Iran calls on Europe to take Islamophobia seriously and effectively

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has urged Europe to firmly combat Islamophobia in light of the recent burning of the Holy Qur'an in Sweden.

The senior Iranian diplomat made the comments on Tuesday while on the phone with Josep Borrell, the EU's top diplomat for foreign affairs.

The discussion took place less than a week after two men burned a copy of the holy Quran outside the main mosque in Stockholm, Sweden, after receiving permission from a Swedish court.

Iran has vehemently condemned the act of sacrilege on several occasions, calling Sweden's chargé d'affaires on one occasion to express its outrage at the horrible affront.

Amir-Abdollahian reiterated Tehran's vehement condemnation of the act of sacrilege and noted how the insult has ruffled the feathers of Muslims all around the world.

Defaming the Noble Qur'an, according to Borrell, "is not the EU's position," and any other conduct that targets faiths is categorically opposed in the eyes of the union.

The recent raid by the Albanian police on the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist camp, which houses an anti-Iran terrorist cult, was also brought up during the talk.

The recent move, according to Amir-Abdollahian, served as a lesson for the European countries that had put their own citizens' security at risk by aiding the organization.

Iran has praised the Albanian government for taking action against the MKO terrorists during the raid on their camp in the city of Tirana's northwest, referring to the operation, which was carried out by the Albanian police, as a "step forward."
