Pope Francis has spoken to Al-Ittihad in his first interview granted to an Arabic news outlet, according to the United Arab Emirates newspaper.
In the July 3 interview the Pope praised UAE authorities and spoke about interfaith cooperation, peace-building, and his 2019 Document on Human Fraternity.
Francis also commented on a protester’s burning of a Quran in Sweden on June 28. The Muslim holy book was burned by an Iraqi-born refugee outside a mosque in Stockholm. The incident has sparked outrage among Muslims around the world and led to a raid on the Swedish embassy in Iraq by Shia Muslim protestors.
After other recent permit requests were denied due to plans to burn copies of the Quran, the Swedish courts ruled that the protests should be allowed on the basis of freedom of expression, the BBC reported.
“I have been outraged and disgusted at such deeds,” Pope Francis said in response to a question about last week’s incident. “Any book considered sacred by its people must be respected out of respect for those who believe in it. The freedom of expression should never be used as an excuse to offend others. Allowing that is [to be] rejected and condemned.”
The papal interview was published in Arabic by Al-Ittihad with an English transcript provided to journalists.

Yet, Hypocrite Jorge just recently warmly greeted the perverted "artist" (Andres Serrano) who stuck a crucifix into a glass beaker filled with his own urine, took a photograph of it, titled it, "Piss Christ", and presented it as art.
Ping
Of course this non-Christian “pope” does everything but proclaim the Truth.
But not Paris burning?
Thank God I can still light up a fine Partagas, pop a Chianti and burn a Koran in my courtyard. Good times indeed.
I agree, burning or destruction of any religious item is a purposeful offense to believers. It simply enflames populations and isn’t necessary.
That said, people should be able to do it, just like they should be able to do it with a pride flag.
Is there no one who will free us from this maniacal lunatic?
Muslims: Way ahead of ya, Frankie, with our hadiths, like the one that says Muhammad thinks blondes are the best sex slaves.
It’s a waste of good toilet paper.

Mein Kampf?
Mao’s Little Red Book?
The Satanic Verses?
Indeed.
Has the Pope ever condemned the burning of a Bible? Oh yeah?
Prove it!
The Joe Biden of popes. Doing all he can to destroy the Catholic Church like Chomo Joe is doing to the USA
Touche
I wonder what outrages this Iraqi refugee endured at the hands of "Islam" that might have caused his family to flee their homeland? How many of his family were murdered? How many Churches, not merely books, were burned? Maybe his hate for Islam is fully justified. Maybe his peacefully burning a book is the best form of protest, rather than exacting blood revenge. Maybe the "good muslims" could reach out to him to correct the evil done in the name of their prophet? No, they just call for his murder.
I don’t care what Pope Ding Dong the Corrupt thinks about anything
Tell me when he dies
The Pope is ok with Piss Jesus
