Iran Press/ Iran News: Reacting to recent Swedish move in desecration of the Holy Qur'an during the Holy month of Ramadhan, Ali Bahadori Jahromi said in his latest tweet:
"Freedom of religion has been replaced by insults against religions and freedom of expression has become a tool for fueling extremism and racism in the west."
"The shameful insult against 2 billion Muslims during Ramadan, with Swedish police support, is an absolute hateful act.", he concluded.
The move was faced by reactions from Iran's high ranking officials.
The Spokesman for Iran's Minsitry of Foreign Affairs, Saeed Khatibzadeh said the blasphemy during the holy month of Ramadan made the Muslims upset and irate throughout the world, including in Sweden:
"The blasphemy is a clear example of hatemongering and in violation of the freedom of expression, and must be condemned by those who believe in coexistence and dialogue between religions."
Ali Nikzad, First Deputy Speaker of Iran's Parliament, described European-style freedom as an absolute dictatorship.
Rasmus Paludan, Leader of a right-wing and anti-Islamic Danish party, also known as the "Hard Line" party, along with his supporters have planned to set the Holy Qur'an on fire in a mainly-Muslim area in the Swedish city of Linkoping. They were forced to leave the place due to the protest of the Muslims and the intervention of the police.
Paludan had previously set fire to the Holy Qur'an in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.
Videos posted on social media show dozens of protesters demonstrating against a far-right group's intention to burn the Holy Qur'an.
Similar clashes erupted in the Swedish city of Malmö last summer, with anti-Islamic groups setting fire to a copy of the Holy Qur'an, leading to street riots.
