London Koran Burning: Convicted Man's Unexpected Justification

London Koran Burning: Convicted Man Claims Criticism of Islam, Not Muslims A man convicted for burning a copy of the Koran outside the Turkish Consulate in London has given an exclusive interview to GB News, explaining his actions. Hamit Coskun stated, "I'm not criticising Muslims; I'm criticising the religion, Islam itself." His act of protest, while condemned by many, sparked debate about freedom of speech and religious sensitivities. Coskun's interview suggests his aim was to raise awareness about what he sees as negative effects of the Koran, not to attack Muslims personally. The incident highlights the complexities of religious expression and freedom of speech in a multicultural society. The interview offers a platform for understanding his perspective, even if his actions remain controversial. The case continues to raise questions about balancing individual rights with the need for respect and tolerance.
