Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani censures the US silence on the outrageous act of desecrating the holy Quran, urging the Muslim world to take swift action against it.
Although Florida pastor Terry Jones called off his Quran burning plans in the face of fierce international condemnation, anti-Islam protesters in the US reportedly defiled the Quran and burned copies of the holy book on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on Saturday.
In his message, Larijani said the desecration of the holy Quran is a 'brutal' act which shows 'barbarism in the modern era,' ISNA reported on Monday.
The Iranian parliament speaker added that the silence of those who beat the drums for freedom and democracy on the blasphemous decision has drawn the ire of freedom-seeking humans and stirred international hatred of the US.
According to Larijani, such measures will undoubtedly hurt spiritual and religious feelings of millions of Muslims across the world as well as followers of all divine faiths.
The top parliamentarian also warned US statesmen that they should expect a 'harsh fate' if they refuse to act wisely.
He said this shameful act also reveals the weakness of hegemonic powers as they support burning and desecrating the holiest book in the world which has more than 1.5 billion followers.
The Iranian official further warned that Muslims will not remain silent in the face of sacrilegious moves.
Larijani said such insane behavior is the result of Washington's disgraceful defeats in the Iraqi and Afghan wars as well as its repeated failures in confrontation with Iran, Lebanon, Palestine and Pakistan.
He advised the US government to stop backing such savage acts 'or it should await a crushing response by Muslims across the world.'
