Islam prohibits insulting other religions


Islam prohibits insulting other religions

TEHRAN - Islam does not permit its followers to insult other religions, Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said in Tehran on Tuesday during a meeting with Catholicos-Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East Mar Khanania Dinkha IV.
"If we really want to put the Quran's instructions into practice, we should respect other religious faiths. Our religion does not allow us to insult other religions," Rafsanjani noted.

Commenting on the recent calls for the desecration of the Quran in the United States, he said many Christians condemned the move, as was expected.

Dinkha said he hoped that such actions carried out in Western countries would not negatively affect relations between followers of different religions.
He also denounced the desecration of the Quran as a politically-motivated move and said desecration of the Quran is like desecration of the Bible and no true Christian would approve of such actions.
