish authorities strongly condemned the move, with the country’s Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar warning that if Sweden continues to act along the same lines, Ankara’s position on the veto on Sweden’s NATO membership “will be clear.” .
