According to the university's public relations office, Dr. Rezai Noor, the head of Qom Industrial University, condemned the act of disrespect towards the Quran and the insult to the sanctities of Muslims in Sweden. The full text of this message is as follows:
In the name of God
The outrageous insult to the Quran under the guise of freedom of expression shows that the aim of imperialist attacks is the very essence of Islam and the Quran. Despite the conspiracies of imperialism, the Quran shines brighter day by day, and the future belongs to Islam.. His Excellency the Supreme Leader (may his shadow last forever)
The shameless act of the Swedish government in granting permission to burn the Quran in front of one of the mosques in Stockholm is indicative of the enemies' extreme despair. Given the increasing unity among Muslims in holding more glorious Hajj ceremonies and celebrating the joyous Eid al-Adha, the fear and terror of our enemies have overwhelmed them, prompting such a petty act of burning the Quran to express their rage and disgust.
Our enemies know that Muslims, regardless of race or nationality, draw their unity, solidarity, empowerment, and dignity from the teachings of the Quran. For this reason, by insulting our sacred beliefs, they seek to undermine the status and dignity of the Quran.
On behalf of the loyal community of Qom Industrial University, I firmly condemn this insulting act in Sweden and hope that through the unity of Muslims and freedom seekers worldwide, such shameless actions are prevented from recurring.
