(Anadolu) The desecration of a Quran by a French national in Greece’s Western Thrace region this week was meant to disturb public peace in the region, said one of the Turkish minority’s elected religious leaders on Friday.
In his Friday sermon at a mosque in the village of Ilica Kaplicalar (Ano Thermai) in the Iskece (Xanthi) province, where the provocative act took place, elected Mufti Mustafa Trampa stressed that harming human dignity and attacking sacred values cannot be regarded as freedom.
Also stressing that freedom is about respecting everyone’s beliefs and thoughts, he said opposing such attacks is a common duty of all people, not just Muslims.
