A Stockholm mosque condemns the latest attack on its facility after a damaged copy of the Quran was left chained up and hanging outside its entrance
“The Quran is sacred in Islam; it is the word of God. Burning the Quran, therefore, becomes enormously hurtful for us Muslims,” says Imam and director of the Stockholm Central Mosque.
Images released by the Stockholm Central Mosque of the attack last Friday show the damaged Holy book of the Muslims chained up and hanging from an iron railing outside the mosque.Tying a destroyed Quran and hanging it to the garden bars next to the mosque door is humiliating for Muslims, the mosque wrote on Facebook.
A statement said the mosque decided to share photographs and information “to attract the attention of both our congregation and the public, and to prevent hate crime from being normalised,” it said.
