The UN Human Rights Council has adopted a resolution condemning the burning of the Quran in Sweden last month.
The council passed the motion brought by Pakistan, which labelled the incident, incitement of religious hatred.

Meanwhile OIC (useless body) is in deep sleep 😴
USA zionist fascists and eu Nazis have shown their true colors of anti Muslim rethoric and planed provocations. May Allah gives victory to Russia and China over western fascists 🇷🇺 🇵🇸 ❤️
Why doesn´t Al Jazeera (Qatar) show what the representatives opposing the resolution had to say,
or did the whole thing only take 2 minutes and 26 seconds to pass?
👍 missionaries of Cristinity are working for conversation tribes….. 👍 With wrong means of money , cheats, dishonesty, …. Ban it 👍
Muslim terrorism must be listed in UNO. It is against democracy humanity and non muslim communities 👍
Pakistan is the largest terrorism exporter in the world. It must be black listed 🔥🔥🔥
Sweden should deport that Iraqi man back to Iraq.
It’s just a book what happened to freedom of speech?
Why don’t we also pass a law against blasphemy laws….. So many of my fellow Christian brothers and sisters are killed or jailed for simply not believing Mohammed is a prophet smh
Poor sweden regretting now😂
The so called devine book has reached to such a stage that people are burning them open daylight.. 😅😅😅 The worst to come yet for this so called religion of peace.. 🎉🎉🎉
One muslim burns the fake prophets book.
And another muslim wants to setup laws based on the act, for the non-Muslim world.
All staged drama to conquer.
Meanwhile Indian Muslim holding 25% of population in country facing defamation in name of religion from past 70 years
These western country who vote against ( Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, UK, and USA) are the countrys who hate Islam ans killed milions of people in the midle east with the americans. The only love transgenders, and jews and they want broke familys. Look what they did to Irak, Syrie, Palestine, Libie. Nobody talks about it. But Ukraine is every day in the news. Double western standard. Open your eyes brothers❤❤
Solute to Pakistan
Great to know that Sweden has fallen and cannot handle freedom of speech
MashaAllah ❤
Hypocrisy…when churches burnt in France , yesidis killed? Iraq churches burned..all r silent
hmmm…….wonder if satanic blasphemy laws will be looked at with disapproval with this resolution
FREEDOM OF SPEECH… this is stupid.
Check the hypocrites that voted no. This only burning though. Wouldnt be surprised if they made toilet papers out of holy books
SHAME to European. Even like Argentina, Bolivia, China, India, Ukraine, Vietnam support that ✅
European only support LGBT, other countries will not ❌
SO we can now use this to make schools introduce bibles in schools, as not allowing comes under religious hatred.
When Muslim countries understand that u can frm vote how they feel abt u UK USA etc u still dealing with them
I have hatred against religious people who force their way of life.
2+ billion so called believers most are sheep, it was said in day and the truth has come to light ….
Don’t give oil to these countries against vote and teach them freedom of expression
HOW Burning of a Holy book be part of Freedom of speach? Whoever thinks this NEEDS to go back to Primary School and learn What Freedom of Speach Is, they clearly don’t understand it
you’re burning people and no one is telling you anything, get your “holy” book and throw in gar-bage, for it has many proven mistakes.. you talk like if you understand better than anyone
The Quran is a dumb book and should be burned. The UN has time to waste on such frivolous matters.
Those who didn’t support the decision stand in shame!!!
Dream on

Primary focus is your Lord and Saviour, Allah Almighty, Alone and without partner, The One and Only, To Him everything and everyone belongs and to Him everything and everyone returns.

How about killing of Christians? Hypocrite UN.
Woke people. Now can Christians practice freely in Saudi Arabia? 😂
Who told they already don’t?
Can i practice islam in vatican?
Nice my questions get deleted because people can’t face the truth. Meh..
@marcustya88 keep telling yourself that karen
Seeing that your parents failed in rising you its seems Youtube will get the job done
So i will give you half a year for you to finally grow up and be civilized person
The whole EU’s “religious freedom” stance is just a lip service as the Pakistani representative exposed. Finland too taking the same route as Sweden.
If they read what’s in Quran they will change their mind
Does this also apply to Christianity or only Islam?
What do you think?
Of course all religions the pakistan person said it himself in the Video
About time ,UN retards
In the name of “faith”, I fail to understand condemning at the same time going against the move for the sake of “freedom of speech”! This cannot be dualism in the international diplomacy? People are clever playing at their cards 😂😂😂
This better pertain to all faiths equally. Im tired of the woke garbage that favours certain religions. Also there is a lot persecution of Christians going on around the world. Lets see more coverage of that!!!!!!!!!!!
For those claiming _Freedom of speech/Expression,_ why do you have laws against Slander & Libel?
Amazingly dumb question.
@damienkurast – There are no “dumb questions”, only stupid people who can’t answer them.
@Khaliil bin Ammar If you cant figure out why there are reasonable restrictions on free speech, no one can help you. Its a matter of 5 seconds of thought, to figure that out.
@damienkurast – It takes considerably more than 5 seconds of thought to see the correlation between slander/libel and desecration of religious books and symbols, so,..
I understand.
Peace! 👋
What about religious books of all faiths? And minorities being wiped out in muslim majority countries like pakistan
If they abandon the country and go to the other countries it doesn’t mean that they are being wiped out. Also you can’t justify one crime with another crime. A crime is a crime.
@samiur rafin
Agreed.But where is the resolution in UN Condeming this fanatic jihadi countries?
@lourdes john bro did you forgot about Iraq war started by Gorge Bush, Afghanistan war, Libya and Syria etc. Bro UN and western world is already fighting against those so called jihadis.
it’s a book. A piece of property. Get over it.
How about when muslim burnt 26 churches in africa and killed 10 christian people. I believe this was a total set up. So muslim can have more control. The koran is a mickey book for inbreds
This is a complete lie there is no evidence of it.
Their double standards on human rights and freedom of expression it’s funny their foreign policy also same
All muslim countries should stand united against this. There should be strict laws against people who publicly express hatred towards any religion. Religion is not something which can be denounced publicly on the name of freedom of expression. It should be categorised as a civic crime as lots of sentiments are attached toward any faith. Lack of tolerance and hatred towards any religion should be condemned and denounced everywhere.
Quran burning is wrong.
But are there no other important issues to deal with. There are over at least 1 billion copies of it that are safe and no one burnt
If this will happen again that person will be burnt Insha Allah
Funny how burning a book let alone a religious book is considered human rights. Imagine a teacher telling you and allowing you that. NUTS!
Some stupid to stupid to know if it act of hatred
Shame on the United Kingdom and USA – when it suits them they stifle our freedom of speech by coercing us into bowing to their agendas, yet when it comes to protecting our freedoms they hide under the guise of freedom of speech. They are eating their own hearts out with their hypocrisies.
people who hate islam are pathetic, they know islam is perfect, they mocking islam because they know islam people have perfect humanity, there is compassion, love, forgiveness, etc, so they think muslim can’t get angry?
Thanks ALLAH 🎉 that Muslim and some non Muslim countries pass the resolution of holy Quran burning.
Respect human being is necessary. But more than one billion people’s believing book is not respecting 😢😮.
It is only Nazis that voted against this and call it freedom of speech.
of course UK and USA voted against condemning the Quran burning, but India? that was un expected tbh
Why did the UK not support this resolution. Every red vote would have without a doubt have supported this if it were in support 🏳️⚧️ 🌈 & Israel
Europe: its freedom of speech!
Also Europe: * ban any queries involving Jewish holocaust *
Shame on Saudi Arabia who should be the leading voice of the umah. Trump said King you would not be there for 2 weeks without us
Đù má có cục kẹo mày cũng dành vậy bạn ơi.
Pakistan, a country most known for its love of human rights 🤡
How many qurans destroyed by Taliban suicide bombers targeting mosques?
What Arabs are doing, busy in strenghening their economic status I guess.
Look who says “freedom of expression” LMAO😂
Good 👍 KCR CM OF TELANGANA STATE
Appreciated piece of work 🎉
Free speech has only one limit that is inciting violence not hurting ones feelings.
All the little guys voted YES.. all the power houses like USA, UK, France and Germany voted NO bar CHINA. Says a lot about what the globalists are upto
If we say something about Israel that they don’t like they call it antisemitism but went burning of Al Quran it’s freedom of speech.. what the f#@& is that aa‼️
Those countries don’t believe any freedom of other country and expression in there country against there position like Ukraine war, like Kings family problem. But are concerned about in Sweden case. Fraud and hilarious cruel people this European . So we all should careful in believing this people not like our ancestors do.😅😅😅
There is a difference between freedom of speech and blatantly disrespecting billions of people
Does their resolution include condemnation of the killing of those who even dare question the veracity of the Koran or the killing of those who leave Islam? Probably not. The UN, I wouldn’t send them out for a packet of sweets.
Only Quran is Holy 😂😂😂😂
Emirati’s won’t be happy pakistan was the one who lead the resolution. Since they’re racist and don’t even know one reason pakistan became poor is because white british men stole the resources and wealth from that region. And they had to get someone else to dig up the oil for them
Freedom of speech should not lead to physical or psychological harm to someone else..
An ancient huge temple in pakistan , dating back to pre-islamic era was destroyed using missile yesterday by jihadi groups with the help of police personal. Did UNHRC condemn this atrocity ? No , why ? Because destroying Temple is not Hindu phobia according UN charter. European Christian union donot consider missile attack on temple as violence. Both jihadis and crusaders have deferent defenition of hatred.
Meanwhile, Hindu temples are being demolished in Pakistan. Request Aljazeera to cover this as well. Everyday, there is some atrocity in Pakistan, no news comes-up on Al jazeera.
Mosques are getting destroyed in india so shut up😅
We never accept this kind of freedom of expression
Best then that you don’t travel to any country that has freedom of expression, problem solved.
This is maddening.. freedom of speech, freedom of whatever must have boundaries, some of it is RELIGION. If you dont want to be limited by some boundaries, just be animal.
Why do you consider your religion beyond criticism , ridicule or mockery ?
@H K Phooey it’s not about MY religion, it’s about ALL RELIGION, and you are just one of those irrational people or should I say, animal that I I speak off 😐
BS United states and UK
I AM VERY HAPPY THAT I AM MUSLIM ❤❤❤ AND I THANK ALLAH” GOD THAT I BORN MUSLIM MASHA”ALLAH”❤❤❤
No holy book should be burnt or torn to pieces. All religions must be respected and their followers should be allowed to practice their faith in peace. Very few understand this. May God guide us all to the right path.
I agree that books should not be burnt as a general rule but there is a reason behind Quran burning and that is a demonstration of freedom of expression in the face of threats of extreme violence from the followers of Islam . I would much prefer people actually read the Quran and then they would see why aspects the ideology have to be questioned and debated, freely and openly, even if it hurts the religious sensitivities of one group.
Hindus and Hindu temples attacked in Pakistan is also religious hatred.
Suprising all the defenders of human rights voted No…lol
how can burning someones holy book be freedom of expression?
its not even environmentally friendly. How does this make sense?
This has me split. Because as much as a disagree with something. I find the idea of preventing that by law when it is not physical harm or some sort of theft involved difficult. I worry that preventing that might lead laws to come in the way of some expression I do agree with. I support LGBTQ+ rights. What if a law came into effect in my country saying LGBTQ+ people weren’t allowed to express their identities because it conflicts and provokes some religious group. That I would not agree with. It’s a bit of a blown up hypothetical. But in general if I believe in the freedom of speech of things I agree with and do not wish to be silenced on those things. It would be hypocritical of me to ask people to not do things I greatly disagree with. If I wish them not to do it, I believe talking with them, getting them to see my point of view, a better option than silencing them with the law.
Respect for India ++
Europe and the West are sick.
Yes they don’t cling too much on religious books
We live in a world where a flag that is not of a country is upheld with pride and celebrated and religion of 2 billion people is looked at as a crime. Well, this here folks is utter bigotry.
Pakistani Zindabaaad from Somalia❤
Thank you. H.E Shehbaz Shareif. 🇵🇰❤❤❤
Proud of Sweden ❤
Quran is allowed to kill milllions of innocent people but burning a evil book is banned 😂😂😂😂😂
If freedom of speach is so important to the west, then why do they prohibit use of some words on YouTube comments????
What does freedom of speech have to do with a violent act such as burning a religious book or other symbol? They are not synonymous in any way.
My bn concern is burning humans for religion. A srilankan buy burned. Christian in Nigeria facing serious atrocities
Western Hypocrisy!!!
Where’s their Freedom Of Expression when it comes to Holocaust & Jews. Any discussion against Holocaust ever taking place is a prison sentence offense in Europe and something alike in USA !
to those who Against the resolution…you’re disgusting.
You are allowed to express this opinion on nations. Just like anyone is allowed to express the very same opinion on religions.
Please explain why this shouldn’t be the case!
Appreciated action by pakistan and Qatar
