Yemen has banned the entry of goods produced by European countries that have enabled the desecration of the Holy Quran, in a move within the context of what the leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement called “economic sanctions”.
Faraan: In a meeting headed by the head of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat on Saturday, the council in Sana’a condemned the repetitive abuses against the Holy Quran, the latest of which was the burning of the Holy book in Denmark, the Yemeni Saba news agency said. The council “directed the National Salvation Government to prevent the entry of products from countries that allowed offense to the Holy Quran, and to prepare an implementation mechanism.”
Earlier on Friday, leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement Seyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi strongly condemned the crime of burning the Holy Quran in Europe and emphasized the need for Muslims to take a stand against the war against Islam. Ansarullah chief slams burning of the Holy Quran and says economic sanctions necessary to stop war on Islam. “Our religious attachment requires us to be angry and express our fury when they start a war with our religion,” he emphasized.
Referring to the materialistic nature of the West, al-Houthi said that the Muslim nation should confront them with the weapon of economic sanctions. “We, as Muslims, should sanction all countries that have allowed the burning of the Holy Quran and have legally supported it, because sanctions are enough to deter the enemies and force them to stop insulting Islam,” al-Houthi said.
Several European countries have been allowing such despicable acts to take place on their soils over the past months. The desecration of the Quran drew far-and-wide condemnation from the world’s Muslim countries. Last week, members of a Danish far-right group, Patrioterne Gar Live, gathered outside Turkey’s embassy in Copenhagen, displayed anti-Muslim placards and burned a copy of the Quran along with the Turkish national flag, while broadcasting it live to their Facebook page.
