While the reactions to the anti-Islamic Rasmus Paludan and his group from Turkey and the world grew like an avalanche, non-governmental organizations in Turkey also condemned the events with their statements.
YILDIRIM: "IT'S CLEAR THOSE WHO HAVE DARK PLANS ON EUROPE AND ISLAMIC WORLD HAVE A HAND IN THIS INCIDENT!”
Muhittin Hamdi Yıldırım, Chairman of the Association of Religious Officials (Din-Bir-Der), harshly condemned the attempts against our holy book and said, "While persecution against Muslims continues in Masjid al-Aqsa, this time in Sweden, under the supervision of the police, the cremation sessions of the Holy Qur’an have begun. As the Association of Religious Officials, we never accept these persecutions and sessions. We curse and condemn in the strongest terms those who did or leaded to do and these provocative events. We invite the European and Swedish authorities to show common sense in the face of these dark events. No one has the right to attack, insult or provoke Muslims in Europe. It should be known that in the igniting of these events, it is obvious that those who have dark plans on Europe and Islam have a hand. We hope that Muslims living in Europe, Turkey and the Islamic world will act in such a way that cannot be manipulated, we take refuge in Allah Almighjty, who will foil the traps set by the enemies of Islam, and invite everyone to common sense."
TURHAN: “WE KNOW THAT GLOBAL FORCES ARE IN THE BACKGROUND”
In his statement, Anatolian Youth Association (AGD) and National Youth Foundation (MGV) Chairman Salih Turhan said, “We welcome the abominable actions against the Qur'an, which is actually the only recipe for salvation and which must be fully embraced by human beings, with both admonition and anger. We salute the reflexes of our Muslim brothers and the actions taken on legitimate grounds. We know that such actions are not only planned by certain individuals, but there are some global powers in the background. These are a handful of evil networks that have taken over the world economically, according to the world population. Our struggle with them has been continued since Prophet Adam and will continue. We believe this. However, we appeal to everyone who has not lost their fairness and conscience, which constitutes the majority of the earth: The Qur'an is the word of Allah Almighty. It is a book not only for Muslims, but for all people living on earth. It is the only address to solve all the crises that today's humanity has entered. Let this be an occasion, let's get together around the Qur'an. This is the only way to establish world peace and a dignified life.”
