Taliban urge Muslim world to reconsider interaction with Sweden over Quran desecration
ISLAMABAD (AA): Afghanistan’s interim Taliban administration has urged the Muslim world to reconsider its interaction with Sweden as it announced a complete ban on Sweden’s activities in the country following the recent desecration of a copy of the Holy Quran in Stockholm.
In a statement, the interim administration said the ban will remain in effect until Sweden apologizes to Muslims for this heinous act.
“. . . the Islamic Emirate suspends Sweden’s activities in Afghanistan until they apologize to the Muslims for this heinous act,” tweeted Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.
Last month, a fanatic Islamophobe identified as Salwan Momika desecrated a copy of the Quran under police protection in front of the Stockholm Mosque in Sweden.
His provocative act was timed to coincide with Eid al-Adha, one of the major Islamic religious festivals.
It elicited widespread condemnation from across the Islamic world, including Türkiye, Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Senegal, and Mauritania.
