Veena Malik also took to social media, all in praises for Ilyas.
Sad to see rising Islamophobia in Norway. Millions of Muslims will react the same way as the young man #ilyas_Hero_of_Muslim_Ummah did if they see disrespect of Quran. May peace and blessing defeat the rising hate and prejudice.

All for freedom of speech but with responsiblity. No Muslim will ever allow the disrespect of #TheGloriousQuran. The reaction shown by the young man was natural and obvious. #Norway
