The President of Russia was presented with a copy of the Quran while visiting an old mosque in Dagestan.
Accepting it, Vladimir Putin said that insulting the Koran is a crime in Russia, both under the Constitution and under Article 282 of the Criminal Code.
On Wednesday, the 7th of Cancer, he went to the old mosque of Dagestan. The video of Putin’s visit to this mosque has been published on the Kremlin website.
After receiving the Koran as a gift, Putin said: We know that in some countries they act differently and do not respect people’s religious feelings.
Vladimir Putin did not name any countries, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian president’s words about respecting the Koran were important given Sweden’s situation.
Yesterday, Sweden allowed a small group of protesters to burn the Koran outside a mosque in Stockholm. After that, a man set fire to a volume of the Quran.
