Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a Muslim, warned he would "deal with countries that blaspheme the Quran" after he "finishes his job" in Ukraine.
Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of the Chechen Republic within the Russian Federation, expressed outrage on August 18 over protests involving the burning of the Quran in Europe. He called the situation an "unprecedented challenge" to the Muslim world , threatening to escalate to an irreparable level.
"Where are the leaders of Muslim nations? Why are they turning a blind eye to the blasphemy against our holy scriptures, taking no significant action to protect Muslims and our religion? Are they more afraid of the reaction and punishment from the US and Europe than of the wrath of Almighty God?", Kadyrov wrote on Telegram.

"Once we're done in Ukraine, we'll move on to dealing with the countries that have blasphemed the Quran," the Chechen leader declared, adding that Muslims in Russia would not allow this situation to continue.
Kadyrov said Chechnya currently has about 10,000 soldiers fighting in Ukraine, with another 15,000 awaiting orders to deploy. He said Chechnya also has around 30,000-50,000 volunteers and heavy weaponry ready to go to the Ukrainian battlefield. "I am absolutely confident that Russia will win," he said.
Chechnya is located in southwestern Russia and has a predominantly Muslim population. Ramzan Kadyrov is the son of the late Chechen leader, Muslim cleric Akhmad Kadyrov, who was killed in an assassination bombing in 2004. Kadyrov was elected leader of Chechnya in 2007 with the support of Moscow and has been in power for nearly two decades.
Recently, protests involving the burning of the Quran have occurred in several European countries, including Sweden and Denmark. Both countries have stated that they regret this behavior but are unable to prevent it due to rules protecting freedom of speech.
Following strong reactions from Turkey and several Middle Eastern countries, Denmark announced on July 30 that it would consider legal measures to prevent protests involving the burning of the Quran, citing security concerns. The Swedish Prime Minister also agreed with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen that the situation was very dangerous.
