Of course, the necessary reactions will be given to the madman who burns our Qur'an in Sweden and is devoid of reason, conscience and humanity. Of course, we will not be silently watching such an inhuman act against our great book. But I think one more issue should not go unnoticed. First of all, the person who carried out this action is an extreme right-wing anti-Islam. Wouldn't this and similar action be expected from a fierce enemy of Islam? He was not going to take the Qur'an in his hand, kiss it three times and put it on his forehead. Quite normally, as in many anti-Islamic actions done before, he did what he needed to do as an expression of the true view of the superstitious mentality.
 
This event is really important for us Muslims. First of all, this action should be seen as a warning in order to understand the average general character, mentality and mentality of the Western world. We hope that these and similar events will remind us of some forgotten facts, but if these events do not enable us to reconsider the concessions we have made in the name of the Ministry of European Union or entering the European Union, it is meaningless. In the meantime, one thing should not be missed. When we say the West, we make a total slur, but in fact, there are many sensitive people in Western countries who openly show their reactions to the hostility of Islam, and even to the enemies of Islam, and most of them are candidates for becoming Muslims, truthful, honest, and conscientious people with an understanding of rights and justice. We should not overlook them, and even we should use our language by taking these details into account when reacting to wrong practices.
 
To go back to the sad event that happened again, I think we should ask ourselves some questions in the context of this event. For example, what percentage of our reaction to an enemy of Islam who burned the Qur'an do you show to those who act in clear contradiction to the verses of the Qur'an? Can you react to politicians who enact laws contrary to the orders of our Lord in the clear verses of the Qur'an? Can you show the same reactions to those who make statements that are diametrically opposed to Islam? How can you react to those who expressly say "the truth of the world, do not make such things a problem at this time" to things that are forbidden in the Qur'an? To get a little more specific, for example, how many of you have read the Quran even once in your life? How many of you have read any tafsir book from beginning to end, or how many of you know about tafsir? In short, what I want to ask is, is it strange that a madman, who is hostile to Islam, burns the Qur'an, or is it strange that those who say they are Muslims are ignorant of their own supreme book, the Qur'an?
 
There is another important issue. Of course, it is our most natural right to react on some issues, but even when reacting, it is necessary to be measured. Remember, in the Qur'an, our Lord commands Musa (Alayhi Salam) to be soft spoken, even to the pharaoh.
 
You can refer to verse 44 of Surah Tâ-Ha. Our religion is the religion of peace. The religion of Islam wants to create an environment of peace and reaches much more people in an environment of peace.
 
In the Conquest of Mecca, which is the most beautiful example of peace, our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) gave the greatest lessons to all humanity on this issue. The religion of Islam commands to work to keep people alive, to resurrect them, to increase their dignity and to exalt them. It orders us to act on the basis of truth and justice, even if the person in front of us is guilty.
 
For the sake of Allah (SWT), let's not forget what kind of persecution our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) suffered and how forgiving he was.
 
In these blessed days when we enter three months, don't we pray, "My God, you are forgiving, you love to forgive, forgive us too". Or do we not?
