Does NATO take into account feelings of its Muslim friends and condemn the burning of the Koran?

The burning of the Noble Qur’an in the Swedish capital Stockholm still echoes in Islamic capitals, and just as there was a condemnation against this heinous act, the question arises about the reaction of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which was silent and did not condemn what was done by the extreme right in Sweden.

With strict security protection from the Swedish police, the leader of the Danish “hard line” party, Rasmus Paludan, burned copies of the Qur’an, and the security services prevented anyone from approaching him while committing a provocative act, despite Swedish laws prohibiting any actions or actions that lead to hurting the feelings of others. Islamic countries and capitals, interactors, and tweeters confirm that what Rasmus did in Al-Waddan crossed the red lines, as well as the limits of freedom of expression, but the matter did not stop at the condoning or conspiring of the Swedish state, which wanted revenge against Turkey, the Islamic state that refuses to join NATO, so it hurt the feelings of Muslims in all over the globe. It has gone beyond the fact that NATO, which is trying and working to improve the image of the Swedish state in order to make the process of joining its ranks a success, has not condemned or denounced what happened on its soil and under the direct supervision of its government, according to what was evident from the security guards of the extremists in Al-Waddan and the individual condemnation by the Swedish ministers and government. It was limited to tweets on personal pages on social networking sites, while the clear and explicit official statement was absent.

Comments and opinions confirm that the authorities in Sweden are condemned and accused of “extremism and collusion with promoters of Islamophobia”, criticizing the “duplicity of the West” and its condoning of campaigns targeting Islam and its symbols, and condemning the silence of NATO, which seeks to include Sweden in its ranks, and demands that it take into account the feelings of its friends and allies from Arab and Islamic countries, and stopping the project to include them in the alliance, as they have become a country tweeting outside the flock of Atlantic countries that call for the protection of religious feelings, positions and political opinions

It is noteworthy that Swedish law guarantees the right to freedom of expression and dissemination of ideas regardless of their content, but that right may be avoided when freedom of expression is used in a way that threatens national security interests, offends the reputation and rights of others, or incites against ethnic groups, and so on. According to Swedish law.
