Demonstration in support of Turkey near the Swedish embassy in Ankara

Arab and Islamic countries condemned the burning of a copy of the Qur’an during a demonstration in Sweden.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation said the move was “a provocative act targeting Muslims and insulting their sacred values”.

Right-wing politician Rasmus Paludan burned a copy of the Koran during a demonstration in front of the Turkish embassy in Stockholm on Saturday.

Criticism was issued by the Gulf Cooperation Council. Saudi Arabia stressed “the importance of spreading the values ​​of dialogue, tolerance and coexistence, and rejecting hatred and extremism.”
