Kuwait announced this week that it will print thousands of copies of the Quran in Swedish to be distributed in the Nordic country, calling it an effort to educate the Swedish people on Islamic “values of coexistence.” The plan was announced after the desecration of a Quran during a one-man anti-Islam protest that Swedish police authorized in Stockholm last month.
Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah said the Public Authority for Public Care would print and distribute 100,000 translated copies of the Muslim holy book in Sweden, to “affirm the tolerance of the Islamic religion and promote values of coexistence among all human beings,” according to the country’s state news agency Kuna.
On June 28, Salwan Momika, a 37-year-old Iraqi Christian who had sought asylum in Sweden on religious grounds, stood outside the Stockholm Central Mosque and threw a copy of the Quran into the air and burned some of its pages.
The stunt came on the first day of Eid-al-Adha, one of the most important festivals on the Islamic calendar, and it triggered anger among Muslims worldwide. Protests were held in many Muslim nations, including Iraq, where hundreds of angry demonstrators stormed the Swedish embassy compound.
CBS News sought comment from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Kuwaiti government’s announcement, but did not receive a reply by the time of publication.
The U.S. State Department condemned the desecration of the Quran in Stockholm, but said Swedish authorities were right to authorize the small protest where it occurred.
“We believe that demonstration creates an environment of fear that will impact the ability of Muslims and members of other religious minority groups from freely exercising their right to freedom of religion or belief in Sweden,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said. “We also believe that issuing the permit for this demonstration supports freedom of expression and is not an endorsement of the demonstration’s actions.”
The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution Wednesday condemning the burning of the Quran as an act of religious hatred. The U.S. and a handful of European nations voted against the resolution, which was introduced by Pakistan on behalf of the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), arguing that it contradicts their perspectives on human rights and freedom of expression.
which book we talking about here? the Quran or the bible?
Jesus married a 9 year old?
2(3 really…) retarded books. Let’s waste time arguing which is the most retarded. They’re the same.
I agree but as I try to not be an ignorant fool about stuff like a religious person would be I was surprised about that statement. Turned out the statement was a falsehood so…
Congrats, you killed that straw man!
Convenient how people always forget that Bible contains more than just the hippie fairy tale about Jesus.
Except the bible doesn’t even say that so… It’s still full of other bullshit of course …
His mother was between 12 and 14 when he was born lol. So God impregnated a child with himself in the lore.

According to wikipepia, “No historical document tells us how old she actually was at the time of the Nativity” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary,_mother_of_Jesus
Also, 12 is 3 years older than 9.
So that is a no then I take it?
Sorry your gotcha is that it wasn’t the son it was the father? They’re both god dipshit. These Nazi fucks don’t even know their own religion.
The father who’s up in the clouds somewhere looking down on us? That seem like a bullshit story if I ever saw one.
The almighty being who could do whatever it wants because it’s all-powerful but for some reason cares about whether you touch your peepee?
