The speech of Al-Sayyid Muqtada Al-Sadr which was delivered in front of Swedish embassy in Baghdad on 30 June 2023 as a protest for burning the Holy Quran
In the name of Allah
After greeting and thanks to everyone who demonstrated for his religion, doctrine and home. Having said that
O you who call for democracy and freedom and demand freedom of expression, be fair with yourselves if you aren’t fair with Allah Glory to Him or with the others, if you are defending of freedoms and human rights, you mustn’t double standards; if you say that (bur…ning the flag of LG…BT society) is considered: (big hat…red crime) as America and the like hastened to say that so why don’t you consider (bur…ning the Holy Quran) is big hatred crime? Inevitably, the lovers of Holy Quran are more than those who want (the same se…x marriage); therefore, there is incitement on hat…ing millions of those who profess this religion in (burning the Holy Quran)! What is the matter with you, how do you judge?! If you said (burning the Holy Quran) is bur…ning to a book which incites to (terrorism) and kil…ling. We say: engaging in the LG…BT society and spread it among the people will cause effacing of the progeny and there is clear violation on life core: (the family): the father, the mother and children. If you said the progeny must be reduced. We said: reducing it can’t be through spreading the fornication
Allah who created you and us is undertaking their life and death not you, then it can’t be said that: (bur…ning the Holy Quran) will not cause kil…ling and blo…od whereas we say : (Burning the flag of LG…BT also doesn’t cause kil…ling but what we want is: to guide them from abnormal and deviated thoughts and cure them from this dangerous se…xual disease; there is difference between the (sacred Quran) and (hat…eful fornication) but you sanctify the fornication and we sanctify the truth, but you are people who exceed the limits. Therefore, either you permit to bu…rn both of them I mean: (the Holy Quran) and (LG…BT flag) because both of them is application of freedom of opinion or prohibit both of them because: it is (big hat…red crime) and incitement on violation; it can’t prevent bur…ning the Holy Quran without bur…ning the LG…BT flag; if you prevented burning the Holy Quran, the matter would not reach to burn the LG…BT flag because there is clear encroachment on the truth, guidance, justice and peace in bur…ning the Holy Quran. I advise the West not to hear the Quran interpretation of abnormal doctrine which Al-Newasib and Umaween followed it (cur…se of Allah be upon them) and no to their terroristic deeds, Islam is Islam of infallibility, Islam of righteousness, reformation, peace, love and high morals, as you will not declare enmity to Islam therefore Islam will not declare enmity to you whereas Allah said
This day the pure things are made lawful for you; and the food of the people given the Book(s) is lawful for you – and your food is lawful for them – and likewise are the virtuous Muslim women and the virtuous women from the people who received the Book(s) before you when you give them their bridal money – marrying them, not committing adul…tery nor as mistresses; and whoever turns a disbeliever after being a Muslim, all his deeds are wasted and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter
And because all of us are from the followers of Heavenly religions therefore I advise all West and Sweden in particular not to antagonize Allah and His religion otherwise their fate will be like people of A’ad and Thamud and France now who prevented veil. Fear Allah if you believe in Him and apply the democracy and freedom in right way and don’t double standards because it is lie, hypocrisy, aberration and misguiding. Know that you antagonize the humanity and mankind in spreading the same se…x marriage and they will antagonize you; and you antagonize the Heaven and it will antagonize you; so wait and I’m waiting with you
Finally, I say as Allah said in His great Holy Quran: Say (o dear prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon you and upon your family), “O people given the Books! Come towards a word which is common between us and you, that we shall worship no one except Allah, and that we shall not ascribe any partner to Him, and that none of us shall take one another as lords besides Allah” ; then if they do not accept say, Be witness that only we are Muslims
Allah the High, the Great and His noble messenger have spoken the truth
