FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A statement released by the ministry on Sunday read burning the Qur’an was a new instance of disregard for human rights and international law by foreign military forces in Afghanistan and for the sanctities of the world Muslims.
“Disrespect for Muslim beliefs stems from an incorrect understanding of the religious culture of the Muslim people of the region and the world by Afghanistan’s occupiers,” the statement added.
The statement pointed out that this is not the first time international law has been violated by US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan, warning that repetition of such acts would only garner more hatred for these forces.
Condemning desecration of the Holy Qur’an by US-led forces in Afghanistan, the ministry emphasized on the necessity of the withdrawal of foreign military forces from the country.
Any measure that results in prolonging the presence of these (foreign) forces in Afghanistan, including the signing of a strategic pact between Washington and Kabul, will not only increase insecurity in the country (Afghanistan) but also pose a serious threat to the entire region.
On February 20, US soldiers burned the copies of Qur’an and other Islamic texts at the US-run Bagram Airbase, southeast of the city of Charikar in the Afghan province of Parwan.
Following the Qur’an desecration US President Barack Obama sent a letter to his Afghan counterpart Hamed Karzai, apologizing for the actions of American forces in Afghanistan. Obama told Karzai that the incident was not intentional.
The incident has sparked angry protests against US and NATO forces in Afghanistan and other Muslim countries.
Afghans have rejected the apology and demanded an immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops from their country. Anti-US demonstrations in the country have now entered their fifth consecutive day.
More than 35 people, including two US troops, have been killed as a result of violent clashes over the past few days.
