[Iran Press] Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani has called for the creation of a new international charter to prevent the desecration of all divine religions.
| "Pay attention to meeeeeee!" |
In a letter to parliament speakers of the world, Larijani condemned the recent desecration of the Koran in the US and called on the International Organization of Parliaments (IPU) to facilitate the creation of the charter.
"Today people with extremist and dangerous thoughts have created challenges through their anti-Islamic words and actions such as the publication of the Satanic Verses, the blasphemous Danish cartoons [of Prophet Mohammad (PTUI!)], films such as Fitna and Surrender, and now their recent desecration of the Mohammedan holy book," read the letter carried by ISNA.
Controversial lawmaker Geert Wilders produced a 14-minute film called Fitna (ordeal) designed to instigate Islamophobia and hatred towards Islam.
| Because quoting the Koran and showing actions inspired by those words instigates fear and hatred of Islam? Why is that so, d'you suppose? |
Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard published blasphemous cartoons of Islam's Prophet Mohammad (PTUI!). The cartoons were first published on September 30, 2005 in Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, and reprinted repeatedly in newspapers in over 50, mostly Western, countries.
The moves were all met with fierce criticism from the international community. In many countries, including Iran, massive demonstrations were held to condemn the move.
| You'll notice that the world does not care about such demonstrations in Iran, no matter how massive. So sorry. |
