Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the burning of the Koran, promising to protect Muslims from hate.
“(AlQuran) is holy to Muslims,” Putin said during his trip to Russia’s Muslim-majority region of Dagestan on Wednesday. “We know that in other countries they act differently, they don’t respect the religious sentiments of people, and say that it is not a crime (to attack one’s religious beliefs).”
Putin noted that deliberately offending and mocking religious beliefs falls under Article 282 of the Russian Criminal Code, which deals with incitement to hatred.
“It is a crime to incite religious hate,” the Russian leader said. “We will always abide by these legal rules.”
There have been several cases of activists publicly tearing pages out of the Koran and setting the book on fire, most notably in Nordic countries. On Wednesday, a Swedish court allowed the Koran to be burned outside of a mosque in Stockholm on Eid al-Adha, a major Muslim holiday.
The burning of the Koran in countries such as Sweden and Norway has led to protests by Muslims at home and abroad. The authorities in these states usually condemn the acts themselves, but argue that they are protected under freedom of expression laws.
Putin vows strict punishment for anyone found guilty of disrespecting Quran in Russia’s Islamic states
Amid rising Islamophobia, the world witnessed deliberate acts of desecration of the Holy Quran, which were highly offensive and disrespectful by Muslims as these acts are seen as an affront to the religion of over 2 billion people.
As West failed to take any measures to stop such attempts that trigger strong backlash, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced sentence for anyone found guilty of burning Islam’s holiest book in the Muslim regions.
Kremlin state-run news agency quoting the Russian president said offenders will complete their sentences, as directed by the Minister of Justice, in places of deprivation of liberty located in one of the regions of Russia with a predominantly Muslim population.
Russian premier made these remarks during a meeting with army commissars. The recent development comes a month after a Russian resident was held for desecrating a copy of the Quran in front of a mosque, a move that caused outrage, especially in Chechnya.
Besides banning any Islamophobic events, Moscow earlier denounced Sweden for allowing citizen to burn copy of the Quran in the capital Stockholm.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said that insulting Islam's Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) is not covered by freedom of expression.
In 2021, Putin said that insults to the Prophet are a violation of religious freedom and a violation of the sacred feelings of people who profess Islam. He made the statements during his annual press conference where he stressed the significance of artistic freedom without hindrance to religious freedom.
Russian president asserted artistic freedom in general but also stressed to discern its limits saying it should not attack the freedom of other communities.
Back in 2006, Putin called the caricatures depicting Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) an inadmissible provocation. He condemned blasphemous cartoons saying these incidents create an additional rift between faiths, and offend and provoke worshippers.
Putin: Insulting Prophet Muhammad is not freedom of expression
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said insulting Prophet Muhammad does not count as freedom of expression.
Insults to the prophet are a "violation of religious freedom and the violation of the sacred feelings of people who profess Islam,", Putin said on Thursday during his annual news conference, Russian News Agency TASS reported.
Putin also criticised posting photos of Nazis on websites such as the one titled the Immortal Regiment dedicated to Russians that died in World War Two.
Putin said these acts give rise to extremist reprisals, citing as an example the attack on the editorial office of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris after its publication of cartoons of the prophet.
While praising artistic freedom in general, Putin said it has its limits and it should not infringe on other freedoms.
Russia has evolved as a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional state, so Russians, he said, are used to respecting each other’s traditions.
In some other countries, this respect comes in short supply, Putin said.
Protesters in the Paris suburb of Nanterre started attacking police with fireworks and setting vehicles on fire, forcing law enforcement to use stun grenades, as protests against the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old teenager during a traffic stop continue for the second night, it reported Wednesday.
In a working class Paris suburb, two police officers confront a 17-year-old driver in a canary yellow Mercedes who was stopped in traffic. They shout at him, video footage shows, and one officer appears to have his gun drawn. The teenager is then fatally shot in broad daylight.
The shooting — and the diverging accounts of what caused it — led to spasms of violence on the streets and criticism of the officers by French officials normally loath to utter the words “police violence.”
The initial accounts of the events on Tuesday, provided to the French news media by anonymous police sources, claimed the driver had plowed into the officers, leading one to shoot. Then a video surfaced on Twitter.
That footage, believed to have been captured by a witness, showed the car was stopped as an officer on the driver’s side pointed a gun into the vehicle. When the car started to pull away, a blast was heard, and the car hurtled off, crashing into a nearby sidewalk.
The teenage driver died an hour later
Several cars on the street, where clashes were taking place, were set on fire, with one of the vehicles having been flipped over. A small group of police officers was seen moving down the street, but protesters were keeping their distance and quickly retreating, the correspondent reported.
French media reported protests continued in other French cities and regions as well, including Toulouse, Lille, Hauts-de-France and Viry-Chatillon, with protesters using rocks to attack police and law enforcement responding with tear gas.
The mother of the deceased teenager has called on residents of Nanterre to gather for a "silent march" on Thursday afternoon in front of the city prefecture to protest against the fatal shooting of her son, according to her social media.
The teenage boy was shot in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Tuesday morning after he refused to comply with police instructions.
News media reported the teenager was driving a rental car and broke several traffic rules. Violent protests erupted in several suburbs of Paris at night following the incident.
French Interior Minister said earlier on Wednesday that 31 people were detained during the riots, 24 police officers were slightly injured and about 40 cars were torched. He added that the French authorities would deploy more than 2,000 police officers in the suburbs of Paris to ensure security.
The shooting fed into longstanding complaints about the French police, who have faced accusations of brutality, especially in Paris’s poorer suburbs, which are often home to people from immigrant backgrounds.
As the video spread, President Emmanuel Macron called the shooting “inexcusable.” Lawmakers held a moment of silence for the teenager, whose name was given only as Nahel M.
Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, while taking pains to note the commitment of officers and gendarmes “who are in the field every day,” offered stark criticism, saying the footage showed an operation “that clearly does not appear to comply with the rules of engagement of our police forces.”
Even Gérald Darmanin, Mr. Macron’s tough-talking interior minister and a frequent defender of the police, was unusually critical, saying, “An act like the one that we saw, if the investigation confirms the videos that we have seen, is never justified.”
Local prosecutors in Nanterre, the western suburb of Paris where the shooting occurred, have opened a manslaughter investigation. The officer accused of shooting the teenager has not been publicly identified and has not been charged, but was in custody for questioning.
Alliance Police Nationale, a police union, reacted angrily to Mr. Macron’s comments and said in a statement that police officers, “like any citizen, have the right to the presumption of innocence,” and that it was “inconceivable” for Mr. Macron or other officials to “condemn our colleagues” before the end of the investigation.
So far, no official has disputed the content of the unconfirmed video, which spread widely on social media. The woman who said she had posted the original video on Twitter told The New York Times that it had been given to her by the witness, with whom she is close. The woman asked that her name be withheld to avoid repercussions for sharing the footage.
After unrest erupted overnight Tuesday, Mr. Darmanin said that 2,000 police officers and gendarmes would be deployed across the Paris region on Wednesday evening to contain any more violence. As night fell, sporadic clashes erupted once again in several French cities, including Toulouse and Lille. In Nanterre, protesters set cars on fire and set off fireworks; in Viry-Châtillon, south of Paris, a group of young people set a bus on fire, but no injuries were reported.
During earlier violence, rioters threw rocks and fireworks at riot police, who responded with tear gas. Protesters burned about 40 cars. A City Hall annex in Mantes-la-Jolie, a town west of Paris, was destroyed. And more than 30 people were arrested, according to the French authorities.
Sofia Berkoukeche, 29, an occupational psychologist who has lived in Nanterre for nearly a decade, said on Wednesday that there was “a general frustration with police violence” and called the shooting “the last straw.”
“You can’t take such radical measures to impose order,” said Ms. Berkoukeche, who was working on the terrace of a cafe in the suburb. “It makes the police less credible.”
The shooting inflamed long-simmering anger in suburbs where relations between the police and residents are often freighted with mistrust. In one of the most infamous episodes in the Paris suburbs, two teenagers, Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré, running from the police were electrocuted in 2005 after they hid in an electrical substation, provoking weeks of violent protests across the country.
It also revived debate about the French police’s use of deadly force, with some left-wing lawmakers saying it was yet more evidence that a 2017 law making it easier for officers to shoot at moving vehicles should be repealed, or at least revised.
The law says officers can shoot if they deem the moving vehicle dangerous to their lives or to those of others. It was passed after several police unions argued that it was needed to better protect officers. Critics have said that it is too vague and might lead to unnecessary deaths. While acknowledging that police shootings at moving vehicles have increased since the law passed, the French authorities have said that the rise is mostly because more drivers are refusing to stop.
Laurent Nuñez, the Paris police prefect, told the French TV channel CNews that the two officers had tried to stop the car on Tuesday because the driver had committed several traffic violations and had not complied with orders to stop, before getting stuck in traffic.
“Why is it that, in our republic, a failure to comply can be punishable by a bullet in the chest or head?” Sabrina Sebaihi, a lawmaker representing the district where the teenager was killed, said in Parliament on Tuesday.
Mr. Darmanin said the officer involved in the shooting would be punished if warranted. Both officers, who are in their late 30s and early 40s, are experienced members of the traffic police and have no record of misconduct, Mr. Darmanin added.
The prosecutor’s office in Nanterre said that the shooting had occurred near Place Nelson Mandela, a square not far from La Défense, a business district northwest of Paris. Two people were in the vehicle, a Mercedes-AMG, in addition to the driver, the office said: One was released after questioning; the other was still being sought after fleeing the scene.
Yassine Bouzrou, a lawyer for Nahel M.’s relatives, said that they were planning to file a complaint accusing the officer of murder. The family would also file suit accusing the other officer of complicity, the lawyer said.
Assa Traoré, an activist whose half brother, Adama Traoré, died of asphyxiation while in custody in 2016 after fleeing a police identification check, said that the video from Tuesday had been key in quickly spurring widespread protests. Many similar encounters are not caught on camera, she noted.
“He is a symbol of all the other ones that we don’t see,” Ms. Traoré said of Nahel M.
Nanterre, with a population of nearly 100,000, is home to one of the Paris region’s largest universities. It is a more working-class area than neighboring cities, though not nearly as impoverished as some of the other suburbs that ring Paris.
Patrick Jarry, the mayor of Nanterre, said at a news conference on Wednesday that the suburb had experienced “one of the worst days of its history.”
“Let us stop this destructive spiral,” Mr. Jarry said. “We want justice for Nahel; we will obtain it through peaceful mobilization.”
A march in the teenager’s name is scheduled for Thursday.
Residents of Nanterre said they were both shocked and unsurprised by the shooting.
Mathilde Emery, a 17-year-old high school student who was on a park bench, said she had known Nahel and described him as an easygoing classmate who liked to joke around.
Warplanes of Russia’s Battlegroup Center delivered airstrikes on eight areas of the deployment of Ukrainian troops and artillery, the battlegroup’s spokesman Alexander Savchuk told TASS on Thursday.
"Su-25 fighter jets of the Battlegroup Center delivered rocket strikes on eight areas where Ukrainian manpower and artillery were concentrated. Apart from that, crews of Su-34 warplanes delivered strikes on two enemy centers of temporary deployment, one stronghold, and a communications point," he said.
According to the spokesman, a Fury drone was shot down from a Tor-M1 air defense system in the Krasny Liman area. Apart from that, in his words, the enemy artillery and mortar positions were hit by Russian forces in the course of counterbattery activities. "Enemy armored combat vehicles, an armored infantry carrier and five pickup trucks, as well as manpower were hit by artillery," Savchuk said.
Watch Russian Choppers Blast Ukrainian Convoy of Armored Vehicle

KOMPAS/RADITYA HELABUMI Menteri Koordinator Bidang Politik, Hukum, dan Keamanan Mahfud MD
Menteri Koordinator Bidang Politik, Hukum, dan Keamanan, Mahfud MD, menyatakan penegakan hukum pidana harus dilakukan sesegera mungkin. Menurut dia, penegakan hukum pidana tidak boleh dihalang-halangi ataupun di-backing oleh siapa pun.
“Hukum pidana itu harus segera ditindak. Penegakan hukum pidana itu tidak boleh dihalang-halangi oleh aparat siapa pun. Tidak boleh dibekingi siapa pun,” ujar Mahfud usai melakukan Sholat Idul Adha di Masjid Agung Semarang, Jawa Tengah, hari Kamis, 29/06/2023.
Menurut Mahfud, presidenlah yang mem-backing penegakan hukum dengan dibantu oleh para menterinya. Mantan ketua Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) itu mengatakan, tidak boleh ada satu pihak pun yang mem-backing penjahat. “Tidak boleh ada orang membekingi penjahat,” kata dia.
Hal itu dia sampaikan setelah memberikan respons terhadap persoalan Jusuf Hamka dengan Kementerian Keuangan. Persoalan mengenai utang-piutang itu, menurut Mahfud, masuk ke ranah hukum perdata. Karena itu, penyelesaiannya tidak perlu buru-buru.
“Karena ini hubungan keperdataan juga utang-piutang nanti diselesaikannya ndak usah buru-buru dalam arti kita cari waktu yang tepat untuk bicara secara jernih,” kata Mahfud.
Dia menjelaskan, pemilik PT Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada Tbk itu menemuinya baru sekitar dua pekan lalu. Mahfud mengaku sudah berbicara dengan Jusuf Hamka dan menyatakan akan menyelesaikan persoalan yang ada karena persoalan itu merupakan persoalan negara yang juga harus diselesaikan.
“Tidak boleh negara memburu-buru orang yang punya utang kepada negara tapi kewajiban negara atau utang negara terhadap rakyat diambangkan terus, di-review terus selama bertahun-tahun itu tidak boleh,” kata dia menjelaskan.
Namun, Mahfud mengatakan, sejak bertemu dengan Jusuf Hamka hingga hari ini dia belum bertemu dengan Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani karena kesibukan masing-masing. Karena itu, dia belum dapat membahas persoalan Jusuf Hamka itu lebih lanjut dengan pihak terkait.
Mahfud Sebut Ada Aspek Pidana dalam Polemik Ma’had Al-Zaytun
Dalam kaitan Al-Zaitun, penanganan polemik yang terjadi di Ma’had Al-Zaytun, Kabupaten Indramayu, Jawa Barat, terus dilakukan. Yang terbaru, Menteri Koordinator Bidang Politik, Hukum, dan Keamanan Mahfud MD menyebutkan, ada aspek hukum pidana dalam kasus tersebut. Ia berkomitmen, proses hukum bakal diselesaikan secepatnya.
”Aspek hukum pidana ini tentu akan ditangani oleh Polri dan tidak akan diambangkan. Tidak boleh ada satu perkara itu diambangkan. Kalau ya, (artinya) ya, kalau tidak, ya, tidak. Jangan laporan ditampung, lalu ada hambatan sana-sini, tidak jalan, tidak jelas,” ujar Mahfud di sela-sela kunjungan kerja di Kota Semarang, Jawa Tengah, Kamis (29/6/2023).
Mahfud mengatakan, tidak ada target waktu khusus yang ditetapkan pemerintah untuk menyelesaikan kasus hukum pidana tersebut. Kendati demikian, negara berkomitmen akan menyelesaikan persoalan itu secepat mungkin.
Menurut Mahfud, penegakan hukum pidana terhadap kasus tersebut tidak boleh dihalang-halangi oleh siapa pun, termasuk oleh aparat. Ia juga menegaskan, kasus itu tidak boleh ”dibekingi".
”Beking terhadap penegakan hukum itu presiden. Presiden beking penegakan hukum yang dibantu oleh para menterinya. Tidak boleh ada orang membekingi penjahat,” tuturnya.
Mahfud menambahkan, evaluasi juga akan dilakukan terhadap pondok pesantren di bawah naungan Ma’had Al-Zaytun. Evaluasi itu untuk melihat lebih jauh terkait penyelenggaraan pendidikannya, kurikulum yang diterapkan, serta konten pengajarannya.
Mahfud menjamin, hak-hak belajar para murid maupun santri di pondok pesantren tersebut tidak akan diganggu. Penerimaan santri baru yang dikabarkan tetap dilakukan oleh pihak pesantren juga dipersilakan. ”Tetapi, orangnya yang melakukan pelanggaran hukum harus ditindak secara tegas,” lanjutnya.
”Tujuan kami tidak hanya menghentikan langkah Panji Gumilang, tetapi kami juga ingin melihat ada proses hukum, ingin ada keadilan, tidak ada yang kebal hukum. Ini sudah jelas, ini penodaan agama," ujar Ken.
Menurut Direktur Tindak Pidana Umum Bareskrim Polri Brigadir Jenderal (Pol) Djuhandani Rahardjo Puro, polisi masih menyelidiki laporan terhadap Panji. Proses penyelidikan dengan memeriksa atau melakukan klarifikasi terhadap pelapor dan meminta keterangan dari tokoh atau saksi ahli yang paham agama Islam, seperti MUI dan Kementerian Agama.
Nantinya setelah mendapat keterangan dari para pihak, kepolisian akan secepatnya melakukan gelar perkara guna memutuskan apakah sudah ada bukti permulaan yang cukup. ”Kewajiban kita adalah mengonstruksikan dari laporan tersebut, apakah itu terpenuhi alat bukti ataupun keterangan yang mana serta apakah merupakan suatu tindak pidana atau bukan. Tentu saja dengan pembuktian,” ucap Djuhandani.
Sebelumnya, sejumlah pernyataan dari pemimpin Al-Zaytun, Panji, memicu polemik di masyarakat. Polemik itu, antara lain, perempuan bisa satu saf dengan pria saat shalat Idul Fitri dan nyanyian salam yang diduga identik dengan Israel.
Persoalan terkait Al-Zaytun turut menyita perhatian Presiden Joko Widodo. Presiden telah memerintahkan Mahfud dan Menteri Agama Yaqut Cholil Qoumas untuk mendalami kasus tersebut.
Presiden juga membantah ada pihak Istana yang melindungi keberadaan Pondok Pesantren Al-Zaytun. ”Saya dong Istana? Ndaklah. Ndak, ndak, ndak," ucap Presiden. Ia juga menepis tudingan bahwa Kepala Staf Kepresidenan Moeldoko melindungi Al-Zaytun.
Moeldoko juga membantah melindungi Panji. Namun, ia tidak membantah memiliki kedekatan dengan penimpin Al-Zaytun tersebut. Kedekatan itu lebih pada konteks hubungan membangun komunikasi dengan semua pihak.
Seiring mencuatnya polemik tentang Al-Zaytun, Moeldoko menyebut belum berkomunikasi secara langsung dengan Panji. ”Konteksnya komunikasi politik jangan diartikan macam-macam. Semakin saya dekat dengan Pak Panji Gumilang, saya, kan, bisa semakin melihat apa yang akan terjadi," tambahnya.
Selama menjabat Kepala Staf Kepresidenan, Moeldoko satu kali hadir dan ceramah kebangsaan di Al-Zaytun. Sebelumnya, Moeldoko juga pernah menyambangi Al-Zaytun ketika masih menjabat Panglima Kodam III/Siliwangi.
Sebelumnya, Wakil Presiden Ma’ruf Amin menegaskan bahwa polemik terkait Al-Zaytun harus segera ditindaklanjuti. Penyelesaian polemik ini mempertimbangkan pandangan-pandangan dari berbagai pihak, termasuk Nahdlatul Ulama Jawa Barat, Persatuan Islam, dan MUI.

Ucapkan Selamat Idul Adha, Airlangga Doakan Indonesia Rukun-Sejahtera
Ketua Umum DPP Partai Golkar Airlangga Hartarto mengucapkan selamat Hari Raya Idul Adha 1444 Hijriah untuk seluruh umat Islam di Indonesia. Airlangga menuturkan, perayaan Idul Adha tahun ini menjadi momentum masyarakat untuk menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia adalah bangsa yang rukun dan damai.
