China, on Wednesday, criticised Sweden after a recent incident took place involving the burning of copies of the Muslim holy book, the Quran, Anadolu News Agency reports.
“Freedom of speech cannot be a reason to incite racial or cultural discrimination and tear society apart,” said Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of China’s Foreign Ministry, referring to the incident that triggered widespread condemnation across the Muslim world.
“We hope Sweden can earnestly respect the religious beliefs of minority groups, including Muslims,” Wang said, according to the Chinese daily, Global Times.
Last week, Rasmus Paludan, the leader of the far-right Stram Kurs (Hard Line) group, burned a copy of the Muslim holy book in Sweden’s southern Linkoping city. He also threatened to burn copies of the Quran in future rallies.
Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and a host of Arab and Muslim countries and organisations have condemned the Quran burning, terming the act as provocation and incitement against Muslims.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation was among those that strongly condemned the incident.
Its chief, Hissein Brahim Taha, denounced “the provocative actions of burning copies of the Holy Quran during anti-Muslim demonstrations, which have been taking place in Linkoping, Norrkoping and other cities in Sweden.”
The pan-Muslim organisation said the burning raised Muslim concerns of “the alarming trend of Islamophobia perpetuated by extreme right supporters.”
Pot calling the kettle black. Fuck the Chinese government
Uighurs
respect human rights, sweden tells china
They won the millenium’s satiric award.
Yeah, do like the Chinese and put them in concentration camps instead. Fucking hell the audacity of these jokers.
China lecturing others on democracy and human rights is peak comedy.
Respect Buddhist beliefs of the Tibetan people
>”Freedom of speech cannot be a reason to incite racial or cultural discrimination and tear society apart,” said Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of China’s Foreign Minister
Follow China’s “shinny” example and have none
>”We hope Sweden can earnestly respect the religious beliefs of minority groups, including Muslims,” Wang said, according to the Chinese daily, Global Times.
Once more, like China, make use of (Uyghur) Muslim “reeducation camps”
Kettle, pot, etc. Seriously, take a hike China.
Lol, fucking trolls.
Respect religious beliefs of Tibet, Hun invaders.
It’s like that time when the Taliban asked for peace and diplomacy.
They never miss a chance to take the piss. What was it last time? They were condamning police violence in the US or something
“”Freedom of speech cannot be a reason to incite racial or cultural discrimination and tear society apart”
Burning books is different from burning people and it is legal to burn a book in the West. A book can be used as a toilet paper if we want to. Sure we have a history where “forbidden books” are a **really bad** thing, but in this case the book is not forbidden, it can be printed and anyone who buys it can do anything they want with it.
Anyone having issues with this can of course move out. None is forcing them to stay.
Once again, the dude is a Dane. Sure, he has a Swedish citizenship, but he also has a Danish citizenship, and it’s where he grew up and where his political party operates. Out of the two, he’s clearly more Danish. Not that Denmark should take advice from China on human rights, but I don’t get how all these foreigners cant get this. Have they never heard of anyone crossing a border?
💀🤔
The hypocrisy is staggering
No Hollywood production ever could write story this absurd.
That’s some real-life satire right here
I will stop taking China’s opinions on religious beliefs seriously when they stop putting Muslims in concentration camps
Jesus Christ, I mean I know hypocrisy is the norm in geopolitics and that international relations are mostly an exercnise in shamelessness but, Jesus, this is *really* shameless.
No way this is real
My god the audacity.
Meanwhile Uyghurs are dying in chinese “re-education” camps.

What are they smoking?

It’s not often I do an actual real-life double take, but here we are.
Activate clown vision goggles.
These guys really have no fucking shame or sense of ridiculousness!
Funnily they’ll never ask the Muslims to respect the law of the land for Sweden, or the country that literally had them stay.
The muslims could have condemned the act in a civil way but they just had to burn everything down.
This is a Russian level absurdity call.
doesn’t china have half of their muslims in reeducation camps and used as slaves?
Fuck China they’re coming for us all
Fuck china communist party
*China is putting Muslims in concentration camps, literally commiting a genocide*
*also China: ReSPeCt ThE FeeLiNgS SwEdEn*
What an irony
lmao
What’s next ? Afghanistan asks us to respect women rights ?
China emulating Russian diplomatic absurdities.
Doing a pretty good job so far.
