They think that the verses of the Quran are inciting ISIL and the Taliban to commit crimes.

A week ago, when the Swede burned the Holy Quran, I wrote a detailed article condemning his action. But after that, several people told me that you did an excellent job condemning the burning of the Holy Quran in Sweden, but you did not say what is the reason that they burn and tear the Holy Quran.

Based on this principle, I consider it my duty to provide you with a commentary on why they do not respect the Holy Quran ...

Why do Swedes always insist on burning the Quran?

First, I must write that this action is an ignorant response to ignorance. Secondly, the Swede burned only that paper, manuscript, and cover, which Muslims can print a million such copies tomorrow. It can be printed better by correcting errors, but Muslim clerics sell the verses of the Koran for little money and distort them, disrespecting its rulings.

Muslim leaders are violating the verses and commandments of the Qur'an with their autocratic actions.

Many Muslims, contrary to the rules and instructions of the Koran, incessantly slander, deceive, steal, slander, rob the property of orphans and lie everywhere and always.

After this introduction, I will also mention the reasons for the ugly and ignorant behavior of this Swede.

1 - The Swedish protester considered that the actions of some groups that support ignorance and violence, such as ISIL, Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and ignorant muftis, come from the verses of the Koran.

When he sees an ISIS militant shouting takbir (Allahu Akbar), massively raping and enslaving Yazidi girls, burning Muslim temples and mosques, and showing no mercy to non-Muslim children, men, and women, he thinks that the source of all this violence and ignorance is the Koran. Here, his complex explodes and he sets fire to the Quran as an inspiration for violent acts.

2 - When he sees that a group called "defenders of Islam" forbids girls to study and women to work and participate in society, he thinks the Koran is sexist and racist, hence, it should not be. Although he knows that burning a copy of the Quran will not destroy it, since he cannot punish Mullah Haybatullah Akhundzadeh, Abubakr al-Baghdadi, Sayf al-Adla, and Mufti Waliurrahman, leader of the Pakistani Taliban, he vents his anger on the Quran.

3 - When he sees how Muslims fight each other, destroy their own homes and property, and after fleeing and emigrating to non-Islamic countries continue to commit theft, violence, and breaking the law, he still thinks that it is the Koran that encourages his followers to kill their own and outsiders.

In fact, these Swedes are telling ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the Taliban, don't kill, don't rape, don't deprive people of their freedom, don't close school doors, end house arrest of women, and end gender discrimination. If the Qur'an commands you to commit these heinous and violent acts, I have saved you from its evil...

However, the Swedes do not have enough strength to reach the seller of the Quran, who violates the verses and rules of the Quran and sows crime and violence by reading its verses. For this reason, the easiest reaction is to burn the written copy of the Quran. They think that maybe the verses of this book made the brain and heart of this ISIS and the Taliban do such actions, so instead of pointing the finger at the Swedes, we should point the fist in our direction.

Burning the Koran is stupid and hurts the hearts of true Muslims, for this reason, they protest and attack the Swedish embassies and condemn the Swedes, although the majority of that society does not know the essence of the matter and does not accept such actions as burning the Holy Koran.
