Sweden implements the new dimensions of terrorism in the West
If we recognize terrorism as a behavior that causes security crises and global challenges and violates the rights of countless people, burning the holy book of the Quran can clearly be evaluated as an act of terrorism.
NOURNEWS - "Rasmus Paludan", the anti-Islamic leader of the far-right Danish party "Stram Kurs", set fire to the Holy Quran on January 21, in front of the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, in an offensive act.
This open anti-Islamism and violation of the basic rights of other human beings, that was accompanied by ignoring opposing thoughts, faced widespread protest and condemnation by the governments and nations of the world.
In a thought-provoking move, Swedish police spokesperson Olla Stirling admitted that they had given a green light to an extremist group to insult the Holy Quran.
Meanwhile, Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström tried to justify this action with a tweet and wrote:
"Islamophobic provocative actions are terrible. Sweden enjoys extensive freedom of speech, but this does not mean that the Swedish government or myself support the opinions expressed."
Although Western statesmen and media have decided to link the recent attack on Islamic sanctities to the nationalistic tensions between Sweden and Turkey and seek to reduce the reactions, but a fundamental look at what is happening in Sweden and Western countries shows that the structure of their defective culture has caused an incorrect understanding of freedom of speech to prevail in these societies.
The Swedish government's complicity with these attacks can be seen as a continuation of the trend of anti-Islamic and racist behaviors that govern the structure of liberal democracy and the capitalist system in Western countries, as in recent weeks, the French magazine Charlie Hebdo published offensive cartoons against religious figures and the Western media also covered these crimes on a wide scale.
Previously, in August of this year and with the more tangible support of the police, desecration of the Holy Quran and insulting of Islamic holy subjects, took place in front of the Hamburg Islamic Center in Germany on the mourning days for the third Imam of Shiites, Holy Imam Hossain.
The leaders of the West, including the Swedish statesmen, are using the keyword of freedom of speech, that has been emptied of the meaning, while in these countries, supporting Islam and Muslims, or asking questions about the Holocaust, or questioning Western values is considered a crime and is accompanied by the most severe attacks and condemnations
Removing Islamist posts or even images of resistance leaders on social media such as Twitter and Instagram is also a manifestation of this cultural tyranny and against the alleged freedom of expression.
The fate of the great French philosopher and historian Roger Garaudy, who was arrested and punished only for asking questions about the Holocaust, and was even assaulted in court, is not something that the world will forget.
The history of the West shows that whenever the internal situation of these countries enters a crisis, they seek to divert public opinion from within and direct it to a direction beyond the economic and political demands of their people, by creating a marginal space.
If we recognize terrorism as a behavior that causes security crises and global challenges and violates the rights of countless people, burning the holy book of the Quran can clearly be evaluated as an act of terrorism.
More funny and of course more unfortunate that; At the same time, in an action that is far from logic, these same terrorists put men and women who have fought with real terrorism such as ISIS in the list of terrorist organizations.
