Condemning Insult to the Holy Quran
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Surely We have revealed the Reminder, and surely We are its Guardian.
(The Holy Quran, 15 :9(
The insane, hateful, and disgusting insult to the Holy Quran in the
United States which took place under police protection is a bitter and
important event which cannot be considered as only an insane move by a
number of worthless mercenaries. This is a calculated move by centers
which have pursued the policy of Islamophobia and anti-Islamism for
many years. And they have fought against Islam and the Holy Quran by
using hundreds of methods and thousands of propaganda and operational
tools. This is another link in the disgraceful chain that was formed
by the treachery of the apostate Salman Rushdie and was continued by
the hundreds of anti-Islam Hollywood movies and the move by the wicked
Danish caricaturist. These moves have now led to this hateful theatre.
Who and what is behind these evil moves?
Analyzing this evil process - which was accompanied during the recent
years by criminal operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon,
and Pakistan - leaves no doubt about the fact that the process is
planned and controlled by the heads of the domineering powers and
Zionist think tanks which wield the greatest influence on the US
government, its military and security organizations, the British
government and some European governments. They are the same people
whom independent and truth-seeking research is increasingly pointing
the finger to at being the main culprits of the events of September
11. That event provided the criminal then-US President with a pretext
to attack Iraq and Afghanistan and he declared a crusade. The same
person announced yesterday - according to reports - that this crusade
has now become complete with the entry into it of churches.
The purpose of the recent disgusting action is on the one hand to
extend opposition against Islam and Muslims to all levels of Christian
communities, to put a religious façade on such opposition, and to gain
support from religious biases and concerns through the use of churches
and priests. On the other hand, they intend to divert the attention of
Muslim nations from the issues and developments of the Muslim world
and the Middle East by causing them to be enraged and offended by this
great offence.
This spiteful action is not simply the beginning of a movement.
Rather, it is one of the stages of the long process of anti-Islamism
that is led by the Zionist regime and the US. All the heads of the
arrogant powers and Aimmatul Kufr [leaders of Kufr] have now stood
against Islam. Islam is the religion of human freedom and morality and
the Holy Quran is the book of mercy, wisdom, and justice. It is the
duty of all freedom seekers of the world and followers of Abrahamic
religions to stand by Muslims and oppose the evil policy of
Islamophobia which is being carried out through such disgusting
methods. The heads of the US government will not be acquitted of
complicity in this hideous event through their use of hollow and
deceiving remarks. All the rights and honor of millions of innocent
Muslims in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Pakistan as well
as what they hold sacred have been trampled underfoot for many years.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, tens of thousands of
men and women have been enslaved and tortured, thousands of children
and women have been abducted, and millions of people have been
paralyzed and disabled. What have they fallen victim to? Why do
western media introduce Muslims as the symbol of violence and Islam
and the Holy Quran as a danger for humanity despite all such
innocence? Who can believe that this vast plot is probable and
practical without the assistance of the Zionist circles operating
within the US government?
Muslim brothers and sisters from Iran and all parts of the world,
I deem it necessary to mention a few points to everyone.
First, this event and the preceding events clearly show that what is
being targeted by the global arrogant powers is the essence of Islam
and the Holy Quran. The blatant opposition of the arrogant powers
against the Islamic Republic is a result of the clear opposition of
the Islamic Republic against the global arrogance. And pretending not
to be hostile towards Islam and other Muslims is a great lie and evil
deception. They are opposed to Islam and everyone who is committed to
it. They are opposed to all signs of being a Muslim.
Second, this chain of spiteful actions against Islam and Muslims is
the result of the fact that the light of Islam has been brighter than
ever before during the past few decades and that the influence of
Islam on the hearts has been increased more than ever before both in
the Muslim world and even in the west. These actions are the result of
the fact that the Muslim world is more aware than ever before and that
Muslims are determined to break the chain of two centuries of
domination and invasion by the arrogant powers. The insult to the Holy
Quran and the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) is an event which represents a
great promise despite its bitter nature. The brilliant rays of the
Holy Quran will become brighter on a daily basis.
Third, we should all know that the recent event has nothing to do with
churches and Christianity. And the puppet-like moves of some insane
priests and mercenaries should not be written down in the record of
Christians and their religious men. Muslims will never do similar
actions with regard to what is held sacred in other religions. Public
discord among Muslims and Christians is exactly what the enemies and
those who planned this insane theatre desire. And what the Holy Quran
has taught us is the opposite of what they did.
Fourth, it is now the US government and its policymakers that all
Muslims hold responsible. If they are honest in claiming that they are
not involved in the events, they should properly penalize the main
elements behind this great crime and the perpetrators of this crime
who caused pain in the hearts of one and half billion Muslims.
Greetings be upon Allah"s pious servants
