The iranian president has once again strongly condemned the recent desecration of the holy quran in some European Countries. Islam is a religion of freedom and equality. The holy quran is also a book of mercy, wisdom and divine words. Insulting the holy quran as the precious miracle of the Prophet Muhammad, is insult to humanity, freedom, values and spirituality. The Islamic Republic of iran strongly condemns such hateful and spiteful acts that occur in some parts of the world of with the aim of spreading islamophobia. These acts also hurt the. Made the comments and a congratulatory message to the leaders and people of muslim countries on the ospicious occasion of the Prophet Muhammads birth anniversary. He also called for the promotion of unity and solidarity among muslim nations. The holy muslim book has been desecrated in the netherlands, sweden and denmark on several occasions this year. The sacriligious acts have taken place with the go ahead given by those countrys authorities and with protection provided by the security forces. Muslim countries across the world have held huge protests condem the profane move. Ab faburi is a religious activist and author who joins us, welcome to the program. You taking a look at this sacriligious act, it has happened a number of occasions uh this year, um, it almost sounds like uh the the countries that are involved. Uh want this repeated occurrence to maybe become something thats normal, what are the gains that they have uh out of uh desicating the holy book in this form and manner, the holy quran . Salam alaikum, first of all eat mubarak to you and your audience and congratulations and the anniversity of Prophet Muhammad and imam sadiqlam, you see the. Mr. Raisi said that quran is the book of mercy, book of peace, book of freedom, let me just read some verses about this thing, for example, when we say freedom, the quran says in chapter 39, verse 18, that give good news to the servants who listen to all words and choose the best, they are the one that god guided and they are the wise people. For the people of understanding, of you cant find a nice message like this in other books, this is the only quran that encourage you, encourages you to search and to choose and you be free to tell your to speak about your understandings, this is the of book of peace, we have some verses in the quran that says that are the rules, for example the quran says, peace is better, say peace is better, you have problem, try to solve it, but know that peace is better, we say quran is the book of mercy, each chapter of the quran we starts with this verse, in the name of god, or name of allah, the most merciful, the most compassionate, we speak of about the mercy of allah, almighty god, and he said, you should try to be like me, you should try to be merciful, so quran and even other scriptures want us to be to have better life, better world, a world full of peace, full of justice, full of mercy, but the enemy they dont want, they want hatred. Burning the book, burning knowledge, is is just hatred, if you you should read it, this is my advice to the people, first read this book and to try to understand the message, and if you have question, ask the the scholars, they will answer you, but burning is just making hatred, and they repeat it, because the problem is that they dont want peace in this world, they dont want mercy, the enemy, they dont want mercy, they want. Hatred, they want war, this is what they want, this is the the reason that they repeat it okay, to spread this hatred in the world, you see the quran and islam, according to quran, all the the the wars are defensive war, it means that we should not start a war, as the quran says, muhammad is the messenger and those who are around him, his followers are against enemy, the are powerful against the enemy and merciful among themselves, they love each other, they care about other believers, okay, this is the message of mercy, the enemy, they dont want this mercy in the world, they dont want peace in the world, they want war, they want hatred, they dont want you, to listen to words of god, quran is the only book in the world that introduces itself as the very words of god, and invites us to to read and think and said, if you think im not from god, try to bring a book like me, or a verse like me or chapter like like me, okay, this is the only world in the only book in the world that introduces itself as the book of god, that is written by god, not. People, there is a revelation, a clearly revelation, this is the only live miracle of god in our time, so you cant destroy knowledge, you cant destroy spirituality, you cant destroy a scripture by burning, its clear, its hatred, it is kind of hate speech and surprising that how some countries they supported this guys. The answer is because they want hatred, they dont want peace, they dont want love in this world, they dont want mercy. When you say they want hatred, along with that, they are portraying muslims in terms of the ones that uh maybe go against it, because they prove these acts in the respect of countries that have given the go ahead for for it to occur, which is a form of not only discrimination, but promotes islamophobia because theyre equating not only the religion, but the people practice that religion, muslims in terms of this hate, do you think that they have a purpose behind that . Of course, you see in islam we have different understandings, one understanding that it is a wahabi understanding sometimes that even the enemy support this understanding, its misunderstanding of islam, okay, a minority, of course, there are minority, but unfortunately. They sometimes in the name of islam they they do against islam like the the terrorist groups that they they do the name of islam like isis and others that the enemies they themselves said that we made them these groups but the clever muslims clever muslim the majority they they that they know islam they know that islam doesnt allow them to uh answer hatred by hatred, they they they are clever, we we never see that a muslim come and burn bible, never, because quran says, you should not be like them like the enemy, we are people of knowledge, people of evidence, okay, we speak, we are people of dialogue, if you have a question, if if you think there is a problem in the quran, okay, are ready, scholars are ready to answer, but as as you said, they want this anger, they want this hatred, but muslims, the majority as as we saw in this days, they didnt burn bible, they didnt, they are clever, they know that islam is the religion of peace, religion of wisdom, religion of reason, okay, and and and real muslims, real, and its not a. Just islam, i think all is about humanity, all human that they want peace in the world, they want love and mercy and justice in the world, they should. Show that this is not good, burning and hatred is not good, like like muslim, you see when we we see in in inside islam or islamic ummah that a group of muslims they do, they do something wrong, and they spread hatred, immediately muslim themselves speak against them, they say they are not from us, this is not the islam, who destroyed isis, muslims, okay, iranian and others, okay . So because its not about islam, its about humanity, its about better world, a peaceful world, its about mercy, its about religion of god, okay, islam clearly says invites us to be united, not just muslims, even we have verses about muslim and we have verses about others, allah in the quran invites people of the book, the jews and christians say come to the world that all of us believe in it, that is god, you want to worship god, we want to serve god, so we have same purpose, and there is just one god that all of us believe in him, so we can be united, so quran is the book of unity, and suppose that in in the world, one day all people, all believers are united, okay, it is bad for devil, for satan, for for enemy, they dont want this.

In our News Review Program we took a closer look at the western support for ukraine in the war with russia. Lets see what i guess had to say. Is the secretary general of the cip foundation joining us from brussels and we also have john stepling, author and commentator who joins us from inderoy norway. Welcome to you both. Let me first start with you, so interesting situation it seems like has evolved here where you have uh the eu pledging uh military aid to ukraine, but based on the most recent stop gag bill as they call it to aver. Shut down, the ukraine bill was not part of that, the us, that is, do you think that uh that is the beginning of the uss decision, or i should say the republicans decision, not to provide more aid to ukraine on the from the us side, well first of all we have to to say that the the entire issue of ukraine has been a misculture. Relation of a Group Leading the Security Sector in the United States, namely mrs. Nouland, as we know, was being promoted over the time to the position where she is today, so it is something that the United States intended as a part of the Security Apparatus of the United States have engaged in with the total miscalculation. That wanted russia to be defeated and possibly even splitted into regions and ukraine has been used to this scope. The European Union has been caught or captured by the Security Apparatus of the United States through nato and has been supporting ukraine with these uh flow words of existential freight and so on. The situation today is that a large number of people in the European Countries despite the continuing propaganda on the media is questioning the decision of the united of the European Union to basically melt with the nato priorities in the United States the the basis who has to vote uh is questioning why to waste so much money and armament in a war that they do not understand and the situation may be changing in the United States if the republican side will prevail in the elections. Okay, john stepling, the eu Foreign Policy chief joseph burell in that particular press conference, made a statement that id like to ask you what you think of it and that is how he portrayed russia as being an existential threat uh to, i think he was referring to the eu, uh, why does he think that russia is an existential threat . I mean, then what should russia think when you have, i dont how many countries are members of nato, who are gunho and ready to go against russia . Well, everything, he was simply, he was simply lying through his teeth about everything, i dont, i dont know that he believe. Any of it, but but there was an opped in the wall street journal, a couple of days ago and and a speech by zelinsky where they openly said we should be, we should be cheering on the defense industry, and zelinski said, lets cut out the middle men and turn ukraine into what he was essentially saying was a massive Industrial Park for the defense industry, come and builder factories here, we will be the arsenal of the western world, and uh, this this was surprisingly candid, actually, they thats thats the goal, because the war is over, the ukrainian soldiers are are surrendering in mass as we speak, in fact, this thing is over, and uh, the us and the defense industry, it may seem like a miscalculation, because they underestimated russia sure, i guess they did, but they certainly have made a massive profit on this, and they intend to continue making a profit, um, and thats what z speech was about, and thats what the wall street of ed was about, the wall street journal of ed, uh, was that that we should, the United States should continue to support the defense industry, the us spends something like, 6 billion dollars a day on defense, it it dwarfs any other country in defense spending, and theyre going escalate that. Thank you so much for that, paulo rofonet, secretary general of the cip foundation. John stepling, thank you. Author and commentator, thank you to you both, with that we come to an end for this edition of the news review, thanks for tuning in, and that is for this edition of world news, do stay with us, coming up next and brief, thats bye bye for now.
