Blogger’s Note: Perhaps there should be a mass ‘burning’ of the Hebrew Talmud and/or Torah outside the local Synagogue every time the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) commits a US-backed atrocity against Palestinians? What about a purging of Hindu texts outside the nearest Ashram or Temple every time the Indian BJP (fascist) government sanctions religiously inspired acts of criminality against Chinese or Islamic people? Race-hate and religious-hate often go hand in hand and are reliant upon one another. Of course, the ‘White’ powers at be have their non-White ‘favourites’ – and have mastered the fine art of bouncing one so-called ‘favourite’ off an another! Yesterday, I witnessed three 12-year-old Hindu boys (in school uniform) in South London walk past a Chinese girl (around 12) who was happily walking a puppy. One boy turned to the other two and said, “A Chinese girl walking a dog – surprised she hasn’t ate it!” So say the boys who emanate from a religious culture that allows for the routine (public) imbibing of cow manure and urine – often ‘fresh’ from bovine posteriors – a spectacle often seen on the streets of India!

TEHRAN, June 29 (Xinhua) — The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman on Thursday strongly condemned Sweden for permitting the burning of Quran that desecrated the Islamic holy book.

The move authorized by a Swedish court is “provocative, unwise and unacceptable,” especially during the Hajj pilgrimage and Muslim Eid al-Adha festival, Nasser Kanaani said in a statement published on the ministry’s website.

He called on the Swedish government to prevent the recurrence of such events, noting insulting holy books is an instance of inciting violence and hatemongering and contradicts the original human rights values.

In Sweden’s capital Stockholm on Wednesday, a person said to be an Iraqi national burned a copy of the Quran outside the central mosque of Stockholm.

In a similar incident in January, Rasmus Paludan, the leader of the Danish far-right political party Hard Line, burned a copy of Quran in front of the Turkish embassy in Stockholm, and repeated the move in front of a mosque in Denmark’s capital Copenhagen a week later.
