The Danish Parliament has passed a law that prohibits the burning of the Quran in this country. This law criminalizes "mishandling of texts of importance to members of a religious community."

"Salvan Momika", a radical Iraqi immigrant, desecrated the holy Quran in the city of Malmö, Sweden, this Sunday. It is also said that this desecration was done with the presence and support of the Swedish police, and a number of people who had gathered to protest this act were arrested by the police.

Expressing his anger and disgust at the burning of the Holy Quran, the holy book of Muslims, the leader of the world's Catholics rejected and condemned this action in the name of freedom of speech.

Ayatollah Sistani described the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden as "insulting" and said: Freedom of speech cannot justify the desecration of holy things.
