This is not freedom
An Iranian activist on the social network X, with the username Pegah Milan, described the insult to the followers of Jesus Christ (PBUH) as an insult to history, beliefs, and culture. She wrote:
"This was the greatest insult to the followers of Christ. This is not called freedom. No, no, no, this is an insult to history, beliefs, and culture."
Ultimate vulgarity
Ali, another Iranian activist on the social network X, considered the insult to Jesus Christ (PBUH) at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony the ultimate vulgarity and wrote:
"The ultimate vulgarity at the 2024 France Olympics, showing the peak of the decline of Western culture, is illustrated with a new depiction of the famous painting of Jesus Christ with his apostles. In this depiction at the France Olympics, a fat prostitute replaces Jesus Christ, and around this woman are homosexual men and women."
The ugliest Olympics in history
An Iranian social network user on X, "Montazer-e Mahdi," described the Paris Olympics as one of the ugliest in history and wrote:
"The Paris Olympics is one of the ugliest Olympics in history. The insult to Jesus Christ was one of the ugly acts that happened at the opening of this Olympics."
Insulting Jesus is also an insult to Muslims
Mohammad, an Iranian user and activist on the social network X, considered the insult to Jesus Christ (PBUH) at the Olympic opening ceremony an insult to Muslims and wrote:
"Insulting Jesus is also an insult to us Muslims. Insulting any divine prophet is an insult to us. Islam is nothing but submission to divine commands, and anyone in the world who submits to God's command is our friend, and we must support them."
In the same context, a user named Parvaneh wrote:
"As a Muslim, I am angry about this cruel insult to Jesus and Christianity... As a Christian, how do you feel about it?"

Curse to this satanic Olympics
